Everyone should see this at least once.

I'm not the biggest fan of Quentin Tarantino, I find his dialog to be a bit tedious at times, but he did VERY well on this film. Some of the dialog & situations are a bit silly, and some of the dialog runs on for a little too long, but it's not so bad that it's distracting, and as I said, it's what one expects from Tarantino. It's still entertaining.
The most remarkable thing about this movie for me is the way the independent story lines converge & diverge effortlessly. THAT was brilliant. Unfortunately he's used this mechanism before, to lesser degrees, but it really worked so well this time.
The cast was nothing short of brilliant, really - I don't say this lightly. There are too many brilliant moments for me to try to isolate the brightest performance - even the supporting cast was brilliant. To remove or alter one performance would diminish the overall experience. It's incredibly rare in film that a cast of this size would be so consistently good.
You may not care for the at-times dark subject matter, you may not care for the fact that it doesn't have a pronounced point of story resolution at the end, you may not care for the excessive cursing, but you will enjoy this movie immensely.
