I believe Lorelei sat in the movie theatre watching "Magnolia" & screaming I want my life back for three hours.  Granted it is not the typical Tom Cruise movie.  Most of the time he doesn’t even look pretty, & the self respecting woman in me hated his character. At no point in the movie did he say anything along the lines of "You had me at hello".  It’s classified as a Drama, & rated R for a good reason. I would classify this movie in it’s own special genre "What the crap just happened?".  However, I liked it.  You have to be a genius to be that random.  "Magnolia" is ranked #179 on the IMD.COM’s Top 250 films of all time.  I wouldn’t go that far in my adoration of the film.  I probably wouldn’t even watch it again because the wow factor would be gone for me.  However, I’m not screaming I want my life back.
