Oh Paul Thomas Anderson. Ever since the master your films have been on a slight down tick. The performances are great from all the new comers and the vets. The camera work and cinematography are stellar. Also the score is very good.

But as for the story, this is very poor. It's aimless in its vision and just seems to be random scenes written for the 2 leads to be a part of. The situations they get into are all over the place and there no real feel for how much time is passing from scene to scene. It feels as if the film is a sitcom from the 90s stretched out into a 2 hour film.

I love Paul Thomas Anderson but this is his second worst for me after Inherent Vice. Which isn't to say it's bad. I had a good time watching the film it's just not very memorable and not PTA at his best. I'll be waiting for the next film though without a doubt..
