Its not like Magnolia where I cry for each character's dilemas.

You mean you didn't want them to include Marlena's sexually abusive father in there, who tries to kill himself but fails to do so because the monster slaps the gun out of his hand?

I think we often think of good writing as something that is confined to serious movies but it's not - it's the reason movies like 'Old School', 'Back to the Future' and 'Knocked Up' are awesome too. If you don't have a quality script you often have an empty exercise that has to have other things to distract people from that deficit (e.g. big froggy monster, Jessica Simpson's boobs, "From the Producer Of something much better", etc.)
