The last time I watched this (more than two decades ago), I was still majorly impressed watching a long(ish) tracking shot. And, fair enough, Anderson shows plenty of flair and offers up a nice mix of drama and (light) comedy. Boogie Nights is a film that bristles with energy, but I don't think it's still up there with the best.
The cast is on point, Anderson does a great job capturing the setting, but the runtime's a little excessive (which is the result of the big cast of characters, but still) and the genre switch at the end didn't work that well. But if you haven't seen this one yet and you have some time to spare, you could do a lot worse.
