Summary: Mild fishing violence.

Short Cuts is not P.T. Anderson’s 1999 film Magnolia. Short Cuts stars Tim Robbins as a family-man cop rather than John C. Reilly as a lonely-heart cop, and cellist Lori Singer is poisoned by carbon monoxide in the garage rather than heiress Julianne Moore, although Julianne Moore is in both films, as is Tom Waits who slightly resembles a skinny John C. Reilly. Other actors also are in both films playing confusingly similar but different characters.
