Paul Thomas Anderson's ``Boogie Nights'' is an epic of the low road, a classic Hollywood story set in the shadows instead of the spotlights but containing the same ingredients: Fame, envy, greed, talent, sex, money.
``Boogie Nights'' tells this story through the life of a kid named Eddie Adams (Mark Wahlberg) from the San Fernando Valley, who is a dishwasher in a Hollywood nightclub when he's discovered by a Tiparillo-smoking pornographer named Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds).
Adult films are a business here, not a dalliance or a pastime, and one of the charms of ``Boogie Nights'' is the way it shows the everyday backstage humdrum life of porno filmmaking.

 BBC - Films - review - Boogie Nights
And that's the trouble with Anderson's "Boogie Nights", an ambitious exploration of the American porno film industry.
What lets the film down is Anderson's copycat visual style, which is derivative to the point of distraction, and his inclusion of an abundance of period music as a short cut to atmosphere is trite rather than evocative.
Nowhere near as good as its reputation suggests (derived in part from a vogue for 1970s nostalgia that has long outstayed its welcome), "Boogie Nights" remains worth your time thanks to quality performances of refreshingly flawed characters, and in its depiction of a billion dollar area of the film business that remains outside the mainstream.

 FireBlade DVD Review: Boogie Nights
Here in “Boogie Nights” the music isn’t quite so tight to the story, but it is still an important part of the film.
In “Boogie Nights” the same thing happens; one scene has three bullets fired, two of which were accidents, and they each hit their marks exactly; another scene has more bullets fired, none accidentally, and the two main characters come out of it fine.
And it was directed by P.T. Anderson during a break from filming “Boogie Nights”, so it also has some of the “Boogie Nights” cast and crew.
