Boo to ending

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2003)

Based on the reaction from the audience (apparently consisted of young, much less sophisticating viewers) at the test screening, the staff decided to go with the open ended and yet puzzling ending. The alternate (and claimed original according to the DVD version) ending would have been far better and philosophically more logical. It is too bad that the quality of the film had to suffer motivated by a targeted higher box office sales. I give it a 6 but it can easily be a 7/7.5.
On a separate note, the movie can use a bit more romance. That was surprising because the final objective of the film was to aim for young viewers.
