An excellent waste of a movie..............(minor spoilers)

Rating: 3/10 (18 July 2007)

What a nice idea for a movie!!!! A brilliant idea.... Ruined by - who else - Hollywood.........
A boring man, living a boring life, hears his story narrated by a voice. Excellent. What a thrilling experience would have been... Up about the last 10 minutes it was truly wonderful to watch. It had some mistakes as a whole, like the easy pairing of Ferrel and Gyllenhaal with just a song, the miscast of Latifah, the irritating coffee scenes with Hoffman (always with a coffee in his hand i mean), but it still delivered.
And then came Hollywood. Was there a reason for such a graive Mistake (with a capitol M)? Why ruin the movie? Why the crappy ending? Who ever said that it would be better to not kill Ferrel? Who ever said that it would be better to stay with the girl? Don't they (and by 'they' i mean Hollywood) know by now that viewers are actually getting sick and bored and tired by those silly, idiotic, unreasonample, uncreative, ludicrous, laughable endings? Well, of course they know it. They just want to hit younger audiences. That's why they still use that endings. And by doing that they keep ruining very good films.
What an excellent...........waste.
