Nice story, but about 1.5 hours too long

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2007)

OK, I get it...he's down on his luck. Had that figured out pretty early in the movie. Very inspiring, but the constant coincidences that extended his bad luck got a little overplayed. How many times can he lose a scanner and then find it again in a city with a billion people in it??? How many scenes of him running down the sidewalk yelling "hey, wait!" can there be???
There's a payoff at the end, but it's a looooong ride to get there. And then as soon as we get the payoff - boom - it's over. Great short story; below-average movie.
Not sure why this gets so many great reviews and a high star rating here.
