Cameron Crowe Stole this movie scene for scene, line for line

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2002)

When I first saw this film in theatre's I was fairly underwhelmed by it. I thought it dragged on and the ending was a total copout, and I was immediately interested in seeing what the original version (made only four years earlier) was like, as I had heard it didn't have the terrible ending. I recently found a copy for a very reasonable price and was absolutely astonished at what I saw. Cameron Crowe copied the film scene for scene, line for line... and the things he changed he made worse. He should be ashamed of himself! I have lost all respect I had for Crowe as a film maker, putting a different spin on a story is a nice thing, but blatantly copying is just pathetic.
