Just one more thing...

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2005)

No need to add to the trouncing the film's already gotten here, but... I was astounded at how class-ridden the film's ending was. Here comes Tom, the yutz, grimy and beaten. Out comes Miranda from behind her intact 19th-century glass door, freshly-pressed and newly-showered. After scooping up her daughter, she won't even approach the guy, she just mouths "thank you" from a distance.
And up on the stoop: grandma and grandpa and -- my favorite character in the movie -- step dad Tim, well-heeled and ineffectual Tim. They're all smiling, but you can almost hear them discussing the tip: "What do you think for this guy, a twenty? Well done, son. Pick it up at the service entrance."
Absolutely ridiculous.
