There were some very good elements to this film including some endearing characters and a strong depiction is a deep love in the beginning. It turned very dark about halfway through and spiraled for way too long into what became one nasty scene after another, far beyond what was necessary to establish the sentiment. Then the ending was a complete and total let down emotionally. I don't remember the last time I was so mad at a director for screwing up an ending like that. My disappointment does reflect the degree to which I connected with the characters. I thought the lead in the film was able to create a compelling character, and had some strong scenes throughout. Overall the film had an identity crisis, starting with a quirky, fun Amy Heckerling vibe and empathetic characters and ended up like a bad version of Fatal Attraction. Very respectable effort on behalf of the actors of the four primary characters.
