Some people feel that the ending cheated them by subjecting them to pure hollywood drivel, a sort of cheap trick. But one knew something fantastical was going to happen, all signs pointed to that, and the characters even told us. A anti-hollywood film a relatively new genre, but a worthwhile one, even if it too is formulaic. I liked it in a very non-philosophical way, an entertaining look at how something strange could happen to seemingly normal people. I was surprised, and the fact that I knew I would be surprised, didn't negate my enjoyment of it.

. . . ending as perfect. The cop-out was completely intentional. It was his real life and yet it was exactly what he was saying all film long about how bogus contrived, Hollywoody movie endings usually are. It ended exactly how he didn't want it to end, even though it really happened (in the context of the film).The irony and knowing wink was obvious . . . to me anyway.
Lots of people aren't going to get this movie, but that's ok.
This film failure was that it has to be anti-Hollywood, for the sake of beeing.
It is confuse, mixed like a potpourri.
A great occasion ( writer blocade )definitively lost.
