But those haves no longer have that home in Jersey.... Would you have preferred them to invite him in instead of ending with the tearful reunion?

I liked the emasculating effect Mirando Otto's husband had on Cruise's character: better relationship with the kids, who kiss and hug him like he's their father, and Otto (who I think's a total knockout and whom I would have preferred to have seen more fetchingly slim) pretty well underscored that effect by being pregnant by this new man. Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, Miranda Otto's husband didn't appear at the end. I'm sure that was a conscious omission, though too easy, I think.
