Good camera angles

Hasn't anybody else noticed the cool camera angles? A lot of times they could have been 'closer' (focusing more on feelings in a shallow way; like real chick-flicks) but they didn't. Kudos for the angles. Two examples: when the girl is driving the golf car; the camera look like it's at least half the screen to much to right. Good angle. Another example: when the girl finds Knoxville on the ground with the tv (almost at the end), they never go into a close-up. I love that! Any other director would have made a shot showing a tear or a smile.

I'm just saying: this movie had some great performances (kudos for Knoxville: he really surprised me) and some great camera shots. Why did the story just had to be so lame?
