After watching the trailer and the film I'm pretty sure everything was pointing towards Corbit and Reese; their scenes were hilarious, they had such great chemistry and in the end she just ends up with this Rob guy? I mean, what?! what a totally misleading trailer and film... still though, it was pretty entertaining, i gave it a 9
shareYou need to change your tittle. It's a spoiler for those that haven't seen the movie and it shows up on the page for said movie. Thanks for ruining for me.
shareI never expected nor wanted them to get involved. It would have ruined the flow of the film. It wasn't about their relationship together. The film was about a girls relationship with her parents and how the dysfunction continued even with outsiders.
As for her "ending up" with this other guy, she didn't exactly end up with him just because they happen to meet on the street at the end of the film.
"Tom Mix wept"
You mean that random guy that was waiting for her with a bunch of flowers and that she had met a few times earlier on in the film?
shareI wouldn't call him random as she did sleep with him early on and it was established that they had known each other enough to do that. It seemed like more of a friendship with sex than a relationship. Hence the idea that "ending up together" can't really be established over one final scene.
"Tom Mix wept"
The point was that she went back to her life in NY and moved past her issues with her parents. She was ready to have a serious relationship with a nice guy that cared about her instead of snorting coke and sleeping with the sleezy actor guy from the beginning.
shareI thought the same too, when I started to watch the movie. But by the end I realized that they were just friends and wouldn't be, and didn't need to be, anything more.
Corbit is just a genuinely sweet guy. And Reese took to him because he was nice and sweet unlike all of the people who she has met being in the acting business, and far from growing up with the parents who she did, who were obviously very complicated people.
Corbit likes Reese because she's Ron's daughter, because she's different, and she seems interesting.
It's really nothing more than a friendship.
Rob isn't just some random guy-- he and Reese had probably known each other for a few years prior to the movie's beginning, them being in the same acting circles and all. He has obviously liked her for a long time (remember the scene where he gives her his number hoping she would call him up and tell him she wants him to stay in New York?). But Reese kept pushing him away because she just couldn't commit. She was just sort of empty.
i thought the same thing from the trailer, but in the movie i think reese was portrayed as more feeling sympathetic towards a kind of broken man/looser in corbit. there was no real sexual tension between them, and apart from when reese went a little crazy and tried to hook up with him their friendship seemed very platonic. to me anyway :)
im glad she got with rob, he seemed to be in love with her at the start when he gave her his number, but she looked lost and didn't care about love. at the end she learnt how to feel again...
The attitude Reese has towards Rob at the end differed to the feelings (or lack of) she had for him at the beginning. At the start, their conversation was very quick and to the point - both seemed distant in each others presence, very emotionless. But in the conclusion of the film, Reese could actually start a conversation like a normal couple - we see plenty of emotion in both characters. Obviously going back to her home changed her as a person.
