So many things don't make sense!

He lied about having to be in a wheelchair ever since he was 5. But the truth was he needed a wheelchair for a little while when he was 14 due to some accident which I cant recall, and he later on started to use it as a "disguise" of some sort.

I dont get your second question, but I can tell you this; this movie stinks. It really sucks.

Just because he met the guy in high school does not mean he didn't go to college where Tom meets Sofia

It's supposed to be a character driven picture but the writing is poor and the storylines are super lame. The cast is great but the movie falls really flat. And though there are a lot of inconsistencies they hardly matter, don't you think?

But I would seriously watch paint dry if Jason Bateman were in the scene - hehehe.








Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up!

1) when he comes clean and tells the truth he says he was in some hackey-sack accident at 14 years old so only needed it for a little while. At around that time he moved to Ohio and thought he'd "milk it a little" so all the people he met in Ohio, Sofia's parents included, would have gotten his fake sob-story about having been in a wheelchair since 5.

2)Tom may have just kept in touch with his high school friends as Sofia moved to an area where he seems to have grown up. I'm at a different university to my secondary school friends but still know all the gossip as we still meet up over the holidays. So yes, they knew he had a hot girlfriend, doesn't mean they went to college with her.

Chip is a lying sociopath that uses a wheelchair for sympathy. Why wouldn't he lie to people and tell him he was in a wheelchair since 5? It is part of his lying character.

The old high school friend could have hung out summers with Tom and knew about the girlfriend. That isn't beyond reason.

I liked the film. It wasn't the best comedy I have ever seen, but it deserves a better rating than it has gotten, but I think I saw an uncensored version that had more un-PC humor in it.

And many years later...the confusion probably lies in which version you saw. That alone, making the unrated version shorter AND different, shows exactly what kind of producers worked on this film. The producers obviously had no faith in this movie or they wouldn't have changed so much. Seriously who's ever heard of the unrated version being shorter and having a whole different ending?! People who enjoyed it in the theatre were disappointed if not angry when they bought the movie only to have a less funny movie and ending. Did the case of the movie read: "new unrated version! With 5 minutes left out! If you hated the ending buy this one so you can have a different one!!" If they were trying to do as Clue did years ago with theatres in one city having different endings to the who done it then they missed big time. I honestly cannot imagine why they would change a DVD? The people buying it are the ones who enjoyed the theatrical ending. They certainly don't want a lot changes and a less climatic ending. I am amazed and I sincerely hope the producers took a knock for these decisions. Bateman and Braff have enough pull that they should've fought all of this. It will be sad to find out they weren't complacement-they supported it!
