I saw a screening of this at the Wexner Center in Columbus and a fire alarm went off an hour into the movie. I ended up leaving because a) I wasn't nuts about what I saw and b) the alarm pissed me off.
Anyone care to tie up the ending of the movie?
the ending felt very rushed and incomplete, and there are a lot of loose ends that don't get tied up. Basically, Tran gets kicked out by his parents and moves in with Michelle (the hot girl from the arcade) while it's implied that Aimie starts dating (or at least has an encounter with) Steve, the guy she was talking to at the party.

CELTIXSHAMROX: I agree the ending was rushed, but I believe that's because in life there are long periods that we will never recall. However the moments that we do remember are over with so quickly we don't get a chance to realize what just happened! Wether the outcome is good or bad or whatever, you'll have the rest of your life to think about that paticular outcome, and contemplate what you would have done differently and how you'll handle the situation next time it happens.
yea what the last guy said.
aimee ends up at one of michelle's smoke partys and we see tran sitting impatiently and bored if not kinda squirmy in a arm chair. aimee walks past with that guy steve and he has a hand on her back. they go into a room and i think they make out and steve puts back on his shirt and offers aimee cigs and another beer or water while she lies there under the covers.
when steve walks out the room..tran is passing by the door right at the moment and steve says whats up tran and he sees her lying there
the door closes and the end.
before that..aimee finds her mom crying in the middle of the night and tries to say something to her but is quickly dismissed. I think it had something to do with her mom dating again and she called her a whore when she saw her mom getting ready to go out on a date.
Well, there's alot of nothing going on which is interspersed with silence. It gets a bit bland from there, but the dullness does get interrupted with some quiet emptiness and vapid blankness. The ending sums up the nothingness with even more nothing and ties up no loose ends since there wasn't a thread of a story to begin with.
I napped, I yawned, I daydreamed of more exciting times when I spent happy hours twiddling my thumbs and playing solitaire.
You should write a thank you note to the maker of that fire alarm.
