I loved the ending...


The movie was okay, but I absolutly LOVED the ending, did anyone else? I thought it was amazing, that they got the money, got away with it, and were set for life. They know how to spend it and not to invest! haha, hopefully they'll be smart.

I liked it. I don't necessarily agree with it (but that's what movies are for) but it was a fun ending.

No, it was the dumbest ending. It needed some kind of twist about how the money ended up there at the bar. To just have Keaton's character show them the cash was just amateurish writing. But what more could we expect after such a poor job overall?

well, ive always loved the ending to this movie, it makes me smile out loud! but now that ive read your post, im now think that it would have been even better if they had maybe shot a backstory scene on how it ended up there...you know like intercut flashbacks with all of them sitting at the bar in present time with diane explaining...and THEN showing them the money! that would have been great!

I'm pretty sure she didn't. Junior, the bartender/bar owner, was in on it. Remember how he gave them drinks on the house? And when Nina came in after an 8 month absence and said the place looked really good? Remember, Bridget (Keaton's character) was a "college educated woman", not to mention the greediest of them all. She had to hide some of the money or they would have all backed out on her. I think that perhaps because you didn't like the movie you may have missed some of the subtle things that would have given you a clue.

Yes, me too. I feel good just imagining something like this could happen.

Well, feast your eyes on the events that inspired this and another film as well:
