I wish things ended better for Naomi Watts's character
I mean, yes, she was awfully disrespectful to her mother (although let's face it, it's not like she was wrong), but she didn't deserve for every single aspect of her life to be such a shambles.
What exactly did she do to deserve anything better?
She is a terrible wife who has the nerve to get angry at her husband for not being able to have an affair, as well as being angry at him for not wanting to have a child when they are having serious relationship problems. She throws herself at her boss, even after she finds out that he's happily involved with her good friend. Then she yells at her mother for refusing to finance an extremely risky business venture after she quits her job, simply because she's resentful that her boss doesn't want her. Her character had no redeeming qualities at all.

You did just fine, Clarence. Now go git yo'self some hot cornbread!
What redeeming qualities did her husband have? How on earth does he "deserve" a hot young gf?
Oh, I agree. Her husband was just as bad. Neither of them deserved a happy ending. But just because her husband was a tool doesn't change the fact that she was a total b-tch and completely unlikeable as well.

Neither of them deserved a happy ending.I agree and not too many of the characters actually end up with a happy ending in this film, which says something about the way they were drawn and perhaps what Woody Allen wanted to say about placing your trust in illusions and false hope.🐭 share
The husband's going to get his, but just a little later. The friend will wake up and out him for being a thief. No money, no fame, no job, no girlfriend, no place to live.
