Hastened ending.

I can totally go in to details, but right now I feel they're too obvious...

Yeah, 80 minutes is a pretty short movie, I was hoping for a little more resolution at the end.

There is a lot of footage that was cut, likely to keep the movie at a steady pace. Case in point: Three 2-Diamond awards are handed out in the screenplay, and if you notice three awards are shown before the presentation begins. There were three categories: Large Agency, Mid-Size Agency and Small Agency...Brownstar was the small agency winner and the only one that made theatrical release. All winners made speeches during filming but only Tim's made it to screen. Personally, adding that footage would have slowed things considerably.

I agree with cutting out all the winners of the 2-Diamond award. That would have been pointless to the plot and serve no story purpose whatsoever.

But I was surprised when it FADED TO BLACK on the plane. I was expecting more. They do give you a bit more in the end credits but I thought they could have gone further with it, so yes, too short.
