The Ending... Did they forget to film it?? (Spoilers)

Ummm... Ok. The entire movie she is looking for a CEO, an older man to make her investors happy. Robert D's character is an ex VP who used to run a business in the same building, for 40 yrs. He understands her and listens to her, giving her the needed support and balance. The ending I think most people should of seen coming and the ending that would of gave the viewers a bigger smile didn't happen... Robert was the obvious hire to be CEO! At the end, she should have built his old step up office where it use to be and tell him that she wanted to make him CEO or partner. Instead we get her running up to him in a park, you think she is going to say "I slept on it, I don't want the San Francisco guy... I want you!", but we're given nothing. It ends with her character being in the same spot she was in the beginning. She could of even said "I want to be CEO but I want you to be my COO" ... Ugh, I'm so annoyed. At the half way mark of the movie I couldn't wait to see how she was going to present him with the CEO offer and it never happens. :(

I completely agree!!! It would have been predictable (I was sure this was going to happen too!) but it would have made total sense and been pleasing for us viwers.I was disappointed

Wow! I love your ending, that would have been so perfect. I felt the same way you guys did.... Like what the heck...

So, we didn't get a Hollywood cookie cutter ending.

To me, this is a GOOD thing.

Perhaps, but since it was exactly a cookie cutter movie I can't help but feeling gipped.

Cool.

Not getting a cookie-cutter ending is only a good thing if you get a surprise ending instead... rather than simply a non-event.

I never would've seen that coming, but it's probably because I've worked with numerous people who have retired just to come back as contractors and the last thing they want is more responsibility. I don't think Deniro's character would've been interested in being a CEO and it would have conflicted with his semi-retired lifestyle.

When Ben wasn't at work and no one knew where he was, I thought we were going to find out that he was dead - that would have been an ending albeit a sad one - but he would have dramatically improved the lives of everyone he came in contact with and thus giving him a chance to exit this world and be with his departed wife.

But I like you ending also. I was really enjoying this movie until the last 1 minute - the ending just plain sucked.

Exactly! I was thinking that this or the OP's idea would happen... and then the credits roll. I was going, "Huh?"

That's exactly right. She doesn't realize he should be CEO... until right as the her visit to Ben's house ends. Like the idea of a small wrap up.

Favorite movie of 2015.

The whole point was the investors wanted someone more experienced in a CEO role to run the company, not Jules. Ben has ZERO experience as a CEO, same as Jules. There is no way the investors would have OK-ed his hiring.

Making him CEO would have been cheesy, insulting, and just flat-out dumb and illogical.

He may not have been a CEO before but he did have many years of experience at the top levels of a big company. Its very rare someone is CEO twice. Even if she didn't make him CEO but she could have placated the board with him in a senior advisor capacity.

Christ Im glad I shut it off half way through. I was thinking that he would end up owning the building itself and she had been paying rent to him the whole time.

Kind of reminiscent of Great Expectations. Eh maybe thats a bad analogy but Im happy I didn't waste any more time with that crapfest
