Unbelievably endless movie. If you could have it end after he is reunited with the other Haley Osmett kids, it would have been a much better film.
It reminded me of The Incredible Lightness of Being - also a movie that would have been better if only they have figured out that it ended when they left. Or when they returned. Or...
I hate it when movies will have an endless stream of useless plot twist at the end just to try to wring more feeling out of a film. Be content with what you got - when it ends, let it go.
And that is why Chasing Amy is an excellent film - you have to deal with the ambiguity of the ending. And there is some pain left in the characters, but they are moving on.
