To me, the ending of the film embodies the question "what now?" and in this sense, i think the ending ultimately evokes a dismal and rather sad outlook on life's prospects.

I thought she was lying but now I know it's just genetic. So if you were the one who didn't like how the movie ended...just wait a few weeks. It'll be gone and you can enjoy the fuzzy blank space where the ending used to be. When I was growing up, I would always ask your grandmother how a movie ended and she would claim not to remember.

The premise is good and involves "The Graduate". You also might want to watch “Rumor Has It” with Jennifer Anniston and Kevin Costner, especially if you like those actors’ work.
