I liked it too, I always thought it didn't really make sense but then I also thought you were supposed to draw your own conclusions, kind of a make your own adventure film you know like the books when it says take the left path- turn to page 6 or take the right path turn to page 9.
This was by long and far my favorite movie of all time . I was never confused by it but I get really into good movies to were I don't even want people talking to me while a good film is on.
The acting in this film was amazing the pre-star power was amazing I mean Ashley Tisdale, Seth Rogen, Patrick Swayze, Jake Gylenhale, Maggie Gylenhale,Noah Wiley, Drew Berrymore & the olderbrother from iCarly.
to those who didn't get it Id suggest watching the directors cut they explain things in a lot more detail in some of the deleted scenes.
Its One of My favorite movies of all tim, and it is my brothers favorite. I've seen it so many times I can repeat most of it word for word ,but it wasn't to confusing for me like a second viewing cleared up a few things for me that I think I missed the first time around .
