I know a lot won't agree with me, but I really didn't care for it. The main character's story was all right and it had kind of a happy ending as such. However, his sister and her boyfriend were such annoying characters (I'm sure that was the intent), but for me they just ruined the movie. I know this was a fan favorite, but for me I was glad when it ended...
