I watched 10 Items or Less last night and enjoyedit but didn't care for the ending that much. I didn't like that she was far from home, had no home or job, etc. Yes she had a better attitude about herself and she was strong before and after but. . . she was all in her head and that doesn't get you a job or place to stay. She had her car but who was paying for all that gas? It was a good 3+ hours drive, afternoon to night, probably at least 150-200 miles? He bought her clothes with the Diner's Club card in Target and car wash, food, etc.
I didn't want them to have more of a relationship, liked that Morgan had a wife and kids he loved. The whole pact thing at the end just made it all seem strange rather than "natural". I would have had her give a clue that she was going to a friend's, cousins, somewhere or that she'd been to that city before where he lived and knew someone or somewhere to go, etc.
I kept feeling a discrepancy between Morgan's not working for 4 years and his "wealth" and having agents and a nice house and able to support wife and kids, etc. His $100 teeshirt in Target and worries about not working and nobody noticing if he disappeared didn't quite jive for me. And I didn't get the movie reference where he was in dressed as a female? Was that a spoof on Tootsie and Dustin Hoffman or Robin Williams and Mrs. Doubtfire?
