It may or may not be a good movie, and I don't need a sappy happy ending for a movie to be good. but I really don't see how commiting suicide to "help" others makes any sense. Suicide should never be?portrayed as romantic in?any sense. For a?physically healthy person to commit suicide is an ugly self indulgent act. I have not seen the movie and probably won't.??Those who have lived thru a suicide by a family member would strongly disagree with you. But go enjoy the?helping act. To make this dog related, my little boy Luke who has come back to me because the 12 yr old decided she was tired of him after a month, is the cutest sweetest?thug who at 4 1/2?months old thinks he is the king of any mountain. Just ask him! Pam?

Not every movie has to have some sappy happy ending to be good.
