The character development was so good that you could feel Vincent's conflicted emotion as he was torn between reconciling with his classy, ultra-conservative, society, professional wife Sally or starting a new life with the casual, free-spirited, fun-loving, girl-next-door Olivia. I had incorrectly guessed that the ending would be a predictably contrived cop-out, but found instead that it wrapped up all of the story lines in a creative, yet plausible way (for the movies) without any gimmicks or redirection.
