This movie proved a sleeper. It was mostly surreal and moved in a very predictable pace. Dennis Leary showed he could be subtle fun similar to Chevy Chase. In truth, this movie lacks a lot of emotional high wire madness. There is no promise made that it would. Elizabeth Hurley is a foil to Leary's dry humor. Together it is very dry. However, I've seen a lot worse and this movie is far from any of those. As for the opened ending, well, last nite I rented "40 Year Old Virgin" and that moviegoers is the worst ending I have ever seen in spite of a hilarious experience. "Dawg" ends where it should. The only loose end is Hurley trying to get Leary now to "forgive her" and he isn't biting. She played the b***h in the end as if their souls "traded places". So, IMHO there is your ending and nothing more matters. It is still a laugh if you just leave your hangups on the coat hook and hangout with Dennis and a script that could have been much more. It isn't a classic, and the language will prove not to be seen on regular TV networks, yet. Dennis improved his performance in "The Thomas Crown Affair", so look at this movie in a similar light without a higher level of supporting character actors.
