Chris Messina and Abigail Spencer are magicians able to perform a stupendous feat by giving The Sweet Life depth not destruction. The inability to solve their individual sorrows dissolves with joint mobility westward; the Golden Gate Bridge where they will jump together. Of course the acting ability of Messina and Spenser is the sole reason this absurd plot works. Without their visible connection, especially in the hotel, there would be no film. He cuts her hair so carefully. Their intimacy is their cure. They will be together on this earth for sure.
Having lived in the Bay Area I can say that young people we knew did jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. Wonderful young people face terrible problems, and a plot like this minimizes the horrific reality of someone jumping. It is a horrible idea. One false move on that bridge, and they would be gone. I think the movie should be banned.
