Best scene was Peter Weller kicking Finney's ass all over the court


the "George" character is just a horrible person. At least he got what he deserved after destroying the tennis court. If Faith took him back, she deserved more of his insanity too.

He deserved a lot more than that. I was always disappointed that he didn't kick him a few more times.

Of course she took him back. If she had any brains, she would have had him arrested after he broke into the house and assaulted their daughter.

More a tragic scene than anything else. Though Finney was an unhinged nutcase it wasn't much fun to have his daughters watch him go insane and have their mom's new boyfriend beat the hell outta him. But that was the power of the film, dissolution of family.

"Jesus, does anyone?"

He pretty much just recklessly drove into a crowd of people. Someone could have been killed (someone sitting there, drinking some of that tequila). If he didn't end up in a psychiatric facility, sent there by his soon-to-be-ex, then there is no justice in this world~

He did it on purpose.
