Any "Crazy Cat Gentlemen" out there?

Sadly, a number of films of that same ilk are underappreciated, but I agree - it's an extraordinary vehicle.  I wonder - had the alternate ending been utilised, instead of that in the original film - if it might have had more critical acclaim?  Yes - I realise that would have been pandering.  Not Peter Weir's gig at all.  Ah well, as Life has ever been - plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

I didn't know there was an alternate ending.  I've searched for it, and did find one that was somewhat abbreviated, as well as a truly ridiculous mash-up that stole scenes from The Cable Guy.

I don't think the problem was lack of critical acclaim - most critics loved the film - as it was with people who either refused to see it, because they dismissed Carrey as a one-dimensional buffoon, or people who loved him *because* they saw him in that light, and were disappointed when they didn't get another helping of Dumb and Dumber.
