Would anyone like to have seen Tom Hanks character slashed?

Did anyone find his character just obnoxious? He just doesn't seem to be the nice guy he's played in other films[or like he's reputed to be in real life]. When he first meets his girl jogging he trips her and never apologizes but she does. At the carnival he says things like "Give me a goober" without saying please or thank you. When he gets something at the stand, which i heard in the commentary was improvised,i heard the lady with the register reply "Thank you sir", but i heard no such politeness from Hanks. In the commentary they said this character was suppossed to be killed but they liked him too much! I also heard them say there was more footage of him at the wedding at the end. I would have liked to see him show emotion as he mourns his new girlfriend's demise.He could have shown some actingchops there! They say in the commentary how Hanks hugged the writer or director shortly before the commentary but i recall on LETTERMAN in 1986 him badmouthing this film!
