What is with that crab??

Yeah, tell me about it. I didn't get how it survived, even. I mean, I could be wrong, but I thought crabs had to be near water. And I'm kind of surprised nobody freaked out and killed/cooked it when it was sitting in the kitchen at the department store towards the end.

The crab was cute, but a bit pointless. Just like the earrings and the angel dude who appeared in the first scene and was never seen again.

well it's an "enchanted" crab

This is heavy, Doc.

I think its her mom.

I agree with the idea that the crab is kind of a "reincarnated" spirit. This movie wasn't meant to be a Oscar winner people, it was meant to be cute.

And for everyone who says the "Angel" dude (I think is name is Gene O'Reily) only appears once:

He also appears as the cab driver who drops Tom and Chris off at The Southern Cross instead of Chanterelle and he is also the big band conductor at the end of the movie when Tom and Amanda are floating.

All in all this isn't the best movie ever made but it is sweet and kind of endearing.

yeah, i definitely think that the crab is her mom. my friend totally disagrees with me though. she's one of those people that have to have EVERYTHING spelled out for them in black and white, or she doesn't understand/believe it. :/
the first time i saw this movie i made a comment about how i bet the crab is her mom, and my friend just looked at me like i was insane and disagrees with me and justifies herself by saying "it NEVER says that the crab is her mom in this movie. that's stupid. it's not her mom. why would you even assume that?"
grr. stupid people.
