What's the point..

By the end of the film are we actually supposed to feel bad for Nikki?? He finally starts to get a dose of his own medicine even so far as to be labled the grocery boy by the girl he was with. It just seemed rather ridiculous to try to all of a sudden make him sympathetic and try to have us feel for him. Nikki was a jerk from the beginning, till the end, period. He was a user, a deadbeat, and just like anyone else like that, his looks will go away with time and he will be left with nothing. But I guess he ends up staying in L.A. anyway, it would have been much better to see him get randomly attacked and beaten down in an alley somewhere, that would have been far more entertaining. I can see why this film didn't do well, it's boring, slow, and most of all, no one wants to see Ashton Kutcher like this. I didn't by it, it just didn't fit for him.
