The last scene was a big congratulation on time wasted. Essentially, nothing in this movie ever happened. You might as well just not see it.

Shortcut to Happiness is a terrible mess from start to finish. It had a very troubled production history which saw it shelved for years, disowned by its director and leading actor, and not even released on home video in North America. It's a sight to behold. None of it works, but it's all so bad that it's actually kind of enjoyable because it's funny. Nobody talks about Shortcut to Happiness because nobody saw it, but it deserves to rank up there in the list of worst movies.

Why was $35,000,000 spent on this film? Why was there such an excessive use of slow motion footage? Why was Jennifer Love Hewitt's appearance so short? Why was this film ever made?
