I saw that gag a few years earlier, in a movie called "Young Doctors In Love" - Michael McKean is walking alone and dejected, and the credits start to come up under his feet and he whispers "No no, not yet!" and motions them back down.

Well. He was actually good, of course, as a blind dwarf. The movie overall was terribly terribly dull. We left about 15 minutes before the end, and I realized in the car on the way home that if we'd stayed around, we probably would have seen his sight magically restored…it was that kind of bad: predictable and trite…

I just saw it and I'm not exaggerating or being funny when I say her performance was the least dreadful thing about this. She was ok, and the rest was really awful. Really.
