This movie is not what the 9-10 reviews say it is. I seriously felt like they forgot a reel of film at the end. They set it up so I expected Joe to learn that being a teacher was his true calling, given that he convinced 22 to be born after so many had failed. I thought there would be a "12 years later" scene with Joe in his classroom, posters of the drummer and trombone player as successful musicians on the wall, and a new student everyone calls "22" for some unknown reason. But nope; it just ends. No satisfying conclusion for Joe, no follow-up on 22, no reward for me for having spent my time watching to the end.
