Yea, I agree that the ending was probably the worst part of Boiler Room. What really impressed me about the film was the dialogue between Ribisi, Diesel, and the other characters (forgot the actors name). I enjoy it when a writer knows how people talk in real life and the writer of Boiler Room seems to really get it. Also, the Affleck speech scenes rivaled Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross. And the Interacial relationship was nicely underplayed and handled very well. I dunno, i can go on and on...the scenes where Ribisi is selling stocks to the poor schlub are great. The one scene where he guides the NYTimes salesman on the phone is great. When they are all repeating dialogue from "Wall Street". Its those types of scenes with great dialogue rather than the overall plot that made the movie for me.
Yea that line made me laugh the most. That and Rudd: "You know I don't have ugly friends". There might have been one other time I laughed in that movie after those two scenes. Even Chapelle got annoying very quickly.
