I liked all but the ending. I would have preferred a bit of realism, funny payback if you will. Perhaps they should have had an American carrying a budweiser look-a-like walk up to him an punch him in the face while they were sitting at the bar. Then the husband could have offered him a Schweppes, and after he took a slug, an overwhelming sense of kindness could have come over him to help the other guy off the floor.
