The ending was completely predictable... If you can't guess how the movie will end after watching the first ten minutes or so, you just aren't trying. Even though you generally know what's going to happen, the craftmanship with which the characters are portrayed makes it certain that your joy is never diminished.
I had the giggles for half an hour. See this movie!

- Quotes
Poinsettia: How is he?
Mrs. Muldroone: I am sorry, Poinsettia, but he is just not fighting back. Listen to me, Poinsettia, the awful truth is... I miss Mr Mulddrone so badly I can hardly bear it. So for your own sake; you have got to save Fish! You must! Otherwise you'll end up like me with a selfish weed for a companion.
Poinsettia: Well, that'll never happen to me. I'd die first.
Mrs. Muldroone: The trouble is, Poinsettia, we do not die when we want to.
