It wasn't at all effective, and just because it was unpredictable doesn't mean it was good. For the schizophrenic gimmick to actually work, it has to make sense within the context of the movie as a whole, not just get stuck on the end of the movie.

i agree completely (although, after watching the DVD making-of bit, it seems the ending was always planned - but that they chopped away the pieces in the film that might have suggested it, which i think was a big mistake.
BTW, i loved Jorgen's Perfect Human and the 5 Obstructions is one of my absolute favorite films.
