Why does Jack propose to Lucy so fast?
Okay I love this movie and I love Jack and Lucy together, but as I’ve gotten older the ending has started to seem a little odd…I mean Jack PROPOSES after they’ve known each other, what, a week? And they haven’t even been on a single date. And earlier in the movie when Jack thinks Lucy and Peter got engaged after 3 months of dating, he remarks “That’s quick.” So it’s totally ironic that later he proposes after a week of knowing her. It would make a lot more sense if Jack had just asked Lucy out after finding out she wasn’t engaged. But I guess there’s probably no explanation for this other than it’s a chick flick and it’s supposed to have a romantic ending, and I guess Jack asking Lucy to dinner is not as dramatic as him proposing. And they probably also wanted it to end with Lucy not being alone anymore. But Jack could’ve asked her out and then maybe the movie could’ve skipped ahead in time to them getting married or something……still a great movie.
