The ending ruined a wonderful Movie!


The characters in the Movie were so cute and funny and exciting together. And would have easily have become one of my favorite romantic Movies if not for the ending which ruined all the romance in the Movie.....I still love the film, but i prefer pretending like the ending didnt happen :P

Exactly. To me the truest kinds of romance are the ones that are also tragic. I loved the ending, it made a great movie excellent.


You heart me? What is that? Is that like I love you for pussies?

What the heck was wrong with the ending? Did you really want the movie to end happily ever after where these two kids run away together to some exotic location and everything works out perfect? Get real.

For me, it was quite the opposite. The ending finally explain the lack of real chemistry between them (perhaps the dreadful Hungarian dub was responsible for that, but still). Besides, while cute lesbian fluff is... cute, it doesn't make for much of a story without any sort of drama or difficulties to overcome. I remember thinking at the start of the movie that it was pretty unimpressive, but eventually I started to realize the story was actually pretty interesting. For a while I'd been thinking that this would be some kind of "Tamsin is actually a dream/hallucination/figment of Mona's imagination", but Phil talking to Tamsin crossed that theory out, and I was pretty thankful for that - and an interesting ending.

If you just want a cute lesbian love story or two, I recommend:

*beep* Åmål
The Truth About Jane
Imagine Me & You
Room in Rome
Elena Undone

This, on the other hand, is a slightly different genre. Perhaps feels like a bit of a bait & switch if you were looking for the likes of the above, but oh well.
