Horrible ending

Yeah for the first half of the film I was sure they weren't going to take the easy way out Especially as Jason continued to e so resolute in his belief that he didn't lie Julie in THAT way.

But as the story played out and it became clear that Julie was falling in love with the idea of a more traditional family, I gave in to the eventual ending.

I don't hate that they went that route, I just wish it got there a bit more convincingly.

yeah the ending was crappy cos it was rushed, the dialouge was rubbish and as soon as they said he wanted to *beep* the *beep* out of her and they started that was it, it just ended... what an ending!





Ashmi any question

Agreed. The ending was totally forced. It happened all of the sudden like it's Jule's dream or something.

Failed in the same way THIS IS 40 did, though FRIENDS was overall better...they both seek to depict marriage, divorce and raising children in a realistic manner, then somehow tack on the traditional Hollywood ending.

The seems like the director's pet project, much like 40 was Apatow's, so I don't believe studio intervention played much of a role. It's just hard to buy what a movie is selling if the movie doesn't even believe itself.

I'm sorry, but I completely disagree. The ending to this film was absolutely necessary to demonstrate the ongoing themes and stories which were being told. The story was about the effects kids have on relationships and how those different dynamics shift with time. Whereas most of the other relationships were based on sex and passion, Julie and Jason's was based on friendship which is why it was necessary that they get together in the end.

Also, I don't think any of the scenes were forced, I think some of them had an awkwardness that was necessary to make them believable, but that was part of the story/character profiles. Also, I adore Jennifer and really think she delivered an outstanding performance.

I completely disagree as well. I hated the first part, as a matter of fact, I was sure at that point I would hate the whole movie; it looked like one of these Apatow comedies, idiotic and vulgar. I felt as if I was watching a sitcom and I was getting bored. On top of that, half of the cast was made of actors I don't like.

But then, after they got the child, the story gradually got deeper and somehow more heartfelt, culminating with two powerful scenes: the dinner in the cabin, where they all gather for the last time and their exchange gets more and more tense, and then the intimate dinner that ends in tears. These were -really- good scenes. They completely changed my perspective on the film. The beginning wasn't setting the tone, like I thought, it was only a necessary preamble for the later events.

As for the ending, I loved it, it was original and spot-on. How many movies end just when the characters are going to have sex? It was the only thing missing in their upside-down relationship to be complete at that point: the passionate sex. They already had the kid and everything else that normal movies, describing linear relationships, end with.

I have to disagree. I'm kind of in the same situation as these two (minus the baby).

Some of you are ignorant to lifelong friendships. As I've stated in a different topic I've known my fiancé for more than ten years. And that's the way we talk to each other and I find it sweet when she says she wants to "f the s outta me".

When you've had a great friend for so long you just sorta be your absolute real person you are in front of them. You speak the words you are thinking instead of trying to think up some douchey Hollywood romantic saying. These two have always talked casually about everything and I bet it was romantic for her when he said "lemme prove that I love you by f'ing the s out of you". I said "you make me so horny I'm gonna shoot you to the moon" (with my semen) when we finally got together. And she was like awwww your so sweet (and it turned her on and made the sex better).

So maybe you guys should reconsider their actual previous relationship before you judge.

I'm so glad it didn't end with some cheesy Hollywood dialogue. It felt real. At least to me who is in a similar situation.

Add me to those who think the last 5 or so minutes was awful. They had a good story going up until the last scene(s) when the inappropriate language was such a turnoff. The character couldn't do better than that?

Julie had, when she wanted to tell Jason how she felt, had a reservation at a restaurant, and when it's Jason's turn, that's what he did? Completely unimpressive rookie maneuver for a 40-year old guy.
