As soon as they set it up the bet I thought surely there is going to be another twist, but it is such a lazy ending when they get the right amount of points required. Kind of spoiled the movie for me, it felt cheesy and more like a lifetime movie.
shareIt's a feel-good movie. Unlike the Hemmingway book Pat read in the beginning and got upset about :).
Is that really such a bad thing? Why do you feel your experience got spoiled by that?
I just thought it was a bit cheesy and predictable. The last 20 minutes I was thinking 'surely not it's going to end like that'. It felt like it was added on to make people feel good rather than being a part of the whole story or fitting in to the overall film. Like they needed a good way to end it with, if that makes sense.
shareRead the book . Its completely different than movie , not predictable and much much better .

It would have been better if they had danced a little better and made the required score more comfortably. But hey, at the end everyone is happy. Easy happy ending of a decent film.
shareThe ending is the one thing that makes this movie fall short of greatness. It's a typical chick flick ending, and lacked the edge the movie started out with. The ending to the book was a little different and more ambiguous.

What would you have preferred to see? The pair of them losing the competition? That might have been less 'predictable', but would it have been a GREAT ending? Sometimes 'predictable' is the way to a satisfying conclusion to a story.
shareWhile I would agree partially with you, there are so few happy ending movies that are truly realistic about mental illness; So it gets a pass for me.
And the first half of this movie is a classic in perfection on the humor and drama. There are numerous parts that are very realistic and sad that make the viewer laugh. And that is a mission success.
I disliked this movie and hated Jennifer Lawrence so much, that I really hoped Cooper would get back with his wife. Instead you have "poor" Jennifer all soaked in the rain like the cat in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
I tried to like the movie, but after the "betting" scene, I realised it was a joke. None of the characters convey the idea of real mental illness (hey, this is a COMEDY after all!!). None of the interpretations are barely realistic as far as mental illness goes, so you have to decide whether to get angry or laugh because the movie is so bad it's involuntarily funny.
That Breakfast at Tiffany's might have been expected, the character is named Tiffany! I enjoyed it...

I saw the ending coming and I didn't mind, it's not the predictability that ruined it but the way it was played for dramatization's sake. Of course, Tiffany had to think Pat was gonna declare his love to Nikki so she would leave the ballroom and he would go get her back... that's the predictable stuff, all Pat had to do before meeting Nikki was to tell Tiffany that he got over Nikki, he had just one last thing to tell her and she had to wait for him because he's got something special to tell her.
