I'll cut right to the chase. (SPOILER, BEWARE!). He tells her he's in love with her, adds a cute smile and some really emotional sentiments, and poof! Magic. Years of building her sexual identity, trying everything (yech, that finger cuffs story was awful, and certainly didn't need repeating), and finally defining herself as a lesbian, all vanish into thin air, just because he "get's her" and she got to this relationship "on her own terms"? I don't buy it. It's insulting. I'm straight and I was offended in the name of all gay people. Don't watch this movie if you're into to gay films. Don't watch it if you're into romance. Don't even watch it if you're into comics. Watch it only if you're into Ben Afleck, or perhaps if you're really into Rene Zellweger and you already saw all her movies. Joey Lauren Adams certainly looks and talks like her. Especially in those scenes where she mumbles at the top of her squeaky voice while sobbing on Ben's shoulder.
