The movie and story started well and in fact was enjoyable throughout.
One problem with so-called 'chick flicks' is they try too hard to end it like a fairy tale...which negates trying to build the characters at the beginning. No story in real life ends happily ever after in all ways...trying to close off all loops in the nicest possible way leaves a sour taste for me because I feel cheated that I bought into the story for so long...
I'd still recommend this movie though, as I found it enjoyable for the most part...just not the ending few minutes.
It's a shame really because the first hour was great and I started to care about the characters...but by the time I walked out of the cinema, there was a mild annoyance of even bothering to care...
Overall, this is a solid 6.5
