Did the ending remind anyone else of 'Mean Girls'?


The end, when Jake and Ryan give each other that 'nod'. It reminded me a lot of the ending of 'Mean Girls' where Cady and Regina give each other that respectful nod. Finally, girl world is at peace.

Yea that was the part that really bothered me. I understand that after you fight someone you gain respect for one another but theres no way the bully kid would be cool with just getting his ass whooped after being so egotistical throughout the entire movie. The whole movie he thrives on being a bully, beating up people in front of crowds, he cares about what everyone thinks and when he gets embarassed the most he all the sudden lets something like that slide because he now respects the guy that just beat his ass AND took his girl.

How could Jake nod in acknowledgement to the guy who was beating him and his best friend up all the time it sounds to strange for me.
