Why would Jack stick around? (spoilers)


The ending made no sense, why would Jack stick around when the baby wasn't his and she ended up marrying Darcy? Doesn't a millionaire celebrity bachelor have better things to do than hang around his one night stand that lead him to believe she was carrying his child? 

reply

Because he's a good man and bonded with them respectively

reply

Because he genuinely liked Bridget and they'd become friends.

reply

He is probably the godfather of the baby .

reply

That's exactly what I thought after the film finished, the scene just made no sense at all.

reply

I never thought Jack in reality would had stuck around for a second, never mind being there at the end.

It's that man again!!

reply

Jack was a nice guy that's why. Simple, and besides some minor tension with Mark, they bonded very well and he liked Bridgette ver much.
And as someone said, he would've been chosen as the godfather. It was a great ending.

reply

He didn't stick around, he came back for the wedding.

reply

Good answer!

reply

This makes the most sense. That and the assumption that he's the godfather. After all he went through, I think the least Bridget and Mark could do was make him the godfather.

reply

It makes no sense.

When handing the baby back to Mark, Jack said to Mark something like "I have no idea what to do with him". If he was the godfather he probably would have hanged out with the baby a bit more? Also Bridget promised to Tom that he would be the godfather.

If he wasn't the godfather, it would still be okay for him to be at the wedding. But why in the front with the baby? Shouldn't it be the baby's grandmother or someone else close to him to hold him? Someone you is used to babies and who the baby knows?

The only logical explanation is that the writers wanted the audience to be mislead. And that's a terrible reason to do something so stupid.

Wait! Does this also mean putting out doesn't get you love?

reply

He just plain wouldn't. No guy would.

reply

because they invited him to their wedding? not strange
they had become friends..
"I dont chase anyone who wont chase me back....BB"

reply

Baloney, who invites their past one night stand's to weddings, and which groom would want that. The person who wrote this does not know the male psyche...
