Ending Was Terrible

I really liked this movie until the ending. Nadine's apology to her brother was was too convenient, the text message from the mom rang false, and the movie ground to a halt when she went to see Erwin's movie. Worst of all was the last scene where she made all the new friends with Erwin. I really wanted this movie to continue to break typically Hollywood conventions like it was doing throughout the movie, but the ending was really drawn out and "made for TV movie" predictable.

I wouldn't say it was terrible, but in the overall narrative it seemed a little inorganic and unlike what the protagonist would have done. Before the last 15 minutes, it was splendid.
Would personally give it a 7.5. Especially because I could easily relate most of the things the film tried to touch upon. And most importantly, it was very entertaining.

"Terrible" is too strong, but it was a bit of a letdown after the rest of the movie was so strong. I have seen other people say they didn't like the beginning but loved how it ended! So I find it refreshing to see this post.
