@shannylm I think the key term here is 'loosely-based'. The film is loosely-based on the books and therefore the director and/or screenwriter has taken a few liberties with the narrative. They no doubt saw the original ending as incompatible to the sort of film they were making, and so opted for a more traditional rom-com conclusion. I agree that the book's ending isn't nearly as emotionally-fulfilling as the film, but it is slightly more credible :).

@ahaitsprincessalice Brian cocks up the University Challenge match, goes away shame-faced and hated by the rest of team (except Lucy) as well as their supporters, and then decidedly leaves the university. Rebecca calls him up after and they go travelling together for a while. He concludes everything whilst composing an apologetic letter to Alice, until Rebecca comes back from swimming and then they go off to shower together. A slightly less obvious rom-com ending, I'm sure you'll agree...:D.

I LOVE this movie.

[pressgangers]

This is on the TV right now and i thought it looked like Greenwich

I pass it every day and so the architecture does pop into my head when the film was on

This was filmed at my University, Greenwich in London. I was an extra dressed in crap 80's clothes, i am in the last shot..and Mcavoy is a jumped up little diva cockhead, only going by what i witnessed, sorry if your a fan.

I Fink This Is 1 Of The Best Endings To A Film That Ive Seen :)

I CBA To Read The Book

Or Go Out & Buy It

So What Happens At The End Of The Book??

[shannylm]

yeh this ending is much better then the book. The book was funny in parts but i ended up hating it because of the way it ended and how depressing brian was.
