What’s the biggest cop-out of a happy ending you’ve seen in a movie?

For me, it’s Driving Miss Daisy. When I watched it, it really seemed like it would be about the inevitability of losing a parent. But just when Jessica Tandy’s character is at death’s door in the nursing home, the movie chickens out and ends and pretends like Miss Daisy still has many happy years of life ahead of her. When the credits rolled, I almost shouted at the screen “What about the memorial service?!”

I loved the ending. We know she is going to die. We love seeing the deep bond of friendship between Hoak and Daisy. That is the point.

Grease. Danny and Sandy flying off in their car was way too Chitty Chitty Bang Bang corny.

Grease went off the rails when Sandy dressed up like a ho and Danny tore off his letter jacket to go back to being a hoodlum.

Witness - they both went their separate ways instead of living happy ever after together

Oh yes, that never made sense! The rest of the movie wasn’t “magical”

My Best Friend's Wedding-- Kimmy dropping out of college and giving up any sort of career to follow her husband around? That'll work out in the long term for sure

Titanic. Why couldn’t they just share the float?

Not magical in the sense of Greece but they completely changed the ending of My Sister’s Keeper to, I don’t know, make it happier than the book? The ending of the book was very clever and poignant and I was so angry they changed it

Yes the change in the ending was terrible. It completely changed the whole theme of the book.

I refused to watch the movie when I learned what they did to the ending. The way the book ended was so unexpected and important to me.
