Clooney and Kendrick are awesome but what's up with that final act?

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2010)

While I don't believe this movie should win best picture at this years Oscars (and neither should Avatar), I have to say this was a very well done movie.
George Clooney is brilliant in his performance. While some say he's that "cool guy" in every movie, he seems to be able to mold a character on to his personality very well.
Supporting actress Anna Kendrick shines bright in this movie, she does an amazing job in her role as Ryan's sidekick. This girl is gonna go places.
Jason Reitman does a fine job with his directing, it was fluid and clear between scenes.
My only gripe is the final act, it suddenly became a "romantic comedy" ending and while it was done well, I was expecting a somewhat different outcome or a different way in handling the ending.
