Yep. I saw that movie some months ago. I totally loved the end of it, where that mean bitch tells the dude that his girlfreind didn’t really love the father of her baby….. and basically he was the father, and he had gone through all that stuff for nothing.
Great way to show that love doesn’t count if the other one doesn’t love you back. No matter what you do, it’s of no importance.
Sad, eh?
