It was nice to see a little what happened after everything but otherwise nothing special.
"She was swept away by a storm off women"?! I'm definitely not a suckered for those happy endings where the heroine is prepared for the wedding by her female friends and the hero (I know Warner wouldn't consider himself a hero) is  preparing with his male friends and then they move into a house. I get that they want to have peace and be together but still... I felt like Juliette was depicted less powerful and more playful than I would have expected her to be, even that now is her first chance to be it. It felt cliché.
