Possible Spoilers!!!

Ok so did anyone see the directors cut ending? I saw it today... its really hard for me to pick which one i like more. I think the directors cut is sweet because it is controversial but I think the theater ending is great too because he had to live his life without her and sometimes death would be a lot easier then living without your soul mate. So I dont know for sure which one I liked more. Any thoghts from you guys?

Directors cut was better IMO, because the mom mentions two stillbirths before him which leads you to believe that the same thing happened to them.

I liked the theatrical a lot better only because it ends "theatrically". The director's cut was an awesome idea but that last shot of amy smart smiling cutting to the ending credits was cheesy making everyone in the room say WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! I guess it was just poorly edited.

Why? It fits the story, without Kutcher alive she has a better life, it makes since.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened. She has always had the child she just never remembers him, because he always does the same thing in the end to make everyone else turn out okay. That's why if you listen she says TWO when she is talking to him after the gypsy lady and then at the end of the film she says THREE still births. Meaning she is speaking to yet another child.

My Opinion Anyways,
