It’s a fist pump of a scene, so powerful because it’s so necessary. For most of the movie, Julianne has been behaving absolutely atrociously with very little fallout. Finally, she has to deal with the consequences of her actions. Not to mention the fact that the put-down “two-faced, big-haired food critic” – said with such savage Diaz delivery – is so perfectly petty it is immensely satisfying.

But, according to a new interview with the cast for Entertainment Weekly’s romantic comedy special, that scene almost didn’t make it into the movie.

When the movie was first played to test audiences, it faced criticism on account of its overly-positive conclusion. In the original ending, Julianne found love with another wedding guest played by John Corbett. (Sex and the City’s Aidan himself.) And that bathroom scene was a lot shorter, featuring no confrontation between Kimmy and Julianne and, instead, Kimmy forgiving Julianne almost immediately.

This alternate My Best Friend’s Wedding ending would have changed everything
