Yeah, I thought that too a little bit, but there is the fact that Danny was willing to change for her too, with the jock stuff.
And since they were both willing to change, one of the sides had to win out in the end, and I'm glad that Danny's won cause, hey, it's cooler.

But yeah, the movie is kinda a little bit encouraging you to succumb to peer pressure.

danny i think you an sandy ARE SO COOL I WACH YOUR DVD SO MUCH IM TRYING TO LERN ALL THE PARTS
i no all the t bird names but the second movie is kinda wired but i love the firest on i like the summer loven song an i am a kid but i have a mager crush on DANNY! sandy is COOL LIKE DANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!im cheyanne my brith day is on the 15 DANNY SANDY RIZZO KINEKIE THE CIMPMUNK GIRL MARTY AN THE REST EMIL ME AN ILL TELL U

i didn't like it either but Danny tried to change for her but that didn't work so she changed for him and it seemed to work.

it SUCKED! i mean, whats suposed to be the moral of this movie? don't be different? you have to cool? i like the movie, but it'd be a better ending if danny became like her, or none of them changet

Yeah, the ending could have been better.

I agree with martemora15. None of them should have changed. Plus, did Sandy have to smoke at the end? I mean, the makeover wasn't enough?

Believe it or not, the movie was CRITICISED for having the character of Sandy CHANGE to impress Danny when it was clear Danny was willing to accept Sandy for who and what she was. Certainly not the right message to give out to impressionable young girls.

I think they both made changes to show they loved each other and were willing to change...
the only thing that gets me is the smoking.. but back then it was highly publicised as 'cool' to smoke.... so...
overall, i liked the ending. lol ♥ :)

I agree with all of you.
Personally, the very ending really did let me down a bit. And i am not talking about the Makover. I am talking about the Flying Car. I mean Really? That bit made it extra Cheesy. But on the subject, i do agree with you. But hey, if thats the way Sandy wanted to go, then well thats her way to go. Lol. But i think they could have toned it down a bit. :)

I think its the best "love story" ever and Im sure all of us can put ourself's in that situation........

A lot of people over analyze the ending. Sandy probably didn't change permanently first of all. Second of all Danny became a jock in order to impress her. And Sandy didn't change her personality at the end, she just did that to try and win danny back.

Chances are the next day she went back to her usual self.

I read somewhere that the main reason for the change was just for the "you're the one that I want song"

Because people wouldn't take her seriously if she wore things that she had worn previously.

Besides it's a musical, and there's a lot of suspension of disbelief. I mean a flying car!

You can't over analyze the ending! A lot of people change who they are for their significant others/

And Sandy really onlyt changed her appearance.
