Ask Me Anything Movie Ending – Of course Spoiler!

maybe Joel?

I don’t understand either… Was it just me, or did all the characters change in the end? When they showed the men and people the detectives interviewed they were played by different people then, right?!???!?

Maybe she went to go see that guy in st. Jude’s after he tried comitting suicide she told some lady on the phone to call her if he can have visitors so maybe she went over there to see him ? I don’t know the ending really made me upset

The book store owner told her ours time to make get own decisions. Maybe that’s what she did. Went off in her own, cut ties with not only all the men but everyone?

obviously she just left and cut everyone off. If you watched the movie and payed attention to everything that was going on you would realize she didn’t leave because of the call. She left because if she didn’t leave life was going to go on without her. She said she needed to start over so, obviously she left and started a whole new life. This movie has a lot of meaning and I’m glad I was able to understand.

So I just watched this movie for the first time. Although I liked the movie, the ending confused me. I know in the blog she changed certain details about everyone including herself. When it shows her real mother talking about what happened and showing all of the real people I noticed that Mark, her stepfather’s character, still looks the same.

what if she faked her missing story posing as her mom, so she could finally stop blogging.

my thoughts… she was finally getting herself in a good place. The job that made her the happiest was the bookstore. She had that back. She finally made a male connection that did not require sex, but in turn actual affection and caring. She finally had some hope. She was smiling in her bath… almost as though she was finally “clean”. I think that last call was another booty call. She knew at that point nothing would change. It was time for her to make her own decisions. That involved her racing away… and whether she was dead (by her… Read more »

I find the ending brilliant! Everyone knows what it’s like reading a story! That’s what is happening all this time while watching the movie up to the end. In the end we find out that we are just another one of her blog readers who have imagined how her life is due to her blog! The reason we don’t know what happened to her is because this movie isn’t like the others showing you everything you want to know, its leaving you hanging because anyone who was reading her blog has no idea what happened to her because she stopped… Read more »

I think that one of the guys killed her. Maybe she did tell them about the pregnancy and they felt threatened. Anyone could have lied to the PI.

Just watched movie. I think it sets up very well for a sequel. Perhaps she just went off on her own and had the child. She seemed alone and had that feeling of loneliness I don’t think she is dead. I do hope there is a sequel to explain what happened to her or where she ended up.

In my opinion, the ending – and more or less the entire movie – emphasizes the dangers of posting your life online. Now, I’m aware of the fact that she used a different name but in actuality, nothing is private. I think one of her readers who was very angry at her decisions, maybe a loner who read her blog and got angry about her promiscuous behavior somehow found her and swayed her into coming with him. Another hunch is that it could’ve been the man that touched her when she was little, seeing as to how she had recently… Read more »

This movie was shit. Well, let me rephrase that. This movie ending was shit. I’m so pissed off at this ending. How could the plot just fucking swerve into the fucking abyss. There were so many endings that would have been so much better than that. Tbh i wanted her to have the baby, live with the book store owner and see him as a fatherly figure after some time. Would have been so much better than her running away or being kidnapped or whatever the fuck happened to her. This movie wasn’t meant to have a cliff hanger… fuck… Read more »

I enjoyed the movie as well and the ending caused me to rethink everything that came beforehand. I have two theories about the ending; one is a ‘who done it’ explanation, the second, more circuitous, is my preferred interpretation (and, I believe, supported by evidence that was intentional on the the part of the author). First off, the ending annoyed many critics and viewers, along with large number of those who read the source novel, ‘Undiscovered Gyrl’ – the author of which also wrote and directed this movie. (BTW, though typically a female name, Allison Burnett is actually a man.)… Read more »

because it was years later so they were older

what i don’t understand is that we saw her boss say that he would take care of the baby if she wanted him to and then at the end it says he never did say that, but we literally saw him say it…?

i think she is alive, other wise how could you explain the little boy on the playing field. it could have been like a flash forward.

I think she had a mental disorder. Many people not only said those things didn’t happen, but that they didn’t know her AT ALL. Her parents said it was unlike her and that she wasn’t just out running around constantly. There is no baby. There is no old man at the bookstore. She made it up for attention, again because she has psychological issues. The only thing I think could be real is when she remembers she was sexually abused. But who really knows eh. Wish I did.

The last thing she talked about was do people really envision a whole new life for themselves and really live it out, or do they just fall back into the same behavior? (I’m aware that’s not verbatim, but that was the jist). So it is my understanding that she envisioned a new life for herself and carried it out, or tried to anyway. I believe it’s up to our own opinions of her character as to what lifestyle that may be.

Maybe I’m just morbid or maybe I’ve been through too much too fast but what I thought the ending was saying was that she was so dumb and nieve as she was for most of the movie that she had a sex offender convince her to move in with him…her last thought was to go move in with him and start her adult life maybe that phone call was to him to let him know she made her desition…and just like this world can be cruel, he ended up killing her? I mean let’s face it, even though it’s a… Read more »

Yes his name is Allison, get over it.

I never would have guessed it was a man either w that name

Someone below said “I want a happy ending” – not sure if you will get that but the sequel to Undiscovered Gyrl is called Another Girl (a novella available on Amazon).

I have a theory. What if the main character is actually the mother? I haven’t put much thought into this theory, but it can very well be that the mother is writing a blog on her younger years or ever since her younger years, and that she never stopped writing her blog.

I don’t think the actors are different though… they just look older. More “realistic” (to say the least) because of the more defined wrinkles, eye bags, etc. Less like a movie and more like reality. Before the whole mother reporting her missing thing, that’s the real movie. We are seeing things through the girl’s blog. After the mother reporting everything, that’s where everything is real.

Spoiler Alert. This film is transformed by its transcendent ending, a brilliant “coda” which forces us to reconsider everything that has come before. I think the key to understanding the ending lies in Katie/Amy’s rhetorical question at the supposed ‘end’ of her blog: “Do human beings ever dream a whole new life, and make it come true, or do they always go back to the way they were?” As other writers here have previously suggested, the “coda” is in fact Katie/Amy’s answer to her own question. It is her actual last blog entry, written not by her mother, but by… Read more »

Katie is actually the mother telling her own story. The entire story is based on the Katie’s mother’s early years. Katie/Amy is actually the baby whom she was pregnant with when she decided to change her life. The blog is the mother’s version of therapy where she tells her own story of her adolescence. When Katie/Amy disappears that is where her new life begins and the mother reveals her true identity at that point but doesn’t want the audience to know and reveals the credits of her life by introducing the true identities of the people she was blogging about.… Read more »

so I only just watched this film tonight and there are a few things i’m confused about with this ending am i the only person who picked up on the fact that the last messages she sent saying “i need to talk to you” was sent to Joel..? maybe she was hoping he would be able to knock some sense into her as he didn’t shy away from telling her how he felt..? also she said she changed everyone’s name, but when her “mum” was telling us about each of the guys, she still referred to Dan as Dan but… Read more »

My feeling is that, if she had an abortion, eventually a record would surface; thus, we, the observers, would achieve a stronger, more realistic ability to know if she is, or is not, alive. With no indication whatsoever of such a record, we, the observers, can be left with the possible feeling that she lived through the pregnancy and delivered the baby — with the lives of TWO human beings now providing “footprints,” yet to be uncovered. OR, we, the observers, can be left with the more likely feeling that her own footprint, including a very early — as opposed… Read more »

I just figured it out… omg
Remember when she wrote a fake letter to her doctor pretending it was her mom. Dismissing her from future appointments??? Well, I think she wrote on her OWN blog pretending to be her mom and that she was missing..when really she as the one thying that. As in, she either did it for the sake of drama for beer blog, as she claimmed she would do, OR she did it to be able to start her life over by ending her blog and ending who she was and starting over completely…

Martin sheen killed her.

They already did make a sequel though, The movie “ROOM”.

I think that she was a very depressed girl and had a very sad life. Her life might have not been that amazing in her eyes, apart from her blog. In my opinion I think she made up her life on the blog, and we watched the movie from that perspective. She changed people to how she wished it could be, and made a new image of them. And at the end when is shows the picture of her, the actor from before looked opposite to watch she actually looked like. So she presented her self how she wished she… Read more »

I think the movie is supposed to have both endings, you can either take it as a cautionary ending (something happened to her so be careful with what you do in your life. Or it could be that she ran away to start her own free life, a sort of triumph over adversity theme.

I finally saw the movie. What was the envelope she put in the mail before seeing Ms vansuo?

The ending is symbolic . She starts life anew and we see the blog version of reality.

Hi there, I’d like to discuss something. I have two theories. Either Martina was the one whom killed her seeming how she knew her blog name. And probably did some researching after the “paper” conversation. OR something I really believe to be true. I don’t see any posts about her abusive bf or ex bf. The movie sort of minimizes the abuse he contributed. And they had left off talking about it being a “decent” chance that it’s his… and her saying she would have an abortion.. after having the change of heart with the older guy… I believe she… Read more »

After the ending I just want to know if this is a true story now lol it completely through me off. The movie was great but I so didn’t expect that at the end…I personally think she got sick of everyone and wanted to start a new life so she left. But what’s odd is the call she got before she disappeared. Idk left me guessing!

Omg these comments are making me crazy!

what i don’t understand is that she has full use of the volvo until she gave up the job with the family she was working for so why did she still have the car? Why couldn’t they track the volvo or something?

If anyone pops in here ….if you like this movie and have not seen “Megan is Missing” give it a try ….the ending is wicked !

I wonder if the author really wrote the novel based on true story.

I think it’s a cautionary tale to us, the “blog reader”. I think we are developing a relationship with this character, be it love or hate. Then we find out this person is missing or hurt but her mother will be continuing the blog. The mother was catfishing us and the other readers the whole time! There is no daughter, there is no potential baby or Multiple suitors, just a lonely middle aged woman at her computer. Now she can continue to garnish attention and now sympathy on the blog as the villigant mother.

My theory is along the lines of catfishing. As horrible as it sounds, I’ve been around forums and various other places for about 17 years, and it’s happened on many occasions that people show up, lie about their identity, spin a woeful tale about their life, often going for hard-hitting and shocking stories because people don’t dare question them, then follow it all through to a car crash ending, only to issue an ultimatum and then vanish. These same people are then unable to pull away from the very real connections they’ve made in their lie and create a secondary… Read more »

This was honestly a terrible movie. All the dialogue seemed unrealistic, the characters were unrealistic. Like really, who acts like this?? And they kept taking serious subjects like cheating, rape and pregnant and putting a lighthearted “whimsical” feel to it as if those subjects aren’t serious things. And then she wanted to live with an old man that “kinda” raped someone but not int the “traditional sense”. I’m sorry but from his story I got that he point blank raped her so idk why you would even consider living let alone speaking to him afterwards. The ending was the only… Read more »

Many times in the movie it shows Katie driving past a bridge, usually after something bad has just happened to her. For those of you who don’t know that is the Colorado Street Bridge, known for being ‘the suicide bridge’. It also occurs that between Katie and Joel they both have tried committing suicide by attempting to jump off high buildings (or bridges). The ending is her way of saying goodbye to her life and what she has done with it. Her killing herself is also a solution to her baby dilemma, that way the baby won’t go on to… Read more »

Theories:
Slater’s character’s wife did it. The text was intercepted by her and she (posing as Slater’s character in a text reply) met with Katie and knocked her off because she was mad at learning of the affair and possibly learning of the pregnancy.

Either that or she also faked the end of the blog as her Mom to put an end to that part of her life and move on with a child. She already faked writing as her mom in the letter to the therapist. All the names at the end were also made up.

(2 years later) Hi! just saw the film it was AMAZING! about the ending..WTF?!! Also, as some of you guys mentioned, I believe that she just escaped reality by pretending to be her mother blogging about her missing, anyways, great movie and I enjoyed it despite the ending that made me lost and confused.

I’m not sure if anyone knows this but there is a second book called Another Girl. i just ordered both to read but the second one is a print on demand book so i have to wait for it to be printed. I’m hoping this book tells me what happened to her because even though its not real i still need to know.

Realmente necesito leer el fucking libro!!
