What about the ending pissed you off? I thought

*SPOILER ALERT*

it was the right way to end that. He spent the first three-quarters running from everything (through medication, postponing his conversation with his father, withholding information about his mother's injuries). He's all set to do it one more time at the airport, but he finally stops running. He understands that his life at home is going to be hard, but the fact that he's staying is a resolution in and of itself. If he had gone back to L.A., he would have stayed the same person he was at the beginning and the four days he spent in Jersey would have been a waste.

*END SPOILER*

But that's just how I read the ending. I'm just curious what you thought.
