Wikipedia and "Word-Of-God" says that the movie's ending is misleading. As-scripted and shot, they do not actually end up together, they agree to just stay Really Good Friends ("Gay Best Friend" trope?). The studio took final cut away from the filmmakers and clip/pasted a different ending because they knew it would make more money.
That movie is a very fascinating story of What Is vs. What Almost Was, as the movie they wrote ended up being almost nothing like the movie they made, mostly due to studio meddling. Like it's not a bad movie but it's very "safe" and generic which is the total opposite of what the creators originally wanted to make, so that's a shame. I've only ever seen the Director's Cut for the last 10+ years so I can't even remember the American theatrical version. It's got some fairly big differences compared to the American Theatrical cut, including the ending.
Most of the world saw the Director's Cut, and it's the only version of the movie that the people who made it embrace, so that's what's "canon", to me. It's not even close to the movie they wanted to make, but it's "closer" to what they wanted people to see. So I personally defer to that.
