The comedian, who plays dentist Bertrum Pincus in the romcom, came up with an alternative ending after deciding that the proposed smooch "didn't mean anything".
He explained: "I see these romcoms and they just go in and kiss, then live happy ever after. I think 'well, how do we know?' One of my favourite films which we tried to emulate was The Apartment where at the end she just goes: 'Shut up and deal.'
"We came up with something. She says 'It hurts when I smile' and I say 'I can fix that' and we thought that was nice, as he's a dentist. So it's not your average schmaltzy formula romcom."
