Dawson's Creek - The Series Finale (Extended Cut) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'd been a fan of Dawson's Creek since the very beginning, and the series finale did not disappoint. It tied up the six friends' relationships perfectly. Surprisingly, the most poignant and meaningful scenes belonged to Jack and Jen-- who were never "in" love, but true soulmates in every sense that mattered.
In terms of acting, all the major players turned in amazing performances. Most notably, Michelle Williams had me in tears when Jen was giving a final message to her baby girl. Not only was this scene a moving one, but tied into Joey's ongoing storyline of growing up without a mother. As Jen told Amy: "I want you to love to the tips of your fingers. And when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it.." it mirrored exactly the decision Joey always struggled to make.
Onto that topic, the closure of the Dawson-Joey-Pacey love triangle was tastefully resolved: having Joey realize who she really belonged with, knowing and appreciating the difference between her childhood and romantic love, and where they both fit in her life. For a long time, cherishing one meant having to diminish the other, and it was great to have Joey realize she was definitely NOT off the hook, and she didn't have to run from the truth anymore. In terms of "Great Loves" Joey had two-- a best friend/soulmate (Dawson) and partner/true love (Pacey). She ended up with the best of BOTH worlds, and this couldn't have been more perfectly illustrated. We should all be so lucky.
[Still debating the infamous PJ/DJ couple war? Look no further than the hilarious dialogue of the Dawson/Joey "dream wedding," which revealed the painful truth of why these two would never, ever survive in an adult relationship. ]
Longtime viewers will appreciate the familiar musical chioces (Edwin McCain, Chantal Kreviazuk, Jewel) and the built-in meta humor of the Sam/Colby production scenes. The inclusion of the Season One alternate ending and "new" Leery dad were puzzling, but the easter egg and commentary from Kevin Williamson and Paul Stupin made up for it. And the final montage of favorite clips was a wonderful tribute to six great seasons.
All in all this is a great package for the fans-- there's laughter, tears, angst, romance-- all the things we've come to know and love about DC through the years. "Say goodnight, not goodbye," indeed.
