A movie that had great potential... but failed to realize it towards the end

Warning: Spoilers
Brief summary: Matt is a straight single dude, striving to form a family of his own with a child and he quickly finds that opportunity to be granted when meeting the introverted, but charming Anna to be his surrogate. The two form an unlikely bond with each other despite having been estranged a bit in the beginning, but it all builds up many of the heartwarming moments they have within the film. Sounds peachy right?

Ok now, here's the deal: The movie was fantastic with its sentimental moments and corny cutesy jokes from our beloved leads... Up until the end!!! I have so many questions about what direction the writer/director Nikole Beckwith wanted to take with this movie after watching that unfulfilling ending. I mean, I stayed to see if there was any post credit scenes (which I usually don't) to fill in the gaps and just poof! Nothing. Only a brief post credit interview that some big movie theater proprietor and the two leads had along with the director, but still no questions were geared towards that ending.

Other than that, I did enjoy the movie for the most part (except that cliffhanger of an ending), but just like a previous review mentioned on here: If there's an uncut version of the film, I would definitely love to watch it because I think the audience at least in my humble opinion could use some answers.
