I'm pretty sure I read somewhere about them doing Beastly re-shoots, so they might've started out with the drug-dealer ending and then jettisoned it for something sappier and safer. While I didn't love the drug dealer stuff in the book (I thought it was a really dark and abrupt tone shift from the sweet high school romance going on), you can't really work up the same level of 'oh, no, what's going to happen' with a school trip to Machu Picchu as with a crazy violent drug dealer.
My friend and I actually started giggling during the transformation-back-into-a-prince moment cause it was so cheesy. And I thought Will's reaction in his last scene was way too subdued; if that was me, I would've been running through the streets to the Hallelujah chorus. On the other hand, I thought Mary Kate Olsen was really well cast.
