Well now I need to see both movies, but from the article’s tone and description of the suit, it sounds pretty damning.

I don't need to see either movie, but you're right that the similarities do sound pretty damning.

Yeah, granted the article is quoting the plaintiffs' suit, so we're getting a pretty skewed interpretation, but both films ending with a scene in which the leads select the same Spice Girls album to listen to really does point towards plagiarism. With that being said, I don't know how anyone could think they'd get away with that blatant.
