Shortly after, Anna finds out from her lawyer that her ban from the United States has finally been lifted. She gives up her job, her current boyfriend and her apartment and she returns to Los Angeles to Jacob. Jacob greets Anna at the Like Crazy airport with flowers and the two have the reconciliation that they didn't have after Anna was first banned, although it seems to lack the passion you see earlier in their relationship.
Reunited and without any legal impediments to being together, Anna and Jacob are shown to be starting a life together. The film closes with the two in the shower reminiscing their initial courtship. They appear somewhat strained likely because their journey together has had many ups and downs. The movie ends with both characters reflecting back on a cascade of clips of their initial encounters together. The future of Jacob and Anna's relationship is unclear watch more

Like Crazy has a 73% "certified fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states "It has the schmaltzy trappings of many romantic films, but Like Crazy allows its characters to express themselves beyond dialogue, crafting a true, intimate study."[10] The film was The Christian Science Monitor's third best film of 2011.[11]
Upon the film's January 2012 release in the UK, Philip French described it as "likable, lightweight, bittersweet" and a "less knowingly smart, less entertaining conflation of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, stretched out over four or five years."[12] According to Robbie Collin, "Like Crazy is a well-acted and obviously heartfelt film, and at times it's also a wispily beautiful one. Unfortunately, any attempt to appreciate its not insignificant charms is hindered by an overpowering desire to grab the main characters by the shoulders and give them a good shake....Doremus has clearly fallen head over heels for the techniques of the French New Wave, but it’s less of a romance than an infatuation. He mimics the handheld camerawork and improvised dialogue of Godard’s Breathless et al—except, 50 years on, those techniques have a very different effect, perversely making the film feel more premeditated, less immediate."

Yelchin and Jones were cast into the main roles. Prior to filming they met in a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles to get to know one another.[9] Jones told Steven Zeitchik from the Los Angeles Times that "I remember thinking, 'I just hope he's a good guy'".
