26 Icky Romances In Famous Movies

Everyone enjoys a good romantic film. They make us all feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, at least till the popcorn and Milk Duds high wears off. Our minds had moved on by then, so we never thought of those romances.

What was Richard Curtis attempting to say in Love? Is it okay to send secret love letters to your newly married best friend's wife? Will your husband ultimately cheat on you because of younger mistresses? Is it appropriate to call Martine McCutcheon fat even though she isn't? Who gives a damn: it's (primarily) entertaining; that is the only commendable Christmas film within the last 15 years, and the airport-dash ending smoothes over all the rough edges. Plus, the closing scene of Bill Nighy and the manager will undoubtedly overheat a frozen heart!
