True Movie Romance
Everyone who knows me knows that I really hate romantic comedies. I’m pretty sure watching them might actually burn my retinas. Why do I hate them so much? Because nothing about them is actually romantic. They all remind me of a scribbled-on notebook in some 13-year-old girl’s backpack. (Of course if you threw in a zombie or two, I might be interested in watching that. )
I wrote my own romantic comedy in approximately 16 minutes. It is basically every romantic comedy you’ve ever seen, condensed and with all of the fluff taken out.
Real romance, from what I’ve experienced, is quite different. But because this standard of tween Justin Bieber- romance is stuffed in our face nearly every commercial break, I think most people forget that.
Lesson learned: Love is more complicated than Ashton Kutcher.
Hold on – you can actually make your own little movies like that?! That was totally awesome. Love.
Yes! It was pretty easy. Glad you like it!
Ha ha! You hit the nail on the head. I could actually envision Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves in your avatars.
You forgot to add that the female love interest is still involved/semi-still-in-love with a “bad boy” she knows is no good for her so has to have an epiphany to see the new nice guy as dreamy to the story plot.
nailed it!
