I just happened to stumble upon this article and found it so interesting and indeed true! I had often noticed this with my girlfriend after watching 'rom-coms' with her, both from movies and the awful drama series she watches (im so dead now!) and found that she would note how wonderful their clothes were or how romantic and elegant their weddings were (all highly unrealistic of course). This of course worried me as to how i could afford let alone organise all these wonderful things seen in the realm of movie land. I was also concerned at whether or not women actually realise events like these that happen in movies don't actually happen in real life! (Even more dead now! lol)."Films do capture the excitement of new relationships but they also wrongly suggest that trust and committed love exist from the moment people meet, whereas these are qualities that normally take years to develop." (BBC News, 2008).
So basically this is just one more reason why people shouldn't go and see rom-coms, not only are they usually always complete crap they could also ruin your love life, currently or in the future. Stick to horror or zombie movies which will in turn make you appreciate what you have in your relationships, while at the same time letting you realise how fortunate enough you are to not be living amongst the walking dead.
