| Surely we've all seen those romantic comedy's that | | | | little something from these romantic movies. |
| make us sigh at the end? Wishing something like that | | | | I think that subliminally they teach us what is right |
| could happen to us. How awesome would it be to | | | | and what is wrong when it comes to love. In some |
| have Colin Firth come up to you and say "I like you | | | | respects anyways. I mean for example, we all know |
| just the way you are" (Bridget Jones). Or how | | | | that it is wrong to cheat and lie and Hollywood also |
| sweet would it be to have a girl come up to you and | | | | tries to imply this in most of their movies. |
| say "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking | | | | On the other hand though, these movies also leave |
| him to love her" (Notting Hill). | | | | us with the romantic notion that finding, or being |
| The truth is that these things do mostly only happen | | | | found by 'the one' is easy. We all know this is not |
| in the movies. I'd be lying though if I said I did not | | | | the case and there isn't always a 'happily ever after' |
| secretly fantasise about something equally as | | | | either. The good thing about this though is that it |

| I could sit here and tell you that it could be just like | | | | such a bad thing. You will also notice in these movies |

| Hollywood build up our expectations a little too high. I | | | | admit when we have wronged the other person. If |
| am guilty myself of expecting horse rides on the | | | | you have something worth fighting for, then take a |
