Whenever I see a romantic comedy, or even a epic romance film, I can't help but feel a little frustrated. Sure, I love to see the main characters end up happily ever after [1], but let's be realistic, it usually doesn't work out that way! I happen to think movies like When Harry Met Sally [2] give false hope that Mr. Right could be right in front of your face when realistically that's a pretty uncommon scenario. I hate to be a Debbie Downer [3] but I have to ask, do you think romance films negatively impact real-life relationships? Do they leave a sour taste in your mouth because they are so unrealistic, or do they give you hope that one day, you'll have your own version of a fairly-tale ending? [4]
