Romantic Films

Now I don't have much time to write about this genre, and be happy, because I could rant all night about why I hate them so much.

Though I don't mind having an underlying love story in, say, an action film, but there is no need to have one whole film dedicated to being in love. The last thing when I go to the cinema or buy a DVD is to sit through two hours of a two people getting together and being "so happy" in love, only for them to break up, then lo and behold they get back together again! It's the same in every romantic or rom-com film, and personally I feel it needs to stop.

It's like Love Actually, a film many people call a "classic", or what I call a film that could be brilliant but is ruined by a mix of Hugh Grant and pure rubbish. Honestly, I'd been told to watch it because it's "so fantastic", and I really hated it. Admittedly there were parts where I really loved it, such as Bill Nighy recreated Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around" in a Christmas fashion, which would bring a smile to anyone's face.

There really isn't much point on me carrying on about Romance films, there are a lot of films I could reference here for committing the sin of being in this genre, but I'm sure at one point in the future I'll either make a longer post, or (tragically) have to review a romantic film.

So for now keep checking back for more posts, and I will see you soon.
