Movies are great at filling our vulnerable and rampant imaginations with all kinds of unrealistic expectations and desires about how the world should work. Sometimes it's those clever little plot holes that escapes the viewer's attention, and ends up instilling in them a belief that would hold no ground back in the real world. Romantic comedies in particular are great at that. But hey, if you can just enter into the experience of watching the movie, well aware that life's a whole lot more difficult than it's portrayed on the big screen, you'll be just fine.
