What Movies Ruined Our Perception of Relationships?
The Notebook
'The Notebook' has given women such high and unrealistic expectations of men that they will undoubtedly be let down in real life. Ryan Gosling's character Noah spends years performing grand gestures of love to win over his sweetheart Ali. His over-the-top antics include: Writing letters every single day Building a dream home for Ali Dramatic kisses in the pouring rain
The Hunger Games
Even though their early interaction was limited to tossing Katniss a burnt loaf of bread, Peeta shows females that guys should do anything to get the girl. This includes the possibility of giving your life for someone in the death battle known as 'The Hunger Games.'
Any Adam Sandler Movie
Adam Sandler has gone through countless movies using wit, charm and a lot of immaturity to unrealistically hook up with co-stars like Jennifer Aniston, Salma Hayek, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale. He constantly gives average men false hope that using silly voices and goofing off is the key to getting a girl out of your league.
Grease
Crazy, Stupid, Love
Let's just call this one the "Ryan Gosling effect." After this hit and others like 'Drive,' many females are looking for one thing in relationships: a Ryan Gosling clone. Many men are doomed to fail at relationships when they don't come close to the expectations that Ryan Gosling has set. Attributes of a Ryan Gosling clone include: Smooth talker Nice Wardrobe Laid back attitude Confidence
Pretty Woman
Where do you begin with a movie that presents a hooker with a heart of gold? Not only has this movie given false hope for woman looking to move up in society, but it presents an unrealistic view into the world of prostitution as a whole. I suggest watching Charlize Theron in 'Monster' to help level out the playing field.
Titanic
Any expectations of a three-day whirlwind love affair should have sunk with the ship while watching 'Titanic.' Not only did Rose fall in love, but she spent the rest of her life living out every fantasy that Jack presented her. In reality, money issues would have caused a major rift between the couple if the ship ever landed in the United States. -
Sleepless in Seattle If real life was 'Sleepless in Seattle,' long-distance relationships truly would make the heart grow fonder - especially if you and your one true love have never met face to face. The true love will be even more powerful if you are already engaged to be married to start.
Jerry Maguire When a brilliant, but egomaniacal, person enters your life while falling on the hardest of times, take a leap of faith and give up your career and any previous financial security. You'll be rewarded in the long run with true love from a redeemed soul who will sweep you and your precocious son off your feet.
Say Anything... When the times get tougher than ever with your would-be-true love, he is going to pursue you and win over your heart and soul by blasting the perfect song at the exact moment you need it most. He'll play that song in hopelessly romantic fashion with no concern for who else is watching, and you'll run to him as all your troubles disappear.
Knocked Up When your partner is the exact opposite of the ideal you have set for yourself in every crucial manner of personality and lifestyle, having a child together will magically fashion all of your irreconcilable differences into lovable quirks.
Bridget Jones's Diary (or Any Rom-Com with a Love Triangle) In the pursuit of love, there will always be two beautiful people battling for your affection. It'll be a rough go of it on your emotions for a while, because they are both just so darned beautiful and willing to pursue you. Luckily for you, the answer to the heart-wrenching dilemma will reveal itself to you when you realize how big of a jerk the wrong one is, and your (patient) true love welcomes you with open arms for a future of happily ever after.
You've Got Mail As already proven in several other movies on this list, a strong dislike and excessive bickering will inevitably end in discovery that your rival is your true love. This undoubtedly true when you hold on to wholly contradictory beliefs or competing businesses, such as with the frustrating man who manages an outlet for a corporate behemoth and the beautiful woman who runs the struggling independent bookstore. That the stars will align to allow your anoynmous crush (who happens to be your total nemesis) to fall in love with you is only a matter of time.
Any Movie with a "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" Lover Somewhat depressed, average-looking guys everywhere can wholeheartedly believe in happily ever after now that "manic pixie dream girls" (i.e. Zooey Deschanel incarnate, 'Garden State,' 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,' 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' etc.) bring quirky magic, colorful personality, true love, and all the greatest indie tunes into their lives on a routine basis. -

Grease
Grease
You're
the One that I Want' may be the theme-song of 'Grease', but the only
thing that viewers see is Sandy changing completely to get the one she
wants. She changes from a likeable, clean-dressed girl to a cigarette
smoking, leather-wearing rebel. No matter how catchy the songs are,
women should never follow Sandy's actions to please a man - See more at:

Crazy, Stupid, Love
Silver Linings Playbook One depressed person amounts to an unpredictable train wreck on family and friends, but two depressed people serendipitously falling for each other (after the requisite bickering, chasing, shed tears and a breakdown or two) equates to romantic bliss to the benefit of all. Jerry Maguire When a brilliant, but egomaniacal, person enters your life while falling on the hardest of times, take a leap of faith and give up your career and any previous financial security. You'll be rewarded in the long run with true love from a redeemed soul who will sweep you and your precocious son off your feet.
