"Not a Love Story"?!

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2010)

Nice flick ... but the writer ruined it for me by having the narrator say right off the top: "This is not a love story." Thanks a lot. You just told me the ending. Why not let me experience the movie with both options open. You just killed the "boy wins girl" possibility.
The writer has effectively cut himself off at the knees.
Is it because he's telling the audience, "Here, I just tied my hands by limiting my options -- now watch me write my way out of this one." Minus 10 points for thinking too much.
By the way, for the record, it was a love story until they hit the skids.
