Anything But Romantic

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2003)

This contains SPOILERS
This movie made me really angry because it is PG 13 rated, and it sent out a very bad message to very young people. Like ..If you sleep with a guy within a week to ten days of meeting him - Romio and Juliette awaits. Or..Promiscuity is perfectly normal and acceptable... For example - the girl in the beginning who was crying her eyes out because her boyfriend had dumped her after a week, then went on to say how special the sex was when she slept with him on the second date. He later shows up at her door with flowers saying how he missed her... WHAT A LIE!!! Happy endings such as this do not occur when you sleep with a guy on the second date, he doesn't miss you and he doesn't show up at your door with flowers confessing his undying love. Then there was Matthew McConnaughy and Kate Hudson -whose characters slept together on day 9. (they only waited this long because previous attempts didn't work). The next day they sat around trying to figure out if they were girlfriend and boyfriend or not - in love or not. THIS IS BACK TO FRONT PEOPLE. Please don't be taken in by this Hollywood lie. Lets call a spade a spade, Respect and love means waiting to sleep together because there is so much more to the relationship than that. No respect and no love means.. not waiting. Each to their own, but lets keep it honest. This movie was at the least, appropriately titled.
