Horrendous leading characters

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2019)

I just watched this movie, fully aware of what a huge hit it was.
What I did not know is how insufferable Benjamin would turn out to be.
If the movie were out today, he would have a Tumblr account and would be sharing dramatic quotes in the darkness of his room. Thank God Anne Bancroft is around to hurt his fragile male ego into finally have sex with her.
After months of sleeping with her, he does not understand why she, HIS LOVER, would not want him dating HER DAUGHTER.
Is this guy mentally challenged???
Then he finally goes on a date with said daughter, Elaine. He humilliates her but it's all good. They manage to fix everything with a kiss.
Next day he confesses the affair. Obviously she tells him to f-ck off and die.
Days later he decides he is going to marry her. He decides. She does not know.
Romance!
He stalks her at the university.
Romance!
He crashes her date.
Romance!
But overall all is good. She has feelings for him...AFTER ONE DATE...and she's willing to overlook that either he raped his mom (as mom said) or that he had an affair with her for months.
It's LOVE!
He does not give her a break or space to breathe at the university and is constantly pushing her to get tested to get married.
Romance!
Then papa Robinson of course is upset after figuring all out and wants him out of the picture... as any sane person would.
Elaine, a university student with no agency, is willing to marry whoever her parents tell her too because reasons.
But he comes and takes her away...as every person knows by now.
The end.
Looking forward for the next christmas with the entire family.
Imagine how an entire generation saw this movie so many times and thought this was romantic and representative. Really troubling.
