What a stupid thing to get into a fight over.

When your girlfriend recommends you watch a romcom, you shut up and watch it. Then lie through your teeth about how great it was and how it really moved you.

Instead you said it sucks and got put in the dog house. GG
Meh, I'd rather be honest with her and judge her reaction. If she gets upset at me for voicing my opinion for her crap movie then I'd tell her to piss off and find a gay guy to cry and watch movies with.

I think Soul Plane is a better movie. At least it just perpetuates stereotypes, instead of telling women it's okay to cheat.

Has anyone here seen the film and what is your opinion on how it portrays romance and "true love"?
You must of missed a part of the movie where the mom 'fess up to her daughter she was in love with another man but settled with her father because he was a better provider and a decent person but lousy in the sack. The mom was pushing the daughter to forget about her true love/soul mate and go with the better provider aka the meal ticket but the daughter decided to go with the true love. The movie was decent and Rachel McAdam looked pretty hot in it.

At the end of the movie I realized how badly the writer messed up. It should have been the guy she cheated on, the businessman, who read her the story and wasted his life.

So. My girlfriend recently watched The Notebook and absolutely loved it. She told me to watch it. I watched it and thought it was disgusting. We had a pretty huge fight over it, but that's not the point.

I personally hate it because it paints a completely unrealistic and unfair picture of men. If women believe that real love should be like this all men are screwed. The film basically teaches women that it is okay to cheat on your fiancée (who isn't even a wifebeater or anything but a really great guy) and bone your ex-summer love boyfriend who you only dated for a couple of weeks and has somehow become "the one".

EDIT: this guy pretty much says it all IMO:

You just didn't understand the movie, because you were watching it from a distinct male biased perspective. You are judging the characters in the movie by typical Old-World European patriarchal standards. You're emphasis on reason is only valid in this male dominated framework. Different rules apply to different genders:

Man cheats on girlfriend = cunt
Man prefers hot chick over dedicated stable girl = immature
Man ignores advice from parents/friends = stubborn
Man is unsure about his feelings = wussy
Man is unreasonable = egocentric
Man decides actions based on personal feelings = inconsiderate selfish pig

Woman cheats on girlfriend = true love
Woman prefers dodgy stallion over dedicated stable guy = true love
Woman ignores advice from parents/friends = true love
Woman is unsure about her feelings = confused, needs to be given time to find true love
Woman is unreasonable = intuition
Woman decides actions based on personal feelings = true love

Haggard to the max. Imagine what it would do to all of the female perceptions of 'following your heart' and finding 'true love'. It would have made the movie 100x more dynamic. The cut and dry depiction of love in the film would have been shattered as you see what true dedication is- even after the bitch cheats she still has him loyal as ever until he dies, without any return. Is that loyalty and 'true love' worth sacrificing for a fling with some poor douche? Or is it those flings and intense moments of passion that define 'true love'.

So much wasted potential in this film. Fucking sickening.

Not only did I watch it, I considered the implications of it. Which are non-existent, as I noted above.

Awesome film.  You haters don't like it because you haven't seen the extended director's cut on BluRay while getting head from some rough trick named Mitch.  Try it.

No, chicks can't handle that, they would simply go in denial and boycott the movie en masse.

I thought it was about the FSB trying to recover a stolen laptop with a secret list on it or something XD

Spoiler (highlight to read):
No seriously, I didn't watch it and now am not going to either!

Haha this is exactly what I said to my gf after we watched it. It's supposed to be all soft and tender but let's face it, the girl left a loving and providing husband to go fuck her first summer fling. Garbage. I was even more ashamed to learn that the person who wrote the book "The Notebook" was a "man."

You sound like my ex...marry for money. Her situation was be married with a wealthy guy and goood provider and be miserable like her mother or marry some one who makes her happy even though he is a poor sap. She took her chances, in a world of insecurities, and went with the man she truly loved even though he is not established. I was forced to watch this with my GF but have to admit it was decent to watch.

Nah that's not what I'm saying. Hell, if that's what I was saying I definitely wouldn't have a gf to watch it with. Notice I said a loving and providing husband. He loved her in the movie, it's not like he just ignored her and bought her things. By providing I wasn't referring to money, just care in general. Regardless of how happy the poor guy made her, and regardless of each man's financial situation, she was married to the rich guy. It's not cool to cheat on the person you're married to.

I am pretty sure they were only engaged. Regardless, she grew up in a decent home and nice upbringing but on a person level there was somethng missing. The pivotal point in the movie was her mother's confession about her feelings about her father and the true love of her life whom she gaved up. Her mom half heartedly encourages her to marry her fiancé for the same reason what you have said, but the daughter apparently did not want to make the same mistake as her mother. Fook never thought I would be talking about the Notebook /wrists
