Worst Rom-Com Ending Ever
What do people want from a Rom-Com? They want a great love story. One they can believe in, even if the main characters are star-crossed lovers. Romeo meets Juliet. Neiman Marcus meets Walmart.
It also needs to deliver on a great ending where the couple professes their love for each other and are never to be parted.
So, there's the formula. Pretty simple. Easy to follow, don't you think?
On all the streaming channels, there are hordes of Rom-Com's. A huge number of these have been queued up for Christmas and have the holiday as their main theme.
Last night's choice of genres was between a horror movie or a Christmas romantic comedy. I wish I would have chosen the slasher film. At least then, I could have felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
This film had the worst ending I've ever seen. First, it should have been entitled A Celibate Christmas as the big kiss doesn't come until the final minutes of the film. It's a miserly peck on the lips, like watching Scrooge make out with a lamp post. To really knock it out of the park, they actually hold hands. Wow. Be still my heart. Though, I guess during this pandemic, that kind of bodily contact is equivalent to a Roman orgy; however, like a Ginsu knife collection that's not all you get. The couple's undying love for each other reaches its climax when - wait for it - they agree to have a long distance relationship.
Stop. It's too much. How will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy ever measure up to this timeless romance. Swoon.
Hollywood, just give the people what they want. Now - I have to go pull that baseball bat out of my TV.
Cheers!
