Happy endings that aren't

[Selkie]

I might get flamed for this, since apparently I'm the only person on earth who hated this movie, but "Love, Actually." And yes, I do mean each of the 5,398 different "happy" endings it had.

I hate to say it, but I never really thought Holly Golightly and Paul Varjack would work out in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Especially since in the book, he's gay!

I hated it when Carrie married Big (in Sex and the City). He bailed on her the day of the wedding and she married him anyway? So disappointing!

Completely agreed.

But didn't you think she was being a total tool too? Her relationship behaviour is as bad as his. They deserve each other.

Completely. But then, I was an Aidan fan. He dodged a bullet.

I thought she was a total tool to Aidan (like Selkie, I was an Aidan fan, but I always like the nice guys), but I never thought she was a tool to Big, just a pushover. I thought the wedding was pretty low-key for Carrie, even for it being his third wedding. If he really just wanted to marry her the wedding itself would have made no difference at all. I had to laugh at how annoyed I was that this fictional character ended up being so weak and married a fictional jerk, haha.

She was a tool to Big too. Did you not see all the insecure BS and drama she threw his way? Plus, he was late for the wedding... but he showed up! (forgive me if I missed some little detail in the timeline, but that is my recollection) If your husband was late at your wedding, or even told you he had cold feet 10 minutes before, would you have walked out on him? I would not have walked out. She was unwilling to allow him to have any insecurities in that moment. Tool.

And I am a big SATC fan, don't get me wrong, but all the women on that show are mega F*d up in relationships. Normal, sure, relatable, sure, but total insecure nightmares every one.

Two Michele Pfeiffer movies come to mind:

One Fine Day . . . how can we ever believe that a relationship begun that morning will last?

Conversely, The Story of Us . . . I've always thought it was more believable (since it's about a long-time couple that has hit a rough patch) than most romantic movies.


Two Weeks Notice . . . no chemistry between the characters for me.

I LOVE One Fine Day! I disagree! They are so perfect for each other!!

The Story of Us was good though, I agree on that
