17 Famous Movies That Gave Horrible Romantic Advice

All’s well that ends well.

That’s the formula for almost every romantic movie that is released. For plot’s sake, they will throw in spicy storylines. Sometimes these storylines are so absurd, they defeat the purpose of the movie itself because the movie is supposed to be about love.

They turn out to be movies about deceit, trickery and manipulation instead of love, but because it is packaged so well, we never go deeper than the first layer.

Let’s go deeper.

1. Cinderella – Marry a guy who doesn’t even remember you by your face.
