This is NOT Reality

Why is it that in the movies, people never break up? It's always la la la happy ending, yadda yadda, have a baby, etc. Although I am a sucker for those kinds of movies, I was thinking that that is NOT how real life works. I just saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I blogged about, and it was an alright movie (saw it for Free in Hughs-Trigg) and they broke up, but he ends up with an even hotter new girlfriend! Technically, the only movie I can think of when they break up is The Break-Up with Jen Aniston and Vince Vaughn, but that doesn't count because that's what the movie is about...Why does Hollywood have to portray all these happy marriages and relationships? Maybe couples look to the movies to judge their relationship and when they realize their relationhip isn't movie-worthy, they break up. THIS is the demise of real-life love! Do I sound scorned? Damn. I'm just sayin' it's BS that movies don't have a more equal representation of real-life relationships.. it's always totally in love or totally in angst. Oh the drama...
