My personal hall of shame: What Women Want, You've Got Mail, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, among many, many others.

In a culture of entitlement, I find this relational trend disturbing. One of the most annoying trends I’ve seen in romantic comedies is the dismissal of bad or even hateful behavior.
