According to a recent poll conducted in Australia, is appears that watching romantic comedies, or “rom-coms”, can have an affect on real-life relationships. It would seem that the glam and glitter of on-screen romance has led to a kind of disillusionment with its off-screen counterpart. “It seems our love of rom-coms is turning us into a nation of ‘happy-ever-after addicts’,” said Australian relationship counselor Gabrielle Morrissey. “Yet the warm and fuzzy feeling they provide can adversely influence our view of real relationships.” Morrissey added that unlike movie romances, “real relationships take work and true love requires more than fireworks.”
The poll, which was released by Warner Home Video in conjunction with the release of the movie “Valentine’s Day” to home video, showed that half of the 1000 people surveyed said that the glittery happy ending of the rom-com has ruined their perception of what an ideal relationship is.
The movie “”Valentine’s Day” is about a collection of couples who get together, break up, or make relationship changes surrounding the February 14th holiday. It stars Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jamie Fox, and Ashton Kutcher and is likely to contain just the kind of gilded happy ending that makes people disappointed in their real lives.
