Does anyone feel that the movies such as THE BREAKUP help to reinforce the validity of shallow relationships?
It did not turn out to be a romantic comedy, but a very sad portrayal of what some people think is normal or healthy in a relationship. The scene where Brooke (Jennifer Aniston) fights with Gary (Vince Vaughn) over not buying enough lemons for the center piece is beyond selfish and ridiculous. I am woman, but I was insulted and offended by women like Brooke who get mad about the men in their lives for not doing things that they could do themselves. To me it would be so much more healthy and wise to have bought the things she needed in the first place rather than rely on Vaughn to do it for her. Even though this is just a movie, I feel this is very true to life because I see many women complaining about things that their men do not do for them, but they knew these fellows were like when they first met them. However, Gary's character is not perfect either and I feel he is representative of the large number of men out there who are not ready for an adult relationship.
