Letting a character pick a douchebag without him actually learning anything or becoming a better person just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. <br /><br />Will therefore be avoiding this movie.

That's as romantic as it gets for a true romantic. I get what you're saying about the douchebag thing, and I actually disagree with movies that give girls the false impression that they could be THE ONE girl who breaks the bad boy of his badboyishness. It's a dangerous idea that leads to a lot of heartbreak. But for some reason, I was okay with this ending. I think it's because Reese's character isn't exactly a saint herself. It was sort of a "they deserve each other" feeling for me at the end. After all, what kind of girl doesn't pick Tom Hardy?! ;)Katrina L.

Hopefully, it will lessen with better examples of bad boys films/fiction give their audiences.

I saw reviews and really like Reese, see practically every movie she's in but I won't see this one. Thank you for the review that saved me money because I would've been very upset by this premise "nice guys finish last" because I don't believe it. Like you, I totally agree with the title of your post.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.com
