Romantic films are known to ruin relationships as they give unrealistic expectations to women about what to expect from men. Porn has the same effect on men !

This is correct. even this nollywood has caused alot of damages. you can imagine a young man in a naija movie with about 6 cars in a big duplex with a swimming pool, meanwhile he is single. you and I know the cars and hotel were hired but your naija girls would expect their just graduated boyfriends to possess all of dat.

Perhaps they do but any girl that sees a movie and decides to believe what she see is immature, brainless and does not deserve to be in a relationship

If you said culturally, I would agree. Thought a matured person would know the difference between ‘make believe’ and ‘reality’, I might be wrong though.

Men/Women who swallow hook, line, and sinker what they watch in romantic movies seriously need to have their heads examined. Human beings should be able to know the difference between reality and a fantasy. By the way, p-orn is good! grin

It is a shame how adults (I assume) are blaming movies for their DECISIONS. It is not Nollywood nor Hollywood fault that your brain hasn't maturated to the point of rational comprehension.

You should know some things in the movies is purely entertainment and shouldn't take to heart. It is a shame when Hollywood has to constantly plaster disclaimers all over the screen for dumb arse people to get that this act or scene shouldn't be attempted at home!

If a man was to rape a girl, because he saw a scene in a movie that makes it okay? WTF.

Take responsibility for your OWN ACTIONS AND DECISIONS.

Each time person watches a Nigerian movie, that person looses a percentage of his/her brain. Ask Onila she knows

I wonder if anyone of you guys have watched "I HATE LOVE STORIES" - It is a quite interesting romantic film. . . one of the best drama i have ever watched when it comes to love/romantic films.  = You can take a look at the summary here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Hate_Luv_Storys

Simran (Sonam Kapoor) loves Bollywood romances—so much so that her life has begun to resemble one. With her awesome job and a "Mr. Perfect" fiancé, Raj (Sameer Dattani), she lives a dreamy life. But then comes Jay (Imran Khan), who brings a fresh joy into her life. Jay is an assistant to a director who is famous for his love story films; however, Jay hates love stories. He is a Casanova and a disbeliever of love. He first hates Simran for her obsession with romance, and Simran also has a bad impression of him, but soon after, the two become best friends.
Simran's close bond with Jay brings problems in her love life with her fiancé, Raj. She feels that Raj is not right for her, and falls deeply in love with Jay, dreaming of spending her entire life with him. She decides to confess her feelings to him, but after doing so, Jay explains that he never thought of her that way--they were only best friends. Heartbroken, Simran leaves. She moves from Mumbai to New Zealand for further shooting of the film and its premiere, and does not speak to Jay.
Jay finds that her absence in his life upsets him and realizes that he has fallen in love with her. He goes to New Zealand and plans a romantic dinner, asking Simran to meet him. He admits that he loves her but this time, she rejects him, as she does not want to hurt Raj's feelings after giving him another chance. A brokenhearted Jay tries to accept the fact that he has lost Simran to Raj. However, Jay's friends and his mother persuade him to not give up on Simran. Jay tries to make Simran jealous to make her come back but soon realizes that manipulating her feelings will hurt her even more.
Meanwhile, Raj proposes to Simran, and she accepts. But later, Simran realizes she doesn't love Raj, and tells him so. She goes to the movie premiere, where she hopes to meet Jay. On the other hand, Jay is leaving, as he has given up all hopes of being with Simran. At the airport, he talks to his mother and she again asks him not to give up. Encouraged, Jay runs back to the premiere. He finds Simran outside the theater and the two express their love for each other and hug, finally getting their happy ending.
Take a look at the plot here.

Common, such things dont really happen now, or do they? mayhaps i am wrong. . .

I don't think romantic films distort romance, films are based on true events or beliefs of a people, before Romeo and Juliet and after our own romantic tales, love will keep taking whatever forms we as individuals give it. I believe we get the kind of romance we give.

I am with Mrs C. on this one abeg! I can't think of a lady that has unrealistic expectations of her guy because of a movie as mature just as i feel it would be immature for a guy to b disappointed with his partner because of a p.ornstar!
Re: Romantic Films Are Known To Ruin Relationships As They Give Unrealistic Expectat by Nobody: 9:07pm On Jan 17, 2012
Only those who dont or cant differentiate reality from fantasy.
If youre a grown woman still waiting for your "prince charming" and to live "happily ever after" once you've found him then you need to lay off of the pipe.  lipsrsealed
