does Hollywood need to make a movie where the young woman defies convention and says, "I am my own person"? if you have a young woman protagonist, she's gonna say it. and worse, in this film, she decides not to marry a man who no woman should ever marry. why does the guy need to be obnoxios or a monster? is every movie Beauy and the Beast? can't they have an arranged marriage to a real winner, but the girl decides she's not ready anyway? oh, wait, we did: it was Sex and the City and Samantha, Who? and lots of other TV shows from the last 10 years...
