Romance for rent

Love is in the air. I know you can feel it. I can. The
grocery stores are filled with heart-shaped candies, florists order extra roses,
and everything looks as though it has been coated in Pepto-Bismol. Ah, love.
So, are you feeling left out? Not quite bit by the
Valentine's Day bug yet? For your convenience, I have reviewed a few movies that
are sure to make you swoon. So sit back, relax, grab some candy, and wait for
the bug to bite.
Pretty Woman
Plot: Boy meets hooker, boy buys hooker, hooker is
nice, hooker goes from rags to riches, boy loves hooker, hooker is not a hooker
anymore, and they live happily ever after.
Lovers: In this modern day version of the favorite
classic, Julia Roberts (Vivian) stars as Cinderella and Richard Gere (Edward) is
her Prince Charming.
Watch this movie with: The person you want to be your
boyfriend/girlfriend. This is a cute movie that has a classic story line with
modern day twists and shows that love can exist between even the most unlikely
two people.
Famous line: "Do you know the way to Beverly
Hills?"
Ghost
Plot: Boy loves girl, boy meets untimely death, boy
becomes ghost, girl still loves dead boy, ghost boy finds lady who sees him,
ghost boy saves girl, and they don't live happily ever after, but it is still a
good movie.
Lovers: Demi Moore (Molly) and Patrick Swayze (Sam)
play the lovers who are inseparable even after death.
Watch this movie with: Reserve this flick for the one
you really love. A touching story about love even after death. Make sure to have
plenty of tissues, though.
Famous line: "Ditto!"
The Princess Bride
Plot: Boy loves girl, boy dies, boy comes back, girl
marries, boy dies again, boy saves girl and they live happily ever after.
Lovers: "Wesley" AKA "Farm Boy"
AKA "Dread Pirate Roberts" (Cary Elwes) loves Buttercup (Robin
Wright), but she is forced to become Prince Humperdink's (Chris Sarandon)
princess bride.
Watch this movie with: Anyone. Your parents, the kids
you baby-sit, your valentine. This is a great movie that can be watched and
enjoyed anytime and with anyone.
Famous Line: "Wuv, twoo wuv."
When Harry Met Sally
Plot: Boy meets girl, boy and girl don't see each
other for 12 years, boy meets girl again, boy loves girl and they live happily
ever after.
Lovers: Harry (Billy Crystal) meets Sally (Meg Ryan)
through mutual friends but later realizes there is something more. They star as
two of the most opposite people and prove that opposites really do attract.
Watch this movie with: Your best friend of the
opposite sex. Not necessarily your girlfriend/boyfriend, but someone you can
laugh with.
Famous line: "Yes! Oh Yes!"
