The 1990s were brimming with rom coms–many starring Julia Roberts.
But should we really take advice from them?
Im not saying that hewas, because that would mean that hed be in his 30s now.

Oh my God,Notting Hillwas… Well, you get the picture!
Julia Roberts rom-coms were everywhere in the 90s.
However, that does not mean that they were reliable sources of advice for nine-year-olds.
Just for fun, lets call it the Female Character Written By a Male Screenwriter Gene.
However, in Mariannes case, this backfires.
Thanks to this movie, I eventually stopped inventing fake girlfriends and began dating real beards.
Then, when she disparages William to strangers behind his back, she chalksthisup to being famous, too.
But later, when paparazzi follow her to Williams house and harass her, she blamesthaton William!
Girl, that was theonetime that your fame was the reason for something!
The rest of the times you were just being an a**hole!
In fact, Roberts character, Maggie, isnt a sociopath at all, in hindsight.
Shes a smart and assured woman who greatly values her agency and doesnt want to settle for less.
Hence, the runaway-ing.
Thats not a very meticulous or accurate investigation!
Imagine if I had never shared this with the world.
Do not marry Dennis Quaid.
He cheats on Julia Roberts character in this movie!
Thats only OK when a Julia Roberts character does it and its due to the character being famous!
Now, if I can only figure out why I havent married Timothee Chalamet.
