Away We Go

Boys often dislike romcom because it maps out the "perfect relationship" that girls aspire their relationship to be like. Whether it is the bad boy turned good scenario, or the grand gesture in the rain, most girls want the Tom Hanks to their Meg Ryan, the Mr. Bigs of the world.

When I watch couples on screen, my favorite relationships are those that show love that will never fade, that even 30 years later, the love they had in their first year is still as strong in their 30th year together.

I just finished watching Away We Go. Bert and Verona go up there in my favorite on screen couple list, along with Noah and Allie (Notebook) and Jack and Kate (The Family Man).
