It works cause I can really get pissed of when it comes to picking out a movie, can easily be there for half an hour. But yes...the gender thing..I don't know that.

Partially because we're both total film nerds, but still. I mean, how can you be in a relationship with someone who doesn't like at least a large quantity of the same things you do? If two people don't laugh at the same things, how in the hell are they romantically compatible? If you and your girlfriend can't sit down together and both enjoy the same movie, your relationship is doomed. Unless you're both really into like...Scrabble or something.

I don't think that when you go to the movie store with your boyfriend that he or anybody else would think, well she just wants to see some chick flick, and then talk through the whole movie. It really makes me mad that guys do that my ex-boyfriend used to do that and still does with his women. It just depends on the mood when women are happy then they will want something with less violence, just like ,men. When women are upset then they will want something violent. Just wanted to say I agree with Kristina Hey Kristina,

I think that if you are with someone then hopefully you have things in common, one of those things being movies. I understand that everyone has different tastes in movies, I do believe that everyone enjoys a good comedy!

Story is about an impossible love between a new girl in town that everyone finds a little bit weird and the cool guy who actually end up falling for her. Girls will be statisfied because it is a romantic story about fighting for love. Guys will be happy becuase of the dramatic side of the film and the blow-in-your-face end. Both sides happy. Donne deal Here is my DVD suggestion to pick with your girlfriend: Faded Memories (coming out soon).
