why must every hollywood flick have a crappy love story?
seriously, can't they go one movie without a forced love story?
shareI liked both love stories because unlike the usual puppy dog story, the young lovers are contrasted with the older lovers who have been under forced separation for centuries yet their loved never wavered. It adds further dimensions to the characters of Dave and Balthazar and how they interact with one another.
shareI hated both love stories. A ridiculous amount of cheese was involved.

Right with you OP
Its like a writers fomula .
Must be lovable loser, gets an upgrade of destiny induced power and must have a hot love intrest ( no matter how unlikely ) to prove his virility .

In a fair universe, we would all be better people.
I ask that same question.
It's their ridiculous notion that they think more females will watch it if there's romance.
It's the same logic that they use to make a movie like the King's Speech PG-13.
Some movies don't need romance like some movies just aren't going to be watched by pre-teens.
What an excellent day for an exorcismshare
If there was no romance, then how would Dave and Balthazar come to empathize and understand one another so quickly?

By talking to each other.
But wait..thats to hard.
And our heroes might come off too soft and not manly and awesome enough.
I think Im in my cynics phase..

also, 'the one true love' in everyone's life is always some girl (or boy) they meet at a really young age - usually they don't even know them that well - and somehow still hang on to some silly childhood crush 10-20 years later.
people change and they might not even be compatible when they're in their 20s, or 30s.
Then again, it is fiction and fairy-tale romances exist in fiction :)
Yeah...
And
Especially those hot girls, very pleasant and understanding, totally in love with the ugly loser guy.
For once I would like to see something different: The ugly and unwanted girl having the love story of her life with the hottest guys.
No, that will destroy the fantasy of every guy on Earth.
Movies cliché are sometimes very annoying, you really have to go outside to live and see how real world is cuz movies can trick people´s brain.
I will be close but still untouchable

In general, women care more about a man's personality than his looks. She might be initially attracted to a "hot" guy, but he has to treat her right in order for her to want to stay with him. He doesn't have to be "hot" for her to like him.
Physical attraction is more important to a man than it is to a woman.
So true Nancynhac. Women that only go for looks (or money) usually end up unhappy. And some really good looking women actually complain that it's hard to find a date because average guys don't think they would want to be with them.
shareThere are enough of those movies as well. It usually involves a make-over scene, montage with crappy upbeat backgound music, transforming her from grey mouse with glasses to a generic "hot girl". It's just that these are usually in different kinds of movies, so you have seen less of them, but they are there. Do you remember Breakfast Club for example? Ally Sheedy got this treatment there in order to appeal to the hot guy (Emilio Estevez).
