Yes, very random title, but I was wanting to lighten the mood. The title is a line from the movie Dan in Real Life. It made me laugh for quiet a while. Well that and this one…
Marie: “He said if I could forgive him his past, he’d forgive mine.” (this is paraphrased since I can’t remember exact wording).
Dan: “Well that was stupid.”

Ahhh, love. I need to watch this movie again, since I was slightly distracted the first time (by a child who wouldn’t go to sleep), but I found it a little slow moving. Plus, I felt sorry for his brother for most of the movie and I’m not sure that’s how they intended it. Or maybe they did. I thought it was more Romantic Comedy and while there is romance and comedy, the situation wasn’t nearly as hilarious as the clips lead you to believe.

There are a lot of awkward moments. Truthfully, it’s an awkward situation. Falling for your brother’s girlfriend and then trying to make it work? Add three young girls to the mix and that’s a lot of angst. But it felt fairly realistic to me, which is why I think it was awkward. Maybe that was the intention.

People give romance novels a bad rap about how fast the hero and heroine fall in love, but this guy fell in love over coffee! That’s fast – of course if he fell in love with the coffee, then I’d completely understand.
