2024 TV Diary (10 movies items)" Idk how this is a classic. It has not aged well. It’s incredibly freaking problematic and sexist. There’s literally a scene where the male lead talks about how he could assault his girlfriend while she was unconscious and he makes it seem like it’s something totally normal to do. And then he puts her in the car with another guy as if letting the other guy have his GF because he’s done with her. It’s so incredibly screwed up. I hate this guy. The main romance is also insta-love with "
