wish things like this happened in real life


When this movie came out I was a college student working as a hotel maid and I hated my job with a passion. I always fantasized about a handsome and wealthy guest staying at our hotel and falling in love with me so I could quit my cuddy job. I know it sounds silly but it's wonderful to dream.

Yep, more like Cinderella.

Maybe things like that sometimes somewhere happen... The love is always unexpected, and can make a life into a fairy-tale, even only for a while...

In my other post, I probably should've also mentioned that this is how Hollywood suckers us to pay about $10 to watch movies like this, even if they are lacking. That dream of "happily ever after" is just too easy to fall for.

It is not a silly dream. Most girls would love to have a real life fairy tale type of romance happen in their life.

Well I hope you took your college degree and made more money than any stupid rich man.

Haha it feels as though you're insinuating something here.

But anyway, I know what you're saying OP. I thought this movie was kind of silly, but I've watched others and wished so many times what happened in the movie would happen to me. Real life is just disappointing and depressing.
