200 love lessons from the movies [electronic resource] : staying moonstruck for life / Leslie C. Halpern.

"Romantic movies--no matter how fluffy or fanciful--always contain some kernel of truth about real-life love. These films are fictionalized accounts of the collective romantic experiences of everyone involved in the filmmaking process, including the screenwriter, director, producer, cinematographer and actors. This is why the average moviegoer can learn at least a small lesson about love if she pays attention to her favorite romantic films. Now, in her new book, 200 LOVE LESSONS FROM THE MOVIES, journalist and author Leslie C. Halpern helps make our favorite romantic movies even more enjoyable by showing us the nugget of relationship wisdom in them and how they can be applied to our own love lives. Whether the movie features an unforgettable date (Diner), an odd meeting place (Four Weddings and a Funeral), or a particularly stormy breakup (War of the Roses), Halpern steers the reader toward a valuable lesson to be learned from each.
