All this teary talk of Nora Ephron (seriously, I've spent most of this day pinning her best quotes on Pinterest) has me thinking about chick flicks, and what we love about them.

Not many people can really nail the true-to-life rom-com like Nora did--but we're a forgiving moviegoing bunch, I think, and more often than not, we excuse unrealistic behavior in romantic comedies.

Still, it has to be said, some of this stuff neva, eva happens--unless you tell me otherwise:

Answering the phone without saying hello, and hanging it up without saying goodbye. (This one goes for all people in movies.)

Going bonkers over a bouquet. (Really. You might get that one outlier at a wedding who's had six chardonnays and a wild look in her eye all night. But two of 'em?)
