Figured it was an old enough Romance that it wouldnt be as degenerate as more recent movies. Jokes on me, I gave up halfway in.

Female lead meets handsome, wealthy, high status, surprisingly stable, professional athlete while she's broken down on the side of the road. She promptly claims she doesnt need help and tells him off. As soon as the tow truck driver reveals he's high status, she hops in his car and drives off with him.

She then starts "casually" seeing him (weekend sex romps) whenever he's in town for a few days. He suggests spending more time together and actually dating and she is butthurt because str0nk indupendent woman.

She realizes THAT was stupid and shows up at his house on the far end of the country unannounced (!), flips out on him (!!), and he apologizes for calling her to suggest dating for reals...once (!?!?!). WTFlying noodle spine batman.

Female lead writes braindead articles about loofahs and skin care for womens magazines. And the male lead who's repeatedly shown to be strategically minded, financially savvy, and intellectual READS this happy horseshit in front of his coworkers.

Sometime later she calls up said athlete because her daughter (404 father not found) has run away from her to hang out with her druggie father because "he's stoned 90% of the time and doesnt care what the daughter does". Athlete swoops in to the rescue to go collect said daughter, fly her first class back to her stronk indupendent mother, and they play board games or some hallmark happy horseshit.

Oh, and mommy dearest is dumping the athlete to move to London to be an EDITOR (still nobody is raising the kid)

NOWHERE does reality intrude for the noodle-spined male lead to ask obvious questions such as:

1) You had a child at 16 with a drug addict, how is your decision making that poor?

2) Where do you get off being erratic and pushing a literal Hollywood miracle of an athletic, wealthy, high status, and NICE man away? You ungrateful ho-bag.

3) Who, exactly, is watching your daughter when you're on multi-day sexscapades? The neglectful drug addict you made a child with?!?

4) Why would any man go near you when you parent your child so badly that she runs away to overtly neglectful stoner father?

5) Why would a very high status man date str0nk indupendent woman who makes moronic decisions, neglects children, writes worthless tripe, and is a drama queen to boot? A literal average woman would be an improvement!

It’s a terrible film for those and many other reasons.

It almost seems like an “answer” to the film Bull Durham, which some saw as misogynistic, wherein Susan Sarandon built her entire whore life around pleasing and supporting baseball players with her naughty bits.

This film went the other way to portray Stronk Indypennant Womyn as not really knowing or caring about the baseball player’s silly, meaningless accomplishments, especially compared to her own career and life. And it was a “your time is over; my time is now,” movie.

Of course, the bitch herself was insufferable, either way, and they managed to make Kelly Preston, an attractive woman in her own right, somehow very unattractive.

A little legwork reveals that the writer of this shitpile just so happened to be the writer on another gem, The Woman King, which explains pretty much everything.
