Love springs eternal. There’s nothing like a healthy relationship built on trust, respect, and communication. The movies I chose are all but that! The characters face challenges during their hilarious pursuit of romantic entanglements. Not only the young can be subjected to mishaps and misdirection, but the mature and wise can also endure the same.
You are never too old to find that extraordinary person. The films below prove that love is ageless. Grab your substantial beautiful bowl of popcorn and enjoy the flicks!
