The "big lie" of romance films is the way the films frame love and relationships to be viewed at as better than being alone. Although I didn't necessarily like "The Break-up" starring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, I thought it was more satisfying when the couple didn't get back together in the end. It was a real representation of real relationships and presented an alternative to the "happily ever after" narrative.
