8 Movie Grand Gestures That Are Awkward In Real Life

Stopping them at the airport

In “The Wedding Singer,” this gesture gets as far as the actual flight, where Adam Sandler serenades Drew Barrymore on the plane, while she’s en-route to elope with another guy. Please refer to the last slide for how very problematic it is to jump relationships like that. But, beyond that, stopping someone from getting onto a plane, or joining them on the plane, is a very common movie ending. Can we back up for a moment and talk about how incredibly expensive it is to buy a plane ticket for a flight that’s leaving…now-ish? That would literally bankrupt some individuals. And what about the one who is being chased. They’re supposed to abandon the flight they paid so much for? Just logistically speaking, it would have made so much more sense if this big, life-changing speech had been made before someone put down their credit card for this non-stop flight to Hawaii with Delta Airlines.
