8 Movie Grand Gestures That Are Awkward In Real Life

Sneaking into someone’s work

The scene in “Love Actually” where Jamie proposes to Aurelia at the restaurant she works at, comes to mind. They don’t speak the same language and have never had an actual conversation. They knew each other for, like, three weeks. But all of that is beside the point (though, also very problematic). This often happens in movies when a guy either interrupts someone’s work day to give a grand speech in front of everyone, or even convinces the receptionist to let him hide in the woman’s office and wait to surprise her. These are places of business. They don’t care if some man is certain that some woman who he A) barely knows or B) recently dumped him believes that woman is the love of his life. They can handle that after business hours. If a receptionist let some strange man into my office to surprise me, I’d consider having them fired. Even if I did know the guy. There have to be security protocols in place.
