8 Inherently Annoying Movies That Everyone You Know Seems To Love

6. The Notebook

If you are brave enough to admit that you don't like The Notebook, then you're in a real minority, because people know better than to admit to something like that. This is that movie that everyone you know endlessly swoons over and thinks is one of the most romantic films ever rendered on celluloid - your girlfriend loves it, your girlfriend's friends love it, if you happen to be a girlfriend you also definitely love it, and your best friend - be they male or female, plant, animal or mineral - also loves it. Lots. If you didn't get the memo, everybody loves this movie, then. Make the mistake of telling somebody you haven't seen it, and their reply will almost always be something along the lines of "You haven't seen The Notebook?" And the tone of voice that goes along with that sentence is always unmistakable: it's disgust. It's pity. It's contempt. If that wasn't already annoying enough (and it is), it's all for a movie that really isn't all that great; yes, the concept is nice in theory and Ryan Gosling is lovely, but that's about it. The movie feels rushed in the first half as it sets up the romance, and then lays on too much sentiment in the second half. It's cliched, filled with bad actors, cheesy and a bit contrived, made even more inherently annoying because everyone endlessly gushes over it.
