“Bakes Muffins Part-Time 3 Days A Week But Lives In A 2500 Sq Ft Loft”: 40 Overdone Film Tropes That Audiences Are Tired Of Seeing

With perfect bodies, perfect hair, perfect makeup all the time. And the ones that don't have all of those are usually the comedic side kick

Male writers/actors/directors living out their fantasies.

And the women wake up with perfect hair and a full face of makeup and not a smudge in sight. I like how they always come downstairs first thing in the morning all made up and dressed, then they pour a cup of coffee. Like, how do you get yourself together before you've even had your coffee?

Not in UK shows, which is one reason I like them better. Also, in the UK, apparently 40-year-old men quite often date women within 2 years of 40 (instead of 21).

And the women look so much alike that the viewer can barely tell them apart.

And the witnesses remembering every single detail from 20 years ago!

And the "retired" cop is in tip top shape despite being unemployed for X amount of years

Well, I don't know. I mean, Trump is there in all his shining glory and no one seems to have put him away yet! What does it take to take down a criminal?

My all-time favorite questionable act-- Why, when the guy runs out of bullets in his handgun, does he throw the gun at the other guy? WTF? Does he think he can bounce the gun off the other guy's head? I just want to say "Fake it, man! Run! Maybe the bad guy doesn't KNOW you're out of ammo!"

Love Bruce Willis

And someone super rich and super gorgeous falls in love with them

to be fair, this was cinderella so she's supposed to be the servant of a rich house in this movie

Isn't this how it is in America? I thought people with minimum wage jobs can just afford nice apartments because of America=better. Joking aside, when I was way younger it seemed real to me, not knowing any better.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S ?

I remember a show making fun of smart people where a struggling actress/waitress could afford a single bedroom in a building where two PhD physicists shared a two bedroom.

"jackass womanizer with chlamydia." BWAHAHA!!!!

This is why I can't watch romcoms. Plus, rolling my eyes that hard gives me a headache.

NOPE

But only after he (usually, sometimes she) royally screws up before the finale and he (always he) has to make the grand gesture to win her back.

Sounds like the intro to "The Odd Couple".

Curly hair with glasses = nerdy, straight hair, no glasses = hot (I have curly hair and I wear glasses, so... 🤣🤣🤣)

And these movies promote the stereotype that glasses and big hair makes people ugly and unworthy

Anne Hathaway is sooooooo pretty

To be fair, they exist. I have a friend like that. Hot as hell, did study some crazy science s**t but because she doesn't care she doesn't dress well, doesn't maintain her hair, is so focused on the science that she has not much developed social skills and doesn't radiate that feminine energy you'd expect. It takes quite some time to realise how beautiful she actually is / can be. And you have those people in every lab, if you don't pay attention you don't notice their beauty because they don't put in any effort in their appearance. But: take them to a stylist, do their hair, dress them nice and find a person that can crack their seriousness and you have exactly what happens in movies... so I love seeing that in movies because it's so close to life for me.

Nope

This one triggers me badly. I was a SAH dad for 3 years with a new born. I have more time so deal with the kids more. So yeah, I get triggered.

you see that a lot in TV adverts today- the "useless dad" and the "smart wife" image..
