Are these grand gestures in romance films cute or weird?
These would either pull your heart strings or make you say, "Blah!"
We all love a good romcom, but like many great moments in films, if you took some scenes out of the movie and watched it happen in real life, you might roll your eyes a little bit at the cheesiness of it. Imagine walking out onto the deck of the Titanic and seeing Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet embracing at the front of the ship, pretending to fly and smooching it up? That'd be weird.
In this quiz, we're stacking up some of the bigger grand romantic gestures in film and it's your job to tell us if, out of context, they're still cute, or just plain weird.
