Shakespeare in Love
Did you know that Shakespeare in Love won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1998? For a love story that was neither convincing nor particularly well-scripted, this came as a surprise to most. Although it's supposed to mirror the relationship between Romeo and Juliet, it left a lot to be desired.
Titanic
Some critics think that the setting of the Titanic was way too cheesy, even for a romance movie. It's shot extremely well, but the acting is a bit too distant from how real people interact with one another. Titanic feels like it's a heavily stylized play version of the movie it's supposed to be. It totally doesn't deserve the praise it's gotten.
