The note about "based on" a true story seems a bit dubious. Romance movies are experiential, rather than about existing specific dramatised events, so it seems like it would be hard to separate romance movies based on events experienced by the writers or friends, from those that seem out of thin air or inspired by producer concepts (How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days) or thought experiments (13 Going on 30).

Speaking is How to a Lose a Guy..., any movie with a journalist seems to get the profession wrong. Is there a way to analyse which professions are mistreated the most by screenwriters who have no experience in other professions and only use their imagination or what they have seen from previous movies?
