The article for 27 Dresses? That’s nothing compared to how Tess treats her. She destroys their mother’s wedding dress while fully aware that it is Jane’s dream to wear her mother’s dress to her own wedding. Tess lies to Jane’s boss about who she is and demands that Jane keep the lies going so she can marry the guy. And when the article is published Tess has no support for Jane. She just accuses her of sabotaging her wedding. The article is minor. The way Tess disrespects Jane is the bigger betrayal.

Though I am with you in feeling frustrated that it's a possibility. I think the sister has more growing up to do before she should get into another relationship.
My heart always breaks when Emma Thompson cries quietly in the bedroom so that the kids won't hear her. Although it's ambiguous whether Harry actually physically cheated on Karen with Mia or not, one of the screenwriters confirmed years later that he did, and while he and Karen stay together, they're not as happy as they once were.

He was having an emotional affair regardless of what they'd done physically. I think if the movie was made in 2022, they'd have included plenty of raunchy texts between Alan Rickman & the office girl, just to drive that point home.
It's interesting to note that as Juno matures, Mark actually regresses, since Juno made him feel like a teenager again. Luckily, Juno is horrified when Mark announces that he plans to leave Vanessa to chase his teenage dream. I'm glad that they didn't try to romanticise Adult/teenage relationships.

Yes. Juno thinks of him as a cool adult and also a friend and he sees them two as equal people (of around the same age, in his opinion) and is into her. He ends up literally grooming a minor because of his own crisis of growing up. He is so gross and out of touch with reality. The wife, at first, seems like a nagging b*tch, but when he dances with Juno and tries to kiss her, and Juno gives the baby to the wife, adult viewers see the wife in a totally new light. She is a real grown up woman, whose wish has been for a long time to have a child, and whose marriage happened to be falling apart at the same time. She is the most normal character in the movie. Her seemed "nagging" was actually him not being an equal adult partner to her, expecting her to be the only adult in the relationship. I've experienced/seen all of these mindsets and relationships irl. This movie is so great. I first saw it as a teen and it was fine, but now as an adult with some actual life experience... it hits different.
Emma Thompson´s crying scene in love actually is the best acting performance I have ever seen! It breaks your heart!
*HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU* : Anna knew Ben was married and she still became involved with him. So if she knew he was married ... why should I feel sorry for her, exactly? The only one I feel bad for in this scenario is Janine. She's the only one who has the right to feel betrayed, seeing as *she* is the one whose husband was sleeping with Anna.

What gets me in "Love Actually" is that the Joni Mitchell CD was actually a truly sweet gift, a sign that he listened to her earlier and loves/appreciates her quirkiness. But then he had to go and ruin it all by responding to Mia's flirtations, betraying his wife (and on top of it all, buying that stupid necklace for another woman). Should have listened to Rufus when you had the chance, Harry
What about Julianne sabotaging Kimmie and Michael's wedding in My Best Friend's Wedding. That was unforgivable. I felt bad for Kimmie. She honestly did nothing wrong. She was the victim here. Julianne kept on sabotaging the wedding hoping that Michael wouldn't marry Kimmie. In the end Julianne didn't get the guy. It just shows you that when you're late, you're late and bad behaviour should not be rewarded.

Oh and another thing it took Julianne a decade to know that Michael was the one but it took Kimmie nothing but a few months. Julianne dragged her feet for far too long. There was even a point in the movie where Michael expressed doubts about the marriage and that was Julianne's moment to say something but she didn't. That was when Michael knew.
I feel like the betrayal from 27 Dresses doesn’t even compare the betrayals on the rest of the list. I would put the betrayal from In Her Shoes where the protagonist’s sister sleeps with her sister’s guy after a fight.

In the book version of Something Borrowed, Darcy was a crappy friend and knew that Rachel liked Dex. Darcy never really loved Dex she just liked the idea of being the perfect couple. Although sleeping with another person's significant other is wrong. Darcy had it coming. The movie really down plays how crappy was to Rachel and that Dex loved Rachel from the beginning and the only reason that he started dating Darcy was bc he didn't know Rachel loved him, too.

Not a rom com but the biggest A hole in movie history imo belongs to: Col. Tavington in the Patriot. He killed two of Benjamin martins sons, one right after he was married. He admits enjoying killing him to his father's face, and that was his youngest child about 10. And he shot the kid right in front of everyone. He killed Gabriels wife, along with innocent town people for supporting Benjamin by traping them in a church then setting it out fire. And that is just one day after Benjamin's son got married only to lose his wife in that church then Tavington kills Gabriel himself. He ordered his troops to terrorize the town even killing kids as a message for the heros to back off. Personally he deserved to die Far worse then he did. But I never do much emotion and hate towards a movie character as I did him. What an amazing actor.
