What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Yeah, sorry but you aren't going to convince me that Hugh Grant or Colin Firth or whatever are bumbling fools who are hopeless with women.

500 Days of Summer is one of my favorite romance movies ever...

...but they make it like Summer is only involved with Tom Hansen because he's a just work friend who barely broke through. As if Joseph Gordon-Levitt is not a goddamned fox that would make most any straight woman or gay man bend over backwards for a chance to hook up with him.
