I was desperately trying to find something to watch last night, and quite unexpectedly came across the least appealing opening clause of a film synopsis:
Jilted by his girlfriend....
Since I'm sure somewhere in the world, this is an actual Netflix category, permit me to break it down:
Jilted. Dumped?
By. Drat! A preposition. Moving on.....
His. Yay! Male perspective!
Girlfriend. Girlfriend? Maybe this guy's bi, but it's almost as if Hollywood is letting straight folks make movies about themselves. At least the jilted by their girlfriends segment. Yawn.
I swear on the "souls" of a thousand Seacrests that there's nothing the least bit unusual with the rest of the synopsis, either.
