Love Story/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Glurge: Most of the movie, really, but especially the (in)famous line from the film used as the page quote.
  • It Was His Sled: Jenny dies
  • Tear Jerker: One of the most classic film examples
  • Values Dissonance: When Jenny is first discovered to be sick, the doctor tells her husband, who decides that neither he nor the doctor are going to tell her. She finds out later anyways of course, but nobody ever calls Oliver or the doctor on concealing her condition from her.
    • Or her doctor for violating patient confidentiality.
    • For that matter, when Oliver resigns himself to asking his father for money for treatment, he prefers to let the older man think he got some other girl in trouble and needs it for a supposed abortion, rather than admit the truth about Jenny's illness.
