Most of the time, unless it's a film about love or sex, romance is just shoehorned in there for no reason. I think the only genre of film that should be allowed to do that is comedy. Otherwise it seems like lazy story telling, especially in action movies.
If we want porn, we have the Internet in our hands. So random sex scenes make no sense.
Why would we want barely formed romance sub plots?
Film should be used as a tool to gain insight into these experiences, of which some of the more profound might be seduction, companionship, and loss.
