Now, take that and add Love Steroids and the most romantic scenery you can imagine, you get this movie. Hello Everybody, my name is John Ng and today we will be reviewing the film, Forget Paris. Let's get Started.      Overall the theme of the movie revolves around the theme of love or the lack there of. As portrayed by most movies, they portray the romantic courting stage of love but not what happens after. The weight-gaining, stress inducing, hair-pulling marriage is often left out after the "Happily Ever Afters".
