Ever After is one of my favorite movies because it is a Cinderella story. The main character, Danielle, is a servant who disguises herself as a noble to save another servant's life. In the process of saving the servant's life, she meets Henry, the prince, who is captivated by her personality and passion. Through spending time together, they get to know each other and fall deeply in love with one another. He finds out that she is not a noble, so their relationship ends for the moment. After she is sold to another master, he realizes that he is still in love with her and goes to find her. They marry and live happily ever after.

1. Reisswhey Theory of Love
Ever After definitely follows this theory because they first get to know each other by conversing at the lake and going on dates at the library. They talk about their desires; the prince tells her that he does not want to be king because that will only be his identity. They have a mutual dependency because they anticipate being in each others presence. They fulfill each others personality because they are different, but their love for each other is greater than their different social statuses.

2. Lee's Six Styles of Love
Danielle and Henry's relationship is a storge kind of love. This love is peaceful and affectionate based on mutual respect. This really becomes their love at the end of the movie. He is so free to be himself around her which makes him realize his true identity. She has an unfailing love because she does stop loving him even after he yells at her for deceiving him and ending their relationship.

Wedding Crashers

Wedding Crashers is a comedy which follows two bachelor/friends John and Jeremy (played by Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn) who attend random weddings in hopes of meeting girls. When attending these wedding's neither character has the intention of falling in love but both friends end up doing just that. At one of the wedding's they attend they manage to get invited to spend the weekend with the bride's family pretending to be acquaintances. John and Jeremy are introduced to two sisters of the bride Gloria and Claire. But while managing to trick everyone around them about who they really are they cannot deny themselves about the way they feel about the sisters they have met. 

Lee's Style of Love- Mania

In "Mania" style of love is expressed as being possessive and needy of the other person. This type of love is generated through a false sense and fear of rejection by the other person. So behavior is seen as erratic and manic in order to ensure that the feeling of love from the other person will stay. 

In the Movie the Wedding Crasher's Jeremy catches the eye of one of the sister's Claire, who is wooed by his words. Although he just wants to sleep with her she falls in love with his supposed vulnerability and as the weekend progresses she becomes sexually obsessed with him and feels the need to be with him at all times, and this is expressed in spontaneous behavior by her throughout the movie where she manages to show up in the most unlikeliest of places. She also gets very upset and maniacal if she feels he does not care about her or he hints that he does not want to be with her. In the end Jeremy realizes he cares about Claire and enjoys the "Mania" love she expresses towards him. 

Steinberg's triangular theory of love- Romantic Love

Romantic love in the context of Steinberg's triangular theory is a love characterized as having great amounts of passion and intimacy with little commitment. 

In the case of the love found between John and Gloria their love began by getting to know each other over the family weekend getaway. Although Gloria is engaged to get married she is unsure about it and confides in John and throughout the weekend they continue to talk and get to know each other this way. Although it was not the intention of either party involved a connection ensues between John and Gloria throughout the weekend. The bonding which developed between them also involved passion and the more they talked and bonded the more attracted they were to one another which lead to romantic love between them. John confessed his feelings to Gloria on Jeremy and Claire's wedding and Gloria felt the same way so she left her fiancée for John. 

Disney's UP

The computer animated film UP focuses around the adventure of Carl and a Wilderness Explorer named Russell but the purpose of their adventure is because of a long time promise between Carl and his deceased wife Ellie to go to a Lost Land in South America. The love between Carl and Ellie is only showed in the beginning of the film but it is very detailed and the audience can clearly see the love between the two characters and how their love story is told in chronological order of meeting at a young age, getting married, growing old together, etc.

For the first theory that would best explain their love story would be Reiss's Wheel Theory that describes four stages of love: (1) Rapport, (2) Self-Revelation, (3) Mutual Dependency, (4) Personality need fulfillment. The wheel can go in any direction, stop at any time and couple can go in and out of the wheel or stop and stay at a certain stage, in the case of Carl and Ellie they were old school and went through every stage in the Wheel Theory and in chronological order. They both met when they were kids since they were from the same neighborhood so they were able to play with each other, even if Ellie was more aggressive and outgoing while Carl was shy, they later on fell in love and got married, bought a house together -they had inside jokes and Ellie began to talk about her dreams of going to the Lost Land, finally when they grew old together, they began to depend on each other for support and once Ellie passed away Carl was left alone physically and emotionally and felt as though he needed to fulfill Ellie's dream of going to the Lost Land.

The second theory that best represents the love story of UP would be Lee's Style of Loving: Storge (companionate love) which is almost identical to the love of Ellie and Carl where they were just soul mates and their love did not have extreme highs and lows, it was very peaceful and they cared about each other very much, took care of one another and Carl fulfilled a life long dream of Ellie's when she passed away by going on an adventure to find the Lost Land and add it into their photo album of memories.
