Perhaps it is because [a] it is seen as a vehicle for a handsome actor, because it is a love story or [c] because it doesn't feature any violence or 'dark' rock music.
These factors will never do in a horror forum.

hell no man !
some of my favorite movies are old school romantic comedies and i'm more than happy to chat about them here ..
i pity anyone (or just blame it on youth) who sticks to the horror genre alone - that would be pathetic.
Titanic was just a bloated mess for me .. i didnt approach the film not wanting to like it - i just let it happen and it really hit me the wrong way ...
i didnt have fun, or find it clever ...
i think i feel the way about it that you do about a lot of the UK stuff you feel misrepresents your part of the world ..
well - in a way - but different :p
like Miami Vice .. i know at least 3 britts who rushed out to get those boxsets (you zwoti and our old bearded pal) and absolutely dig those shows ... when i always found them to be an embarrasment.
(i did like The Sweeny though :D)
for a guy who values risk taking in film i'm suprised you liked this one at all !
