Selective memory. Plenty of movies do not require conflict before romance. La La Land, Being Again, Silver Linings Playbook, About Time, ... plenty of others.
Doing new things within the constraints of a genre is one of the marks of good art. All blues songs are the same just as all romantic comedies are the same. But Silver Linings Playbook was still a damn good movie.
That's interesting from a cultural perspective. Our feelings about fonts are deeply rooted in culture.
The poster they show is NOT the one I've seen. The poster I've seen has a handwriting typeface, and a diagram of a(n American) football play on it. I doubt that diagram would mean much in non-football-playing countries.

But the font they replaced it with (slab serif / ITC Lubalin) has "athletic" connotations in the US - it's a classic "varsity letter" font. Does that connotation carry over outside the US though?
Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. So why does this post (and its image) only refer to the movie as "Silver Linings"?
