Join us for Episode 69 (nice!) of Dumpsterpiece Theater as we dive into "Surprised by Oxford," a pretentious journey through the hallowed halls of academia. Based on a true story, this faith-finding romantic drama follows Rose Reid as she perfects the art of pushing everyone away while simultaneously stalking her Christian crush.
Key Moments:
- Our ice queen protagonist brings a suitcase full of books to Oxford, because apparently Google doesn't exist in this anachronistic mess
- Kent, the world's most patient Christian boy, refuses to take a hint despite Caro's repeated attempts to Arctic-freeze him out
- Watch as our heroine has an emotional breakdown over an ink pen, earning herself a weekend retreat with the Dean (totally normal professor-student behavior)
- Endless scenes of pretentious intellectual discourse that sound like adults from Peanuts: "wah wah wah patriarchy wah wah"
- A faith-finding journey that involves more running away from emotional connections than actual spiritual revelation
- The mandatory rom-com spinning camera kiss finale, because apparently that's still a thing in 2023
Is it better or worse than "Finding You"? Let's just say Rose Reid was significantly more likable when she wasn't trying to philosophize her way through relationships.
