This one seems pretty well-founded to me.

I genuinely don't know how you can look at the plot of the movie and say that the moral is that romantic love is the solution to Bill Murray's problems. it is a romantic comedy, so the happy ending obviously includes the main romantic couple getting together. But the romantic relationship isn't the solution in itself.

The thing about the romance plot is that Andie MacDowell is smart and knows all of Murray's tricks and is not going to fall for any of them. The fact that MacDowell ultimately falls for Murray is a marker of the progress that he has made as a person. Her falling for him is not the solution, per se. It's something that is only possible because he has already solved his deeper underlying problems. And we know this because Murray spends a significant portion of the movie acting as if romantic love is the solution. And it fails. It doesn't work. It unambiguously is *not* the solution.

It's only when Murray starts genuinely, selflessly helping the town, and when he learns his lessons about the meaning of happiness and caring for others and so on, that MacDowell actually does fall for him and the curse is lifted.

Agreed: very well summarized!
