Romantic Comedies

Today I would like to cover some of my favorite romantic comedies.
First off all I would like to define a romantic comedy as any movie that's plot consists of a romantic relationship coupled with comedy, usually physical to lighten the mood.


To start off I would like to cover "How to lose a guy in 10 days." It follows the story of Andy, a writer, who sets of to find and then LOSE a guy in 10 days. This perfect guy, Ben , turns up. However, he happens to be trying to make her fall in love with HIM. Complications ensue, including nick-names and a "love fern".
 

Secondly, there is "Bridget Jones' Diary". Considered the ultimate chick flick, the movie, which consists of a woman, Bridget, getting her life together, includes a more estrogen brand of humor, different from the slapstick usually found in rom coms.


Lastly, I'll talk about "What Women Want". Ironically, The main character of this movie is a man. He thinks he is he perfect man until he has an accident. He then is able to hear women's thoughts. This turns into all sorts of shenanigans.


Basically all romantic comedies follow the same formula. Boy meets girl. Complications arise. Complications are settled. Life lesson is learned. They live happily ever after.

As cliche as Romantic comedies are, I'm addicted.
