Are you falling in love with the romantic comedy genre?
Maybe it’s just because I’m writing this article around Valentine’s Day, but I find there are not many more comforting movie experiences than watching a good romantic comedy. You get the laughs, you get the romance, and there’s almost always a happy ending.
While they really broke out in the 1990s, comedy and romance have been two genres that have been woven together over the course of Hollywood history. Movies like Bringing Up Baby and It Happened One Night gave way to The Apartment and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In the 90s, we saw classics like When Harry Met Sally, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and There’s Something About Mary.
Now you have films like Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Set It Up, and the recent Marry Me.
