Romantic Comedy

Romantic Comedy is the only genre I got to when I'm clueless as to what I want to watch. These types of movies never let me down and always entertain me without getting me depressed. The definition of a romantic comedy is: a humorous movie about a love story that ends happily. Even in the definition it says it has to have a happy ending. Many people believe these are the first date kind of movies that get the conversation going. Nobody wants to see a sad, angry, or depressing movie when they are trying to get to know each other. Romantic comedies are the movies that seem to get the most hype from the girl section while gangster and sport are along for the guys. So as always I'm going to start of with the top three then name my own personal favorite.

The number one on the list for romantic comedies is "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". This movie made over 241 Million since its debut. It is about a woman who lives in America with her very Greek family. All through life she was the ugly duckling shadowing her sibling's footsteps and not caring to much about her looks. While working at her father's restaurant, she waits on a very handsome man. This sparks something in her to want to better herself. She enrolls in college and learns how to hype up her look to catch the eyes of the handsome customer she once waited on. The trail she winds up on and the diversity of his background mixed with hers show the viewer how a real romantic comedy should be made!

The second movie on the list is "What Women Want", starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. This movie shows guys what it's like to be in a girls shoesfor a little while. After a freak accident Nick (Mel) is able to hear women's thoughts. He hears the deep dark dirty secrets of some and the painful secrets of others. He of course uses theses to better his standing with one women imparticular, Darcy (Helen) who got a promotion over him. He sets his sights on her to sell her ideas as his own. In his hurry he lets love get in the way and the story just builds on itself.

The third movie on the list is "Hitch". In the movie he is better known as the date doctor. If women have an issue finding love they call him up and he sets them up like a match made in heaven. Of course some women are skeptical and don't believe in such a man, but by the end of this movie you will hope there is such a man. The one client you follow throughout the movie is an overweight financial consultant, Albert, who has set his eyes on the very powerful Allegra Cole. With Hitch's help can he win her over? While albert is trying to win over Allegra the date doctor has met someone too. Will His own tactics work to get him the woman of his dreams and get rid of the reputation Hitch built for himself? The movie is funny and has a way to make the saddest person happy.

My favorite romantic comedy is by far "The Proposal". The big bad boss, Margaret, of the office is used to things going her way and scaring people . into working. When the guys above her bring the fact of her work visa is expired she comes up with a plan at the moments noticeHer assistant, Andrew, finds himself "engaged" to save his bosses job. The catch? He hates her just like everyone at the office. Someone else has it out for her too, the INS agent assigned to her. To prove the marriage is real Margaret goes on a family vacation with Andrew. The vacation will show just how strong their ties are. This movie is a brand new one out in 2009 and is full of fun and unexpected events.
