Frequently derided by many critics and “serious” movie fans, the “romantic comedy” subgenre has, is, and will forever be a cash cow for the studios. They’re relatively inexpensive to produce and are easy to recycle. The plot lines vary little, and all too often one production is indistinguishable from the next.

It wouldn’t be going out on a limb to state that the majority of people who love rom-coms are adult females and that most men view them unwillingly or by default. Rarely will you find men gathering in packs asking the question “So what do you think, dudes, will it be ‘You’ve Got Mail’ or ‘Love Actually’ tonight?”
