Wolfwood Rantz : on romantic comedies
by Jerimiah Wolfwood on Aug.27, 2009, under Movies
Just an old fashion ranting running away with me.
This last weekend I went to the movies with a group of friends to see Post Grad. After leaving, one of my friends complained that it was too predictable.
I responded by telling her that it was a romantic comedy, otherwise known as, the most predictable film genre this side of the action film.
I mean really 65% of Rom-Com’s are
- step 1 boy meets girl
- step 2 boy falls in love with girl
- step 3 boy loses girl
- step 4 boy gets girl back, and finally
- step 5 happily ever after
I would like to state the fact that this is a genre I am a fan of.
Movies such as Dan in Real Life, Music and Lyrics, and Intolerable Cruelty are some good times.
But who are we kidding? We all knew how these movies would end the moment we bought our tickets.
Now does this mean I will stop watching, hell no! Not when I have things like Date Night, starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey, to look forward to. But do I kid myself into thinking that the ending will surprise me? Not really.
As always - Jerimiah Wolfwood
P.S. I would like to give special mention to the movies Love Actually and Last Chance Harvey though neither of these is really a romantic comedy they are really worth your time.
P.P.S. I ask everyone who reads this please leave a comment with you favorite romantic comedy.
