Agh! The dreaded Romantic Comedy (tm).
For the most part I find them mindless, melodromatic dross. I had to endure "My Best Friend's Wedding" once and was staggered at how contrived and banal it was. I'd rather put my chumleys in a vice than sit through it again.
My checklist is as follows:
1) Does it feature J Lo?
2) Is the soundtrack by Wet Wet Wet?
3) Does Hugh Grant star?
4) Does the blurb feature the words "life". "changing" or "relationship"?
5) Has it won an award from Cosmopolitan?
Although, I did manage a smirk at Bridget Jones Dairy and When Harry Met Sally was faintly clever in a soppy sort of a way....
