Are Romantic Comedies dead?

[livid]

The correct question is: you watched Twilight?

[Hobo]

Because you're a sociopath?

[jase12881]

You were high?

[Summers]

Twilight haters are legit worse than the films.

The Five Year Engagement was pretty good...

The Five Year Engagement was pretty good...

Agreed.

Oh I forgot about that one! I need to see it. You guys are great. I thought there were no good ones left

[livid]

I still haven't seen it but talking about it made me realize that Jason Segel might be the guy to go to for quality ones these days. I know that got good reviews and then Forgetting Sarah Marshall was good, too.

I might get flak for this, but I also enjoyed This Means War, with Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. I kind of think movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up are romantic comedies disguised as raunchy comedies.

[livid]

I didn't hate it but it wasn't super great, either. You could tell that Pine and Hardy were having fun not being so serious all the time, though, so that led to most of the fun.

EDIT: Yeah, Apatow's stuff are definitely romantic comedies.

That article reminded me of 500 Days of Summer and how fucking awesome and sad it was. I need to re-watch that again. Plus, I love Zooey.

Watch Science of Sleep. That's quite entertaining.
