Love Actually
Love Actually has some high highs and some low lows, but I can't help but get wrapped up into Richard Curtis's world every time.
Dan in Real Life
Dan in Real Life is a great, sweet film that should appeal to everyone. The performances are very down-to-earth, and although the plot becomes predictable, it plays out in a naturalistic way.
The Wedding Planner
If someone doesn't enjoy the genre of rom-com, I wouldn't be surprised if they pointed to The Wedding Planner as their reason why.
13 Going on 30
Although 13 Going on 30 is not the strongest supernatural "I wish I was..." film out there, it knows that its main objective is to have a good time.
Runaway Bride
This is not nearly Garry Marshall's best film, nor is it his worst. But you can't help but feel like he let Richard Gere and Roberts do all the heavy lifting.
Crazy Rich Asians
Crazy Rich Asians is a vibrant spectacle that despite having a compelling cultural twist to the rom-com genre, falls prey to predictable beats and tropes.
Harold and Maude
Harold and Maude is such a morbid, yet sweet, tale about love, life and death.
The American President
It could be easy to get wrapped up in the implausibility of The American President's story, but Aaron Sorkin's script paints a beautiful fairy tale with a behind-the-scenes look of politics as the driving force.
There’s Something About Mary
No matter how many times you've seen There’s Something About Mary, it makes you both shake your head and crack up at the same time.
Some Kind of Wonderful
Some Kind of Wonderful would be a whole lot better if Eric Stoltz was interesting in the slightest.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
My Big Fat Greek Wedding possesses the charm and warm feelings that are invoked with such things as family, weddings and culture. Yet, watching it now, you can't help but wonder what all the fuss was about.
Happiness for Beginners
Netflix's original films tend to verge into Hallmark movie territory and Happiness for Beginners is a shining example of that. It has recognizable, good talent, with a solid premise, yet takes the easy road in simplifying the feelings it wants to invoke.
Palm Springs
Palm Springs is my favorite type of movie. It's a romantic comedy that blends laughs, science fiction and thoughtfulness perfectly.
Fever Pitch
I completely understand why Fever Pitch is reviled by most Boston Red Sox fans, but it doesn't take away from the fact that this movie points out some pretty funny aspects of sports fandom.
While You Were Sleeping
Although the plot of While You Were Sleeping is utterly ridiculous, director Jon Turteltaub and the rest of the producers at least knew how to cast this movie.
Two Weeks Notice
Two Weeks Notice would be completely unforgettable if it wasn't for the performances between Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock.
Notting Hill
I was a bit taken aback by how much I loved Notting Hill. The screenplay by Richard Curtis is masterful, lovely and above all, simple.
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Does Four Weddings and a Funeral have the most unlikeable female protagonist in the rom-com genre?
