My favorite romantic comedy is 500 Days of Summer. This is one of my favorite movies, because it is almost an anti-romantic comedy. The movie is about a greeting card writer, Tom, and his romantic pursuit towards Summer. Summer pretty much lead Tom on throughout the movie and here we can see the waxing and waning of their relationship.
Generally, I do not think that romantic comedies are realistic, however, this particular one, i think, is pretty close. I feel that some people (including me) have had similar experiences similar to both characters - we're either obsessively chasing after someone or we just can't seem to commit and take things seriously.
My favorite romantic comedy would be "The Proposal" because of the clever idea of pretending to marry someone for your benefit. I do not think romantic comedies are realistic at all because the two main characters always end up with each other and get married which does not happen in real life. Not everyone get happy endings.
My boyfriend and I met each other through friends. We started out as friends for many years before we even became a couple. In romantic comedies, usually the main characters meet by chance encounters or they are put in an unpleasant situation that makes them realize they are meant for each other after something bad happens. And this usually all happens in a short amount of time.
My favorite Romantic Comedy is "My Best Friend's Girl." This is one of my favorite movies because of the way it is setup and maybe more due to the characters that play the roles and do it so well. A guy is supposed to take his best friends girl on a disaster date, but it works out all to well, and they end up together.
I personally like these kinda movies, because sometimes you can really relate to them. Personally however I dont get too attached or take things so seriously in the relationship area. Spring Break has sprung..!
My favorite romantic comedy is 50 first dates. This is my favorite one because,this guy(Adam Sandler) get this island girl(Drew barrymore) to fall in love with him over and over day after day. She leads him on an adventure everyday they meet.
Generally i think it is realistic beacuse that what love does. Love make you remind the person each day that you love them and make them know why.Love makes us to wounderful spectacular things for your signifigant other.
My favorite romantic comedy is "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days." In the movie, Matthew McConaughey made a bet to make a woman fall in love with him to win his company campaign. On the other hand, Kate Hudson worked for a magazine and she was assigned to write an article on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days." Both of the leading star met at the bar and ended up falling for each other. Romantic comedies are not realistic, they are all fantasy. Although, in real life opposite sex falls for each other, even if his/her partner is crazy. But I would not tolerate to be with a crazy person like Andie (Kate Hudson). I met my boyfriend through my relative. We begin as friends and later pursue into a I-Thou relationship. I would never date random stranger at that I met from the bar. Romantic comedies are just fun to watch to get a good laugh and it allows us fantasize the unrealistic romance.
Hi Teddybear21, I also like 50 first date. I agree with you that "love" is powerful. When we love someone we want to let them know and remind them that why we love them. *Have a wonderful spring break class*
My favorite romantic comedy would have to be The Break Up. To me half of the "funniness" was how unrealistic it seemed. I loved the extents they went to, to make each other jealous. I agreed on their point on why either one of them should have to move out, but I realistically I don't think many people would stay with their ex just to prove that point. I love romantic comedies and some are close to reality, but I would say most are pretty out there or at least I haven't seen those types of event occur. My ex and I met at work, and I don't think there was a whole lot of glory around it. It was just an average relationship, which would pretty boring to watch, I'm waiting for the day I have a movie moment.
My favorite romantic comedy is Basketball and love, because it was realistic and it was about true love. Most comedy's are not really realistic when it comes to love and relationships. Catina
BY sasha lopez My favorite romantic comedy is Hitch with will smith and eva mendez. I love how Will smith analyzes what women are communicating through body language, and even subconsciously. He is so skilled in reading women. i do believe this movie can be realistic, because it shows the challenges of true romanticism. Real life can be romantic if a couple makes a concious effort to make the relationship romantic. i believe my life with my partner can be romantic at times, but some romanticism in movies is an over exageration of real life. i think being romantic from both partners is important because it shows appreciation! :D
I love the romantic comedy The Break Up with Jennifer Aniston.... I think I like it because in the end they DONT get back together. My real life love story is very romantic and disfunctional and wonderful. Although my husband passed away at a VERY young age, I got to experience with him a wonderful kind of romance. Kim Ramm
My favorite romantic comedy is no string attached. This is one of my favorite romantic comedy because it is based on just having sex and no relationship. However they end up falling for each other and end uo more then just a meet up. they end up together in a happily every after. Ashton kuther plays the pretty boy who was generally in it for just sex but falls for a doctor, who only want sex.
Generally, These type of romantic relationship are realistic and unrealist because there are people out there just for "sex" but usually it doesn't end well. Unless of course they are monogunous like the movie was. I never had this experience nor do i ever want to
My favorite "rom com" is Made of Honor, because its shows what love should be about.I find certain aspects of romantic comedies to be real while some are over dramatic and unrealistic. I find my relationship with my bf to be like the characters in Made of honor in how close they are and realistic in every day situations. However the way characters approach situations in movies is hilarious because a lot of the time its not how most would.-Devin Kearns
My favorite romantic comedy is The Proposal. Sandra Bullock plays the role of a strict and heartless boss who no one likes. Ryan Reynolds plays the role of Sandra’s secretary whom he dislikes as well. Due to an expired visa Sandra faces deportation back to Canada and she convinces Ryan to fake a marriage with her in exchange for a promotion. A skeptical immigration officer tells the couple that he will watching them and will test them to see if they are a real couple. Ryan plans on leaving that weekend back home to Alaska for his grandmother’s birthday and Sandra goes with him. While there, the couple falls in love with each other after getting to know each other. I don’t think it is realistic that a couple falls in love through a fake marriage. However, I do think that is realistic that 2 people may start to care about each other after they learn things about each other that other people may not know.
My favorite romantic comedy is, Why Did I Get Married Too? It shows the lives of different married couples and their relationships.
I do think that some romantic comedies are realistic and some are not. However, I believe that any of it can happen in real life. As for my relationship, it is different from most romantic comedies because we are both really serious about our relationship and working through things in a way that would improve it. Whereas in most romantic comedies most problems or concerns are made into jokes or laughs and games are played.
Hey Catina, I really liked that movie Love and Basketball as well. It is one of my favorite movies and it us extremely touching and inspiring. Most importantly, it was very realistic!
My favorite romantic comedy would be "The Proposal" because the movie portrays two individuals faking a marriage for their own benefits. As many students have already picked this movie as their favorite rom com and wrote what the movie is about. I believe that part of this movie is very realistic. There are many people who get married to another person for a green card in exchange for money or something else and after receiving citizenship of that country, the couple may file for a divorce. It is unrealistic for both individuals to fall in love with each other in a process of faking a marriage. ~Adleen Prasad~
I agree with teddybear21, the movie first 50 dates is an absolute fantastic rom com movie and that it is important to let the other significant in your life know why they are a part of his/her life. By reminding them how much you care and love, makes the relationship even stronger. ~Adleen Prasad~ Hope everyone is enjoying their spring break!!!
I am a huge fan of Adam Sandler and i love his romantic comedy- 50 first dates. This movie is definetly unrealistic. I do not think guys have the heart and patients to bear such a situation. I mean trying to get a girl is one thing, but having her fall in love with you everyday. Basically their life will become a routine. So generally i do not think romantic comedies take place in reality, but are made to get a laugh at life's random moments.
In romantic comedies the display of trivial arguements between a couple usually alter into a chain of laughter, but in reality sometimes we let those trivial matters take the best of our relationship and I think every relationship should be treated with respect and during an arguement one should ask themselves is this debate more important then my relationship? saihra nagin
My favorite romantic comedy is "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" because it channels that depressed, inferiority feeling from real life, but a hundred times worse.
In real life, serious discussions are a lot harder to have than in movies. They don't do justice to the awkward silences, constant contemplation about what you're going to say or how they're going to react, or any of the uncomfortable parts of being with another person.
My favorite romantic story is Pride and Prejudice, it shows the fact that a person's reputation is not always what a person really is about and the unpridicted nature of love/hate transition. As a person, I could not say that if there is any unrealistic part of a romantic film since we only have one chance to experience life, there may be endless possibilities out there that we simply do not have chance to experience especially consider the nature of the romance: unpredictable.
My favorite romantic comedy would be "Just Friends." It is about two close friends, Chris and Jamie. Chris has liked her for a long time, but she considers him as a "friend." He gets made fun of by the students of the school, so he disappears for 10 years. Now he looks completely different and became successful. He ends up being back at his home town, which he finally sees Jamie again. This time around, he didn't want to be stuck in the friend zone so he tries his best to be more than friends.
I believe this can happen in real life. There are many people that got rejected back then, so they end up changing their whole life for the better hoping one day to meet that special person.
I LOVE these tips and ideas--I will watch all of them this summer! If we get done early, maybe we can watch a movie the last day of class from this AWESOME list!!!!!! Adam Sandler and Will Ferral (sp?) as well as Owen and Luke Wilson are faves of mine in this genre. Thanks for checking in gang--See you Tuesday ok? Sandra
My absolute favorite romantic comedy (I think it would be considered a romantic comedy) is "The Notebook." You laugh you cry, and then you cry some more.
I think some romantic comedies can be realistic but of course are stretched a bit.
My romantic situation is not at all like this and I do not think I would like to be in that situation. I don't think I could choose between two extremely handsome men who loved me more then anything. The closest my relationship gets to the movie is the fact that we have a long distance relationship. Thankfully technology allows us to communicate daily unlike on the movie.
My favorite romantic comedy is "I Love You Man." It's mostly comedy, but the story is centered around Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) and his fiancee Zoey (Rashida Jones). Not only is it about their upcoming wedding, but it is also about the love of two male best friends, which Peter finds in Sydney (played by Jason Segel). It's pretty sweet, and really funny.
I think the movie is pretty realistic, because a large portion of it is about friendship and how strong the "male bond" can be. It also has a lot of unrealistic parts to it, which are very unbelievable, but it makes for a great comedy setting.
My favorite romantic comedy is My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I do not consider a realistic romantic movie because there are certain scenes too exaggerated. However, living in a multicultural country I understand how hard and difficult it is to fall in love with a person who has a different culture than you. Watching this movie, I remembered some details from my weeding. For example, hispanic families love to invite almost every relative and friends as I observed in the greek culture. It means that sometimes fiction is closed to reality.
I have to agree with Vanessa. I also Love the movie The notebook. Its a romance and it shows how madly in love the two couples are even from such a young age. Romantic movies may not be real but I think that we can all get something out of it and its interesting at times and at time the same story plot gets boring. Its better when there is a twist in the movie.
My favorite romantic comedy A Walk to remember. This is the first movie that I watched when i first came to America, and I love it. Love and loss throughout two very young lives. Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan - two people who find themselves unexpectedly thrown together after a practical joke between Landon and his friends which leaves a boy in hospital, as punishment Landon is forced to partake in some after school activities including the spring play. The truth of the matter is Landon can't act, so he acquires the help of the beautiful but some what invisible Jamie you see Jamie doesn't need to be noticed, she is quiet and keeps her self to her self most of the time, Landon and his friends always make fun of Jamie as if it is a day to day task, but one day Landon brings up the courage to ask for her help with his lines, through trials and tribulations leading up to this play Land some how falls in love with the beautiful ministers daughter abandoning his friends to be with her Landon shares a true love with the girl, but a heart breaking secret lies between the couple, can they save their relationship and make all their dreams come true? For me, the romantic comedies usually are exaggerated and not realistic. Or may be I haven't seen any true love like this in my reality yet.
I have to agree with many people here that 50 first dates is one of the most romantic comedy. That's one of romatic movie can make me stay and watch to the end. I think it's realistic because their love is build form both of them for a long time. They guy accept his wife with herself.
I don't have many experience about romatic relationship. But I saw many people just want to have a relationship without understanding each other. They look not serious about that.
Romantic comedy is not in my interest. They all end up with the same story line. But I think the last romantic Comedy I enjoyed was Billy Madison. I enjoyed the humer they mixed in with his learning and i like how he was trying to seduce the hot school teacher while also entertaining his little school friends. Im not sure how this movie can relate to me other than going to school to achieve a goal, but I did enjoy this movie and still do. -Michael Arredondo
I like the movie, "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas". Cameron Dias and Ashton Kutcher meet in in Vegas and marry while they are drunk. They fight over millions of dollars. They fight like cats and dogs and can't get along. In the end they fall in love and stay together.
I think movies are far exagerated from reality because of the comedy. Some relationships do happen like this movie, hate eachother but love eachother. If I couldn't stand my wife, I wouldn't stay with her...
I really like Fever Pitch. Great movie about a guy who hasn't missed a Red Sox game since he was a young kid. He meets this woman who is a workaholic and is always engulfed in her work. Their relationship grows and he has to make tough decisions about missing a game for the first time in 25 years.
I feel as if this is the same in a lot of peoples love lives. We have to make certain sacrifices in order to make a relationship work.
I like Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. She is a resident at a hospital who is in a coma from an accident, he rents her apartment. She keeps showing up, he thinks he's seeing things. Her family decides to take her off life support, and if you want to know how it ends, you'll have to rent it.
I do not think RomComs are realistic. People fall in love after knowing each other for a few hours to a few days; generally these types of relationship rarely last. As for my own observations, the best love comes from two people who have formed a deep relationship based on friendship, mutual respect and trust, and then they nuture that relationship best they can everyday.
