romantic comdies
Friday, December 30, 2005



After catching 'How to lose a guy in ten days' two days ago on dvd rental, I came to realise how much girls love a good romantic comedy. Then again, all and any romantic comedy IS good.. And this, led me to my next self-asked-self-answered question..

Why are romantic comedies so irresistable?(at least to girls..)

What does romantic comedies mean? They are comedies..which progress in the sense of romance. Yeah... Actually, romantic comedies are modern fairytales. Are they not? Doesn't 'happily ever after' ring a bell? Sure there are different obstacles to overcome.. Gone are the cruel stepmother, or the evil witch. Instead of the seven dwarfs as your friends, you get the plastics.. All in all, romantic comedies hold a hope for every girl (no matter how much she denies)- For a prince charming to sweep her off her feet and they shall live happily ever after.




"You do like romantic comedies, don't you?"

"Nah..what nonsense! They are for despo and sappy peeps!! I'm a strong independent woman!!"

"C'mon..admit it.. You DO!"

"Aww..alright..I do..I do hope for a prince charming..Not shrek though.."

And here are some of my all-time favourites..(in no particular order)


Starring, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere..


Starring, Hugh Grant..and Julia Roberts..(again)
No way! Julia again..Okay..I'm not a fan of Julia, but a fan of Rom-com..which made me a fan of Julia..(she don't only do rom-com...Erin Brockovich is a damn good movie!!)

Hmm...This one is a tad corny..But I still love it!! Chad michael Murray made it much harder to resist..but the hairstyle that he had on 'freaky friday'? Didn't work for me at all..

Ewww!!!

Ahh.. We all know J.Lo can't act for nuts, but this isn't about her!! It's cause it's a rom-com!! And there's Matthew McConaughey!!

Aww... A Drew Barrymore one.. Definitely a rom-com if it isn't E.T. or Charlie's Angels..This girl has no qualms about getting all fugly and spoiling her image in the movie. Come to think of it, lead actresses of rom-com don't mind de-glaming themselves. It's as if they are trying to transform themselves like regular plain janes. But baby, women in real life aren't so...you get my idea. Exaggerations..

Alright, take a break (have a kit-kat) lady.

I just thought this picture is damn fhilarious..She discovers she has real boobs!!

Guys.. you may be thinking..What's the fuss about fairytales?? Wake up la..still dreaming about white horse prince charming.. Prince Charming so what?? Can survive on his looks meh? Or you want to eat the white horse for the rest of your life?? Please lor..Prince Charming not equal good life. They are extinct!

"Oh honey..they are talking about rom-com again..!"

But you see, this is just our little fantasy..just like guys' fantasies about Jessica Alba.

There's just something about the gaze and eye contact that gets to us, or me for that matter.. And the perfect dance with tht perfect man that all girls dream about..

See how happy they are? I want too!!

Yup, she's dancing..just not the waltz. She's happy and expressing her joy!!

...As they gazed upon each other, they realised, they've found their soul mate..

..Yes, you are the one I've been searching for..(tsk..how come catherine zeta jones so extra?)

...No more zeta-jones..you are the one!

"Aiya, auntie deb..why you like all these cheesy lines?? Grow up la..so old still dreaming.."

Well, they can mock me all they want..I won't deny that I CAN BE not AM shallow.. It's not that rom-com are the only type of movies I watch..I just have a special liking for them. Besides, I still love my fantasy, action, drama mama..what not..

I shall continue.


..Oh Julia, be mine...

After that, the story always end with a aww-so-sweet kiss..


So guys..try not to complain when you accompany your girl for a chick flick okay? There is always time for the blood and gore. And, the next time you want to cheer your girl up, just bring her for a rom-commovie..It'll work. Unless of course, she's heart-broken and you are the cause of it..

take a leaf out of the master's book... You can always pretend.
