What has happened to Romantic Comedies, or rather what has happened to me? I think part of it is that Juan happened to me. We were watching Dan in Real Life a few weeks back and within the first 15 minutes of the movie, Juan was like, this is what's going to happen and of course he was right. Now I know you can do that with many romantic comedies, but that was a genuinely good, fun movie and he ruined it for me. We just watched 27 Dresses this weekend and I hated it. Absolutely repulsed me and made me want to give up romantic comedies for good. Not original, predictable, and don't even get me started on how Katherine Heigl thinks that just because she did Knocked Up and 27 Dresses that now she is too good for Grey's Anatomy. I hope she leave Grey's Anatomy and ends up bombing in movies too. That will teach her to abandon what made her. Baby Mama was a romantic comedy, but it was original and laugh out loud funny and it was Tina Fey. So here is my predicament, if I give up romantic comedies all together trying to avoid suffering through another 27 Dresses, will I miss the Baby Mamas, While You Were Sleepings, and Runaway Brides?

are you serious, you are my movie guru!! i';m shocked to hear some hate in this blog post!! katherine...i know what you mean. have a great day. :) mir
Don't give up romantic comedies all together. Actually, I don't watch them much either because Patrick doesn't really care for them. We should get together and watch them and the men-folk can do something else.
Obviously I am still a sucker for the rom-coms. I really liked 27 dresses. I was wondering why people said they didn't like it. I thought it was good. No it wasn't Runaway Bride or anything but it was still enjoyable. I would much rather have predictable than awful surprise endings like someone dying or the couple not gettig together. I guess i'm just a really predictable person! Oh well.
Sheesh, I actually loved 27 Dresses. But Katherine should keep her butt in Seattle - what has she done, two movies?
I didn't really LOVE 27 dresses either. But I did like Made of Honor. It was predictable too though...but still good!
hi cami!! when are you going to come visit?
