The start of the Bridget Jones trio; ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ is a romance comedy which is such an easy watch and it’s funny! I haven’t seen this film in years, and when rewatching recently, I truly forgot how much of it just makes me laugh out loud! Our main protagonist is desperately trying to turn her life around, at this point two men become more frequent in her life, her boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), and the man her mum wants to set her up with, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). We follow Bridget’s ups and downs with many embarrassingly hilarious moments that follow. I absolutely love the ca ..read more

I have just binge-read the novel this is based upon by Sally Thorne and I became incredibly obsessed unable to put it down. I was completely lost into this romance comedy and absorbed all of the words on the page. Then to find that it’s also a film and just released on Amazon Prime AND with Lucy Hale starring – excellent. I was so excited for this romance comedy, I love these sorts of crappy movies. But with ‘The Hating Game’? I feel so disappointed! I don’t know whether it’s because I read the book before or whether it was just a rubbish film. There were hardly any times I laughed and I didn ..read more

A teen romcom screaming 1980s vibes through and through, just even with the long coat and rolled up sleeves. This is the movie that contains this iconic scene: John Cusack holding a boombox outside a girl’s house next to his car blaring out ‘In Your Eyes’ declaring that he is not giving up on love. Yes ‘Say Anything…’ is that movie. The plot of this teen romance comedy seems very typical and alike to so many others. But one thing that cannot be forgotten is that this is a film from 1989. This is one of the original teen movies that embodies this sort of plot, so all of the other romcoms that ..read more

Starring Alexandra Daddario and ‘Teen Wolf’s Tyler Hoechlin, ‘Can You Keep a Secret?’ follows Emma Corrigan and Jack Harper’s unusual meeting. When Emma believes the plane she’s on is about to crash, she exposes all her secrets to the stranger sat next to her. Unknown to her, this stranger turns up at her work the next day: he’s the company’s CEO. Hilarious plot, and well executed too! 15 minutes in and I was already laughing. The secrets that this woman shares with this supposed stranger is absolutely hilarious. She went full on extreme deep dark secrets. Every single thought she’s ever had ..read more

Another chick flick on Netflix. Starring Noah Centineo who has probably become most well known recently as his role of Peter in the ‘To All The Boys’ film series. ‘The Perfect Date’ follows Brooks (Noah Centineo) whose life goal is to get into Yale University. In order to raise money to pay for his higher education, he becomes the “perfect” stand-in boyfriend for girls to hire him for any date. I’m not really sold on the plot if I’m completely honest. It just didn’t have much reason behind it. Also, it comes so unrealistically out of the blue. The seed which cemented this idea is absolutely b ..read more

Doesn’t the name say it all? ‘Falling Inn Love’ follows Gabriela (Christina Milian), a woman from San Francisco who wins an inn in New Zealand. After losing her job and breaking up with her long-term boyfriend, off she goes to New Zealand to see her competition prize. But it’s not everything it all seems, instead it turns into a renovation job and by her side to help is the best contractor the small rural town has to offer, Jake (Adam Demos). As a Netflix Original romance comedy, this film is incredibly straight forward and simplistic. This isn’t a film to watch out for the twists or even que ..read more

‘How to be Single’ is another romance comedy set in New York. It follows four women as they try to make their journey through single life all wanting different destinations. For me, there were moments of comedy, the romance was definitely less prominent. The cast of this film is mostly recognisable and good! The main star feels like it should be Dakota Johnson, but Rebel Wilson steals the show. Rebel Wilson definitely has a character she usually plays (within this movie too), and I’m not going to complain because she plays it well. In ‘How to be Single’ she plays the extroverted personality w ..read more

From the little city to the big city; Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) decides the move to New York will be her big break in order to become the singer-songwriter she dreams to be. But moving from the security of her house with her dad (John Goodman) to the seedy underbelly streets of New York is more of a shock than she imagines. When it becomes more and more difficult for any labels to listen to her tape, she gets a job as a Coyote in a popular bar named Coyote Ugly. For a film being made in the 2000, for some reason it has a weird tinge to it. I don’t know whether this is because it’s not set ..read more

I’ve never actually heard of this romcom before, but strolling through Netflix and they obviously recommend their own Originals. Then once seeing it had Zoey Deutch and Lucy Liu in it, I thought why not. I do love a romance comedy. Having never heard of it, here’s the plot. Two hard working assistants, Charlie (Glen Powell) and Harper (Zoey Deutch), spend their entire lives at work. In order for them to get a break, their bosses need to be preoccupied with someone else. Hence the hatching of the plan: setting up their bosses so they can have free time. ‘Set It Up’ is definitely successful in ..read more

‘Something Borrowed’ is one of those early 2000s / early 2010s romance comedies. Completely falling into this category, it has all the essence of great romcoms. I wouldn’t say this is the best one I’ve seen, because I can easily fault it, but it is still one of these films through and through. Heart break, comedy, best friends, romance: it has it all. Plus it has a great cast! The stars in this film are joyous. Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson and John Krasinski: just excellent. I’ve seen many romcoms starring Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson; they always seem to star in the romcoms when romcoms ..read more
