Romantic comedies are not necessarily your enemy. When most people think of the film genre, they usually see a 90-minute "scratcher" with Katherine Heigl or Jennifer Aniston looking for love in all the wrong places until one day she finds someone who has been there for her all this time. But the fact is, there are quite a few great romantic comedies that are good and different. And these are the kind of films that will delight even those who despise romantic comedies.
These are romantic comedies for those you are not most fond of.
