The romantic comedy appears to be dead, so much so, it’s become cliche to even say the romantic comedy is dead. Sure, 500 Days of Summer came along and people loved it. I even liked Definitely, Maybe in 2008, but these films are the exception to the rule. Romantic comedies are no longer romantic and they are far from funny and Valentine’s Day is 2010’s second F effort along with Leap Year, both of which fall just below the misery that is When in Rome, which means any upcoming rom-coms, while fighting an uphill battle, have very little competition in the fight for best rom-com of 2010.
This film is rated PG-13 for some sexual material and brief partial nudity.
