A classic Rom-com, great performances from both the leads. They have a good chemistry together. There are some very funny scenes and dialogue without ever being too soppy and cheesey.

An ok Rom-com, not the worst, far from the best. I thought the more recent What happens in Vegas was better. You might like Wedding crashers as well if you like this.

An average Aniston Rom-Com. Not her best or her worst. It's ok but I have watched a few of her more recent films lately that I thought were better or funnier at least.

What a hilarious but cute rom-com. The premise for this film was very funny and light-hearted and everything ends up working out at the end. Very adorable and a fun movie overall.

A decent quite funny and entertaining rom-com. It's not too rude, raunchy and thankfully not that cheesy either. I wasn't expecting much, and while not being laugh out loud from start to finish it's funny enough to keep you interested to the end. The characters make this film and raise it well above most rom-coms.

My all time favourite rom-com
As rom-coms go, you really can't beat the classics. When Harry Met Sally is an absolute gem of a rom-com, and to date I still haven't see anything that can really compete.

There's chemistry between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal and you really believe in their characters, who are endearing but not entirely faultless. It's very funny without being crude or ridiculous, and the romantic side is sweet and believable, without being too sickly and cheesy. Harry also delivers my favourite romantic line from any film, and for that alone I can't help but love this film.

Strong casting. (3 more)
Zellweger as Bridget is for me a great fit - she plays it perfectly.
Plenty of charm in this rom com.
Well written and witty.
This movie cracks me up - it is charming and pretty funny.

Crazily good
I had not expected to like this film, mainly because it's a modern rom-com and most of them turn out to be pretty rubbish - but Crazy Rich Asians however is definitely not one.

It's a rom-com, so I'm afraid to say it is ridiculously predictable but I've yet to see a rom-com that isn't. However in this film it's the getting there that matters. It's funny, witty and full of a surprising amount of heart. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty much in tears by the end. It does drag a little in the middle and could have been cut a little shorter, however it's saved by a very engaging cast. It's so refreshing to see a film cast entirely made up of Asian actors and some very good ones at that. From Michelle Yeoh to Gemma Chan, it's the performances that really make this worth watching. This is probably the best modern rom-com I've seen in a long time, and while it doesn't quite match up to the classics like When Harry Met Sally, it's still a highly entertaining and emotional film.

Great idea but could've been better
This film really is a great idea - who doesn't want to see a rom-com that makes fun of rom-coms? The problem is that despite some decent attempts at highlighting some of the major flaws in rom-coms, it is in fact a rom-com itself, and a fairly average one at that.

Whilst there are some vaguely funny moments, most of the humour in this falls flat. This probably isn't helped by the fact that I really dislike Rebel Wilson and although she isn't massively irritating in this, I still don't particularly like her. The best person in this is probably Liam Hemsworth and purely for his fun over the top Aussie performance. In all the film is just a little bit predictable and way too cheesy, not in the slightest what I was expecting from something that's meant to be making fun of rom-coms.

Good story about fate
A decent little romantic film, although labeled a Rom-com most of the time it feels more of a drama with a lot of light hearted moments than truly laugh out loud scenes. It did remind me of Serendipity quite a bit, would have to admit that is by far the better film. One of the best of the genre in my opinion.
Still this has a good cast and it was an enjoyable to watch, without being the typical hollywood Rom-com most of the time. Definitely worth checking out.
