"This novel is the queer rom-com of my dreams. The Prince of England falling in love with the son of the US president?? AND the president is a woman?? Yes please. This book is so engaging and fun to read, and just the perfect cozy escapism from everything going on in the world right now."

Sandra Bullock looks lovely as always but this film was very slow and dull. I just kept waiting for something to happen. Thought it might be a rom-com to start with but it was definitely a drama. Just so slow and predictable and nothing really happens. If you want a romantic drama watch the Notebook which also stars Gena Rowlands.

"Well I think we just have to have a shout out to the rom-com genre in there and it’s a perfect example of the two, you know, really lovable, flawed characters — perfectly flawed for one another. As my grandmother used to say, “There’s a lid for every pot.” So I think that out of that genre that’s probably my favorite."

I’ve been watching a fair amount of movies coming from New Zealand lately and I have to say that I’m finding them great viewing and Baby Done is no exception, this Baby-Rom-Com is a film that had me laughing out loud at the journey that Zoe (Matafeo) takes for the nine months after finding out she is pregnant.

Great cast (0 more)
A fresh take on the Rom-com with plenty of drama, featuring an all star cast. It's on the same kinda level as Love actually. It features the love lives of various people that are all connected some how. Starting with those on the dating scene trying to read the signs right through to those that have been married for a few years. It's enjoyable and quite funny with a few touching moments too., I like the way all the stories are interwoven together. One of the best Rom-coms in a long while.

Hits the right notes
I found this surprisingly funny and enjoyed the sound track for the film. I'm not a big fan of Musicals and a lot of singing in films, but this still felt more like a Rom/com. You can tell the cast had a blast making this film. Give it a whirl.

Really funny!
Why is a horror podcast talking about a Rom Com? Guess you will have to listen to find out. Join hilarious and informative hosts John Crinan and Zoë Smith as they praddle on whilst having a bottle of red wine (they may have had some ahead of time as well).

There is both style and substance here and a highly recommend!

"Pure, irresistible rom-com at its finest! Olive is the unlucky twin, but when her sister gets food poisoning at her own wedding reception, it just might be the luckiest moment of Olive’s life because it means the prepaid honeymoon is up for grabs. The only catch is that she’ll have to pretend to be married to Ethan, her nemesis, for 10 luxurious days in Hawaii."

I'm not a big fan of Ben Stiller to be honest, but found this film ok. Still not up there with the likes of There's something about Mary. However it is better than some he has done. It has quite a few funny scenes and some raunchy ones too for a Rom-com?! Overall a good cast, a bit cheesy in places but an ok film overall.

Wedding Crashers mixed with Bridesmaids
I didn't expect much from this to be honest, but was pleasantly surprised. From the writers of Bad neighbours. This is less Rom/com and more like Wedding Crashers, American Pie type comedy. Funny, Rude and crude but the cast chemistry really works. There are some funny characters and genuine lol moments. Rsvp
