I'd have to say that so far the romantic comedy unit has been the least interesting or entertaining. If I can be frank for a moment, I am not really a fan of romantic comedies. I love to laugh, which is precisely the reason I don't like romantic comedies. I understand that movies often need a romantic sub pot to keep things interesting. However, when a film solely revolves around "funny" romantic situations I have trouble keeping interest. Also, it seems that many romantic comedies follow same rules. A man meets a woman (or the other way around), something crazy/unexpected happens, hilarity ensues, and eventually they get together at the end. I'm not really sure how the wrap this all up, so I will just leave it at that.

I'm gonna have to say that I agree with you about romantic comedies not being so great. I'll admit there were a couple of funny parts, but just knowing exactly what's going to happen and pretty much how it's going to happen ruins just about any movie for me. I can't say I don't enjoy movies with romantic subplots, but I dunno, the screwball part just kind of ruins the movie for me.
I agree romantic comedies are garbage. Especially since ben stiller seems to think we need a new one every week. It seems to be a genre of B-movies even though those don't really exist anymore.
while i whole-heartedly agree with your point of the pointlessness of romantic comedies, i have to ask you one simple question: after having watched "Kiss Me Deadly" in the Film Nior unit, can you not agree that there are worse things?
I thought you liked romantic comedies considering that one night at my house when my parents were gone. Nonetheless your detail was amazing and your criticism fair.
