| | Bess: Film Type |
| | Romantic films often explore the essential themes of love at first sight, young (and older) love, unrequited love, obsessive love, sentimental love, spiritual love, forbidden love, sexual and passionate love, sacrificial love, explosive and destructive love, and tragic love. | | | War films are often paired with other genres, such as romance, comedy (black), and suspense. | | | Interestingly however, supernatural films are usually presented in a comical, whimsical, or a romantic fashion, and are not designed to frighten the audience. |

| | I was thinking maybe it’s a “cute romantic comedy with typical Asian-American family craziness thrown in” or “something Ang Lee would do.” But what I got was a very fresh, funny and enjoyable film. | | | The second half of the film is pretty much straight-up action and you start seeing a lot of plot holes as the film just stretches out for no reason. | | | The opening scene to the film, in particular, is AMAZING. |

| | Film Blather: Paycheck |
| | When a sci-fi film -- especially an ambitious one -- loses the audience, the result is much more disastrous than when viewers turn on a romantic comedy, or a straight-forward action thriller. | | | It's a corker of a set-up, and for a while the film just surfs on the waves of its mystery. | | | But then again no: more facetious does not automatically imply inferior, and for at least the first two acts, there is every reason to believe that Paycheck is gleefully aware of its own carnival ride nature. |

| | H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds - The War to End All Wars |
| | Uma Thurman is dating a much younger guy in this romantic comedy. | | | This faithful adaptation of the Wells is a film that will appeal to only a narrow audience. | | | Not to be confused with Steven Spielberg's take on H.G. Wells's haunting classic novel, which was released at about the same time, this is an extremely low-budget version that retains the book's time period and stays true to its plot. |

| | Romantic Vs. Screwball Comedy: Charting the Difference - Wes D. Gehring |
| | It Happened One Night (1934), isn’t really a screwball comedy at all but a romantic comedy, explaining how the film is a pitch-perfect rendition of the latter and backing up his argument by checking off its genre elements one by one. | | | These days, however, the concept of those speed-fueled farces has become interchangeable with the broader historical category of “romantic comedy,” a catch-all name for any film that included both lovers and laughter. | | | The term “screwball comedy” is one of those genre labels that, like film noir, seems to be applied as loosely as it is frequently. |

| | Cinema Confidential Review: Jersey Girl (2004) |
| | While the ending for this flick is pleasant and cheerful, the journey that the film takes you on is like no other in a romantic comedy. | | | At first glance, Jersey Girl appears to be another boring romantic comedy with a script tied in a bow thats as trite as can be. | | | Id still say that this movie is more geared towards women who would take their men or girlfriends along to watch this romantic comedy and be relieved that finally there is something out there that has some wit and humor yet still satisfying that yearning for everything to work out in the end. |

| | All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: You've Got Mail |
| | "You've Got Mail," is a sleek, well-photographed romantic comedy that actually compliments the beauty of NYC more than the actual stars of the film, since this story has been done far too many times before, and much better, at that. | | | Nora Ephron may have hit the jackpot with "Sleepless in Seattle," and I am also an admirer of her underrated 1994 comedy, "Mixed Nuts," but "You've Got Mail," ultimately, fails to add anything new or worthwhile into the now worn-out romantic comedy genre. | | | The gimmick for the film is that these two people have grown to love each other over the internet, even though they are feuding in real life. |
