Sweet Home Alabama is my favorite rom com 😂 I never thought she leaves her career, she keeps the job and the first husband! She has both! But I agree that Patrick Dempsey was an excellent boyfriend, it was hard to choose.
A great post!! it made me laugh out loud several times 😁 especially with the brown M&Ms comment 🤣
i know, i love it too. i'm sure she does keep her career and they have a beautiful boutique/glass shop together, i just love New York and i'm sad this made-up woman left!
I knew this was going to be my favorite post to date- the first paragraph set the tone to the perfection this is! I am also so giddy over the “head over heels” shoutout cause that is an underrated one I love! Also IYKYK Keanu cameo is always welcomed in my home 🤣👏 and Dev Patel is definitely not used enough!! Personally I feel anything meg Ryan or Freddy prince jr is in during the 90s-00s is iconic and perfect amount of cheese (not in a hallmark way cause I agree with you on that take ofc)!
Wholeheartedly agree: Dev Patel, Small Boob, 500 Days of Summer, Worst Behaved.
Wholeheartedly disagree: Sweet Home Alabama! Probs because you left small town life for the city and I left the city (suburbia) for small town life, ha.
Are The Breakup and P.S. I Love You rom-coms? I guess they probably don’t fully fit the category. If they do, we can discuss.
Also not sure if Stuck In Love is a romcom, but I swear I’m the only person who’s ever watched it and it’s my go-to movie when I’m having a bad day. Greg Kinnear and Lily Collins! (Not a couple, just part of the good casting)
love The Breakup so much but i guess it's about a romance in decline. P.S. I Love You is sad and I haven't seen it in a while. i forgot about Stuck In Love but I liked that movie! need a rewatch.
So glad to see Drive Me Crazy get the respect it deserves!
And honestly, I feel like if you're a certain aged millennial My Best Friend's Wedding was our culture. Period. "I've got moves you've never seen" is still on loop in my head every few months.
So many good categories! I really like Serendipity, it deserves some recognition. I almost awarded "Best Contribution by Netflix" to To All The Boys I've Loved Before, so cute. I somehow remember nothing about Definitely, Maybe!
You really do have great taste! I feel weird about While You Were Sleeping being part one of my sexual awakening. Part 2 was the tango scene in Mrs. Winterbourne, and no one remembers that movie.
I’m so glad you did this!!! Perfect takes, as usual. 90s Meg Ryan seems like she could have chemistry with anyone. Obsessed with the best and worst dye jobs/best small boob representation as superlatives. Agree 500 days of summer is overrated.
I once asked Cody what his favorite rom com was and said I Love You, Man 🙄
When I saw "... best kiss, & more!" I thought to myself well I know it won't be the right answer since Never Been Kissed has aged so poorly and YET. I destroyed my NBK VHS tape watching and rewatching that kiss because it is so good. Second place for me is Runaway Bride when Richard Gere and Julia Roberts kiss during her wedding rehearsal to another guy- problematic but they can't wait one more minute and it looks NICE.
My gal I will follow your recs blindly from here on out because this entire list had me nod nod nodding. I added several movies to my list.

Yay!! If you do get your hands on Head Over Heels, we need a movie night.

yes!! "I've got moves you've never seen" is so clear in my head.
This is sooooo important to me!
As someone married to a straight man, + 1 on Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
My own additional superlatives...
Adding Serendipity to Best Premise and Best Food Scenes (it rocketed frozen hot chocolate into relevance)
Best High School Rom Com - To All The Boys I've Loved Before. I kick my feet!!!
Best Book Adaptation - Crazy Rich Asians (the book series is actually so good)
Best Single Parents Finding Love Again - One Fine Day (George Clooney makes me swoon in this) (also very underrated romcom IMO?)
Best Kid Actor - Definitely, Maybe
Most Missed Potential for a Queer Romance - Bend It Like Beckham
Best Plot Twist - Crazy, Stupid Love
So many good categories! I really like Serendipity, it deserves some recognition. I almost awarded "Best Contribution by Netflix" to To All The Boys I've Loved Before, so cute. I somehow remember nothing about Definitely, Maybe!
Idk if Definitely Maybe is com enough to be considered a rom com but I need to get a rewatch in, I remember Ryan Reynolds being kinda bearable in it!
You really do have great taste! I feel weird about While You Were Sleeping being part one of my sexual awakening. Part 2 was the tango scene in Mrs. Winterbourne, and no one remembers that movie.
Thank you!! I haven’t watched it but Brendan Fraser…I’m not not interested.
I think it is objectively bad, unless you are 14. But it has good bones and it has a soft spot in my heart forever.
Mississippi Masala is such a hidden gem!
it's finally streaming but i had to buy it to watch it for the first time!

And thanks for the shoutout 🩷
Thanks friend!! I Love You, Man is like a bromance-com (brom-com?)

OMG thank you so much!! You're right about that Runaway Bride kiss, forgot about that.
It’s probably too old to make your list. 1985 but I absolutely love Just one of the guys. Again, my beautiful Daughter awesome entry.❤️
i've never seen it!
Watch it immediately!
