I'm 46 and I have When Harry Met Sally, Crazy Stupid Love, 27 Dresses, She's All That and She's The One in my DVD collection.

I too look forward to a Rom Com staring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder.

[75Live]

not caring about the drunk part   but the trailer was kind of funny and charming.  Not sure I will see it in the theaters, but it does have my attention now  

[Marathon]

John Wick in a romantic comedy? Well, stranger things have happened...

[Blaze Heatnix]

People are reacting really well to the trailer online. Maybe it'll perform well enough for that kind of movie.

This movie looks great! I laughed all the way through that trailer. Winona and Keanu are perfect for this. Can’t wait!

Nice to see Winona Ryder might make a comeback.

But the Romcoms have not gone anywhere. It has been a while since one has been a huge hit, but a number have been profitable.

One advantage they have:in an age of massive budgets, they are Cheap to Produce.

Try the classics in the genre: "THe Philidelphia Story",any of the Katherine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy films...

[Blaze Heatnix]

This is trending ( number 4 ) on youtube.  This trailer and the John Wick 3 motion poster are quite linked together.

 

So many people saying it looks a prequel to the first John Wick, lol. I think this movie might surprise a lot of people. 

[SLAM!]

I mean, it's not like romantic comedies were ever really proven to have died off entirely. I mean, just less than ten years ago, 500 Days of Summer and Crazy Stupid Love were doing just fine. I think they simply stopped making them after a few flops, causing a premature, artificial, undeserved death of a genre. I'm personally holding out hope that this revitalizes the genre.

[Morieris]

I don't even remember the last rom com that got wide theatrical release.

 

Now, VOD? Full of 'em. Some of them aren't even awful.

500 Days and CSL are ok, but people are definitely missing the huge, slick, big-studio rom coms that grossed over 100 million (or close to it) and usually ushered in a brand new female star[let]. Where are the modern-day Pretty Womans and When Harry Met Sallys and Sweet Home Alabamas and such? Who was the last female star who sorta became synonymous with romcoms? Jennifer Lopez/Reese Witherspoon in the mid 2000s?  What was the last romantic comedy (not musical so no Mamma Mia! and LalaLand, just the typical or "classic" romcom) to make more than 100 million in the US?

So much cynicism here.  If they had capes and super powers, would you be more interested?

With the way Marvel Studio often frames their CBMs within a structure that mirrors classic movie genres, I am surprised they still have not done a romantic comedy with superpowers (although Ant-Man & the Wasp might be just that)..Or maybe someday they will do the first full-fledged burst-out-in-song superhero musical (Dazzler?)...

[Sam]

Why do I only hear about this movie now.

 

I’m in. Always have a soft spot for Romcom
