Like it or Love it?: Romantic Comedy: 2003 vs 2010??!

I've recently had a movie marathon for a total of 2 days!

Crazy huh?

In total I've watched about 4 movies! Okay its not a lot but 4 movies in 2 days??!

From what I can see is that, both old movies and new movies are great. But ever since 2009, there are more movies containing sci-fi elements. No matter its rom-com or comedy, there are just special effects and all sorts. Now the technology is much more modern now but how bout back then??

I found out that even without the camera tricks or special effects, the movies somehow still can catch people's attention with their amazing plot lines.

Okay, when I'm talking about old movies, its the years before 2009. So its not really THAT.

So I've came across two romantic comedy.

First- "When In Rome", came out in 2010.

What caught my attention was the actors.

Rating: 5/5

Level of cliche-ness: 2.

This movie took place in Rome, the boy meets girl. They met at Beth (Kristen Bell) 's sister's wedding, where Nick (Josh Duhamel) happens to be the groom's best men. And from that point on, their love story begins. But due to some misunderstandings, Beth got the wrong idea that Nick was a player, and she prejudged. So she went into the "Love Fountain" one of Rome's famous landmarks. It is something like a wishing well for love. People dumped their coins inside wishing for love. The drunk Beth, went inside the fountain and took 5 coins. What she didn't know was that, legend has it that if you took that person's coin, the person will be under a love spell. Well, turns out, it wasn't just a legend! So 5 random strangers from around the world are chasing after Beth for her love. And Beth thought that Nick was one of them.

Is he?

I don't wanna ruin the movie with giving spoilers, so watch it find out for yourself!!!

Not only the plot line is brilliant, the actors have this chemistry between them which made it so much more interesting. I've watched a million of romantic comedy, but while watching most of them, I never actually laughed out loud! But this movie made me laugh really hard!!!

The soundtrack is pretty good too! Great job to whoever that chooses the songs!

Moving on..

The 2nd one is, "How to Lose a guy in 10 days?", came out in 2003.

What caught my attention is the movie title!

Ratings: 5/5

Level of cliche-ness: 6

HAHAHA, that sounds easy. But it wasn't as easy as it seems!

You see, Andie (Kate Hudson) had to write a piece of article for a magazine. It's a very girly magazine. But what Andie love to write about is politcs, religion and other things that matters. So in order to have the right to write about those things, she promised her boss that she'd do that article.

She went to a bar and "hunt" for a guy that she would date as an experiment and sees what she had to do in order for the guy to dump her. Turns out, the guy that she picked also had a bet of his own. He made a bet with HIS boss that he would make any girl fall in love in 10 days! Thats what made it so hard for both of them! One of them is intentionally doing everything she can to sabotage this "relationship" and the other is trying hard to bear with the craziness the other one is putting out.

It's really funny! Though the story is pretty predictable in some ways but the lines are really funny!

Kate Hudson and Matthew Mcconaughey are both really good actors/comedians but as a couple... not really crazy about it. I love it more when the two are trying to kill each other. :D
