6 Guilty Pleasure Film Genres

5. Romantic Comedies

Romantic Comedies Personally, I don't get romantic comedies; the vast majority have the same or similar plot which is extremely predictable. The last one I remember watching in full was The Bounty Hunter and that made me want to die... But, Hollywood keeps churning these movies out every year so they must have a fan-base. They tend to target these films at very young teenage girls and middle aged women but this is a genre of film which is regularly panned by critics and your regular cinema-goers yet a lot of them still manage to make a profit. If so many people claim to hate these films yet they do okay at the box office then it means one thing; people are lying! How do we know that the person who scoffed at the mention of What's Your Number? didn't actually see it? If you like a good rom-com no one is judging you well, some probably will but, everyone has their guilty pleasures and there's nothing like seeing a nice happy ending to a film that can really put you in a good mood and cheer you up! Who is to say romantic comedies are worse than any other film genre?
