12 Of The Best Romantic Comedies
Timeout Chicago

Romantic comedies, the typically light-hearted genre that often ends with the couple being very happily together. Oftentimes some interesting and hilarious situations occur in the relationship process, which I think just adds to the amusement. I think the challenges along the way make the couple ending up together in the end even greater since they worked for it. If this is your all time favorite movie genre, then this is right up your alley! I'm listing just 12 of my personal favorites, although there are so many more that could be included (no disrespect to the many not included!).

1. The Proposal

Margaret (Sandra Bullock) forces her assistant, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), to marry her to prevent her deportation to Canada. The winning combination of Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock and Betty White makes this particular movie special and it never gets old.

2. 13 Going on 30

Jenna (Jennifer Garner) makes a wish on her 13th birthday to be grown-up. She wakes up the next day as a 30-year-old. This movie is hilarious and relatable because being a teenager was hard.

3. First Daughter

Katie Holmes stars as Samantha, the first daughter who is heading off to college and falls for a graduate student who is more than just that. Although most college students do not have secret service following them around, many of the things Samantha experiences are similar to a "normal college experience."

4. Serendipity

Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) run into each other while shopping and began to fall for each other. When they parted ways, Sara thinks they should leave it up to fate if they see one another again. The movie follows their lives from the moment of their meeting.

5. Something Borrowed

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) has loved Dex (Colin Egglesfield) forever but he's engaged to her best friend Darcy (Kate Hudson). As you can imagine, this movie tests relationships.

6. Legally Blonde

Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is dumped by her boyfriend because he's going to law school so she follows him to Harvard. Then, she schools everyone who thought she was just a "dumb blonde."

7. 50 First Dates

Henry (Adam Sandler) falls for Lucy (Drew Barrymore) and they really hit it off. The next day, she has no idea who he is. This makes for a very complicated relationship.

8. My Best Friend's Wedding

When a woman finds out her best friend is engaged, she realizes that she loves him. This is her adventure trying to breakup his wedding.

9. Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Emily (Julianne Moore) asks for Cal (Steve Carrell) a divorce, so he seeks the help of Jacob (Ryan Gosling). This is the interconnected tale of his experience trying to get his wife back.

10. Made Of Honor

Tom (Patrick Dempsey) is in love with his best friend, but she asks him to be her maid of honor. Then, he tries to win her over.

11. Mamma Mia!

Sophie wants to find her dad before she gets married. The only problem is, her dad could be one of three guys.

12. Ghost Of Girlfriends Past

Connor (Matthew McConaughey) is haunted by his girlfriends of the past while preparing for his brother's wedding. Perhaps this will change his perspective on marriage, since he is a serial-womanizer?

Do you love these movies as much as I do? If not, what are your favorite "rom-coms"?

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
