(aka, Not All My Posts Are About Rape)
I was on vacation with the folks in Miami last month, and the weather wasn't great so we were stuck inside a bit, and my dad was working for half of it, so my mom and I got a little bored at times. One afternoon we ended up watching No Reservations, the romantic comedy with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, and Abigail Breslin. While it might seem like it follows the recently popular, woeful rom com trope of bringing a career woman to her knees, upon viewing one learns that this is NOT the case. More on this later, the point is:
I wanted to make a list, in its honor, of romantic comedies I actually like--movies for when I don't want to think, but don't want my intelligence insulted. The problem is, this list is very short at the moment. So, dear readers:
Any suggestions?
PLEASE suggest. But don't say Love, Actually, I hate that movie. (More on that later, too.)

keeping the faith?
On thinking about this, I was surprised to discover my two favorites of the last ten years are Will Ferrell movies—Stranger Than Fiction and Elf. Which is weird because I really dislike Will Ferrell.
Watch Prime. The ultimate cougar love story. The chemistry between Uma and the leading man is amazing and it is sort of my fantasy to be a cougar one day so....it's not all happy endings or anything but at the same time I think it gives a lovely look at how the good parts and the bad parts of a relationship can be beautiful.
...sherlock holmes?
oh wait that's probably not what you had in mind.
(still thinking, i'll let you know if i come up with any real answers.)
