I always am and still is a sucker for romantic comedies because I find it easy to "consume" without using much of my brain cells.
Ok I'm lazy even when it comes to watching movie. But the point is, romantic comedies with its cheesy and forever repeating plots will always have a beautiful ending whereby
and they live happily ever after everything works perfectly well.
Think again, I guess most people (or rather me) use this as an escapism from the "cruelty" of real life. Using those "happy" plots to make up for the lack of happy "endings" in each phase of our lives, giving us
me momentary SS syndrome to cheer ourselves up. :p
I have been watching a lot of romantic comedies these few days, ranging from those produced in the 2000's to those produced in the 1990's or even the 1980's. One of my favorite had to be My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The characters brings an attractive, warmhearted simplicity to the movie, portraying a close loving family that can overcome any "obstacle". Most important, capturing enough romance with the right amount of "slapstick" throughout the movie, making it fun movie to watch.
Why am I blogging about this? Mostly because I have nothing better to write about? Or maybe because THERE ARE TOO MANY WEDDING PHOTOS FLOODING AROUND ON FACEBOOK THESE FEW DAYS therefore making me feel like watching heartwarming love stories which leads to me blog about it? :P
