rom com

What's the best part of a romantic comedy? If you said "the big kiss at the end," you're an idiot who is so wrong. No, the best part of a rom-com comes in the middle when our feisty leading lady finds a purpose or decides to get her life together and 👏 focus 👏 on 👏 herself!

Romantic comedies are classics. Even though they all seem to have the same plot, they're still our guilty pleasure and we can't help coming back for more. Whether it be the generic plot or the extremely unrealistic events in the movie, the genre is very easy to make fun of.

….Ladies?

Did screenwriters just learn about like three career options and then drop out of school or something? A lot of the time the jobs don't even seem to fit the characters. So let's think...what would make more sense for these women? Read on...
