Asking because you might find your answer in my next Romance/Love Newsletter:

Answer 1 of the questions or both :

#1 - Why do you watch Romantic Comedies?
#2 - What's your favorite Romantic Comedy movie or couple?

*Cool*

#1 - Because they are fun and have some strong emotions and are the sort of thing to watch when you want to feel happy in more than one manner.
         I will say that many stories labelled as "romantic comedies" are either not romantic nor that funny. I think the British do them better than anyone, especially when Richard Curtis is involved.

#2 - Favourite couple is Charles and Carrie from Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994). Favourite rom-com is Music And Lyrics (2007) (and, yes, I am fully aware it is from the USA).
1/ When done well, they can be an entertaining way to kill a couple of hours.

2/ It's maybe a stretch to call it a comedy as it's really a sci-fi drama, but I liked "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind". Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet were cast against type and it worked extremely well. "The Adjustment Bureau" with Emily Blunt and Matt Damon is another enjoyable sci-fi drama with occasional humorous touches. (And, for what it's worth, I've just noticed the funny stuff was driven by the female characters in both cases.)
Without a doubt it has to be Steve Martin and Mary Steenbergen in Parenthood!{/I}

Traveling to Avalon today. Looking at a 1 1/2 hour car ride to the port - Berth 95 in Los Angeles, then a 2 hour boat ride to Avalon with a stop in Two Harbors. Probably won't be able to get on until later on tonight. See you then! *Cool*

Annette Author Icon - I would love to do that! And I probably could have 10 years ago, now, it would be hard. I'd definately have to train and get in better shape. If anything, I have to give a shout out to Habit Heroes - I've been focusing my habits on excerises and I can feel a bit of a difference!

StephBee Author Icon - kudos on your progress! *Heart* Thank you for the shout out. *Heart*
StephBee Author Icon - I prepared myself by walking on a 15% incline treadmill for 2 hours per day for 14 days before the backpacking trip.
It helped immensely.
