As we can see, today’s cinema is now dominated by big-budget blockbusters and over-realistic graphics. But even though the 21st century is considered the era of technology, many people want to spend the evening with their soulmates watching a romantic movie during which you can have a good laugh. And since I adore comedy and everything related to it, I felt it necessary to compile a list of romantic comedies (very recent movies and all-time hits) that you may have missed so that you don’t waste time looking for them and always have films with top-notch actors and a plot spiced with humor at hand.
Trainwreck
Those who are familiar with the work of Amy Schumer know her for her sharp sense of humor and the ability to joke on any topic. Therefore, there can be no doubt that she does a good job playing the role of an inveterate feminist who, at first glance, does not need a permanent relationship. In addition to Schumer, the film stars such famous actors as John Cena, Brie Larson, Tilda Swinton, Ezra Miller… Still, if this is not enough for you, I will tell you that you will also see LeBron James here, not in a cameo, but in the full role of a friend of the main character. Despite the fact that the plot, when people who do not believe in love still find it, has been out there for quite some time, this film should leave only the most pleasant impressions on you.
Isn’t It Romantic
… yes, of course, and also very funny! Another diva of modern humor, Rebel Wilson, just perfectly uses her acting talent, showing charisma and energy even from the screens. According to the plot, a new round in the main character’s life begins when she hits her head on a pillar and ends up in another universe in which everyone lives in a real romantic comedy. Before that event (pitiful or not, you’ll find out), Natalie suffered from the fact that her body did not meet modern beauty standards and did not believe in love and relationships at all. But having got into the world about which she always dreamed, she very soon wants to get out of it. Isn’t It Romantic is not just a comedy, but rather a satire that perfectly parodies all the clichés of the genre. Natalie’s adventures are fun to watch, so don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the acting of Liam Hemsworth, Adam Devine, and Priyanka Chopra.
Always Be My Maybe
In this film, the famous comedian Ali Wong, who plays the main character Sasha Tren, surprises us with her acting talent. From early childhood, she has a wonderful friend, Marcus, with whom they perfectly find a common language and support. But after graduating from school, their paths diverge, and communication is cut off. Sasha is building a successful career as a chef and is even going to get married… but plans suddenly change, and more than 15 years later, she meets Markus again by the will of fate. Always Be My Maybe surprisingly intertwines melodrama and selected humor, which makes you believe that the main characters should be fine because they are just made for each other! Well, the spectacular appearance of everyone’s favorite Keanu Reeves will undoubtedly be a pleasant surprise for the audience. What is his role, and how the unexpected meeting of the heroes will end – find out for yourself.
The Proposal
Well, now is the time to rewind a little and remember the gorgeous 2009 comedy with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. Bullock’s heroine, Margaret, is the executive editor of a New York publishing house, and all of her colleagues and subordinates are constantly plagued by her oppressive nature and arrogant attitude.
However, she has to descend to earth when she receives a letter from the migration service about deportation to her homeland in Canada because, through her carelessness, she completely forgot about extending her visa (it seems that she was way too busy pushing around her subordinates). The enterprising girl does not lose heart and immediately finds a way out of the situation – she needs to marry an American as soon as possible, for the role of which she chooses her assistant Andrew (Reynolds). But the man turns out to be not such a simpleton: he makes Margaret do unimaginable things. He even takes her to meet his family, which will eventually acquire an unexpected twist. What can I say, the acting, as well as the humor, is at its best here, and so you will definitely like it.
Laughter lengthens life, and I hope you will have a good time watching these romantic comedies!
