A lot like Boredom

Advantages: Some romantic moments
Disadvantages: No laughs

...Let me break it down a bit for you, perhaps its how when men go out in town they'll see women as numbers, usually on a scale of one to ten, and if I'm trying to give an example to the simple women readers amongst us.. well, I'm out of examples. Sorry. You see A Lot Like Love is a film I caught on television especially for the fact I know there's going to be someone out there interested in it, or either that or they'll just be interested in Ashton ...
...he is about to take a trip to New York (from LA) to see his deaf brother Graham (Tyrone Giordano). His brother has intentions of being a lawyer, and that in itself is worthy of a spinoff film but I guess that doesn't come under the title of romantic comedy. The film is full of extra characters you most likely won't take to, and that includes the boyfriend of Olly's love interest of the film. Olly sees Emily Friehl (Amanda Peet) arguing with her boyfriend, ...

At this point the comedy ...
...to enter the house while Jack is sleeping off another drunken night and place the baby next to him in the bed, hoping that he is spurred to take responsibility - which, after an initial spell of resentment, he reluctantly does, naming the baby Sarah. As Jack grows into his role as a father, the comedy returns to the film and a heartwarming relationship is forged, with Sarah now accompanying him everywhere, even to work.

Wilde at his Best

Advantages: Script, Performances & Look
Disadvantages: None

...gentle through the life of an up and coming politician Sir Robert Chiltern, his wife, sister and best friend (Lord Goring). There are dark moments when Sir Robert has to choose his country or himself but all is resolved in the end. What truly makes this special is the language used, the sarcasm flows like honey and the one-upmanship is only thinly disguised. ...

A well done cross of comedy and romance

Advantages: Comical genious
Disadvantages: ???

...them out. This is where Hitch comes in. He gives men helping advice for how to get the woman of their dreams to notice and like them. How is this done? Well Hitch uses various rules and guidelines which allow him to turn any average Joe into a full on Romeo. This movie is not just Romantic no there is a lot of comedy thrown into the mix along with a bit of tragedy. When Hitch falls in love himself with a reporter for a newspaper he finds himself ...
...me. Other comical moments include Hitch being struck by food poisoning (OK it doesn't sound that funny but Will Smith can pull it off) his face then bloats up and in the end Hitch ends up getting high on medication. Hilarious. Surely Hitch has met his match when he has to get Albert Brennaman (Kevin James from King of Queens) to go out with a celebrity Allegra Coles (Amber Valleta) This cannot be done can it? It seems impossible but Hitch gets Allegra ...
