Rom Coms are Cute

It's hard to make a good rom com these days. The jokes aren't as good, the acting isn't as good and the romance isn't as good as it all used to be. The best rom com I saw recently was Letters to Juliet starring Amanda Seyfried. It was directed by the late Gary Winick, who also directed 13 Going on 30. He will be missed dearly in the rom com world.

I just saw a trailer for a new rom com that I'm actually pretty excited about, Something Borrowed. Take a look.

Sure it's predictable and some of the jokes will be cheesy, but you know what? It will be cute, and I think that's the mission of the rom com. 
Something Borrowed opens May 6.
