Hugh Grant's wardrobe in About A Boy is phenomenal, but also the soundtrack by Badly Drawn Boy.
Wrong. You just can't detect it because of your cold and unloving heart.
and richard curtis ain't no shakespeare
love, actually was written as nothing more than the most mundane of vehicles for its cast

Ahh yes the C-O-A-Bre-Mo. Such a large collection of movies
ya.. but cusack was so cute in this
and Dan Aykroyd was funny
It freaked me out how much Paul Rudd was like a friend of mine from high school. Like, he talks and acts exactly like that ("get ready for some iTunes ack-shee-own!"), except without the hot fiance. That movie was great. Lots of Apple product placement tho.
I like Two Weeks Notice a whole lot too - perfect Hugh Grant part and dialogue. I don't have to almost feel sorry for him like in Notting Hill, I can just watch him be british and goofy.
I like this movie but only really the Katherine Hepburn stuff
There's the part that's just Jimmy Stewart trying to dig dirt that just isn't as interesting

Also, Tony Randall's final film.
I hate to admit it but Two Weeks Notice is a guilty pleasure of mine.
It's true, the Oscar for The Blind Side was actually delayed recognition of her performance in Two Weeks Notice.
It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread but it's good

Plus Sandra Bullocks' parents are cute.
And the scene at the very end in the small apartment kills me every time.
hehe yes
so many good romcoms out there!
oh man. I saw a movie billed as a romantic comedy with renee zellweger and harry connick jr. in it on a plane and it was soooooo bad. so bad.
She is irresistible in that movie, and still fresh as a peach
It isn't unless romcoms now include things like breakups and deep depression and eventual moving on.
Like Lars and the Real Girl's theme isn't about the actual romance between lars and the doll, it's about people's reaction and then the eventual loss of a loved one and moving on.
500 Days isn't about the overcoming obstacles in humorous ways to attain the final goal of bliss. It has more in common with the theme of loss and moving on and green pastures after a relationship that goes south.
To call it a romantic comedy just because theres humor and a relationship is absurd.
I like it because they don't get back together
AND THAT'S THE WAY LIFE IS
Harry Connick Jr, sigh. So dreamy but in so many awful movies.
Yea, no. She was still a terrible back then, just with less baggage.
Amazing
yes! wanted to include this in the OP, but i felt like i babbled enough in it. love audrey tautau so much in that movie. her helping the blind guy was so brilliant. and the whole park scene! yay!

She's Out of my League was actually pretty great.
My favourite romantic comedy however is:
(And Hot Fuzz, which may as well be a romantic comedy too! Danny/Nick.
I also love Love, Actually. And by far my favourite of the "adolescent boy/boy romance" is a British film called "Beautiful Thing" - it manages to avoid most of the more annoying tropes of the genre and is just really good!
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
Um, the entire first half of the movie, maybe even the first 3/4, is him developing a romantic relationship with Summer through humorous actions. Just because she breaks up with him doesn't make the whole movie about loss.
You get to see Sandra Bullock as naked as possible for a PG-13 for an extended period though.
