An in-depth celebration of the romantic comedy's modern golden era and its role in our culture, tracking the genre from its heyday in the '80s and the '90s, its unfortunate decline in the 2000s, and its explosive reemergence in the age of streaming, featuring exclusive interviews with the directors, writers, and stars of the iconic films that defined the genre.
What The Reviewers Say
Meslow tells lots of engaging making-of stories...but it’s his overarching theme, that romantic comedies are much more than lovey-dovey fluff, that really holds our interest..
A delightful and humorous love letter to the romantic comedy flick.
Breezy.
[A] comprehensive film history.
