Rom-Coms

I did a little bit of research on rom-coms to help gives ideas for our rom-com.

The narrative tends to be like Torodov's theory with the male and female character meeting over a disagreement then one of them growing fond of the other person which then creates the romance of the film ending in a good way. This means that rom-coms do not end in a 'happily ever after'.

Rom-coms are a sub genre from comedies as it adds the romance in it. They tend to be light hearted and many are chick flicks.

Rom-coms started off rather basic from Shakespeare such as Much Ado About Nothing however, now they are big and loved by many women as well as men such as Sex and the City, Bridget Jones and Notting Hill.
