Rory + Matt

In my humble opinion the second worst movie genre ever is mainstream rom-com's (second only to gory horror movies which I don't see the point of but that's another topic for another post). Some friends have pointed out that they believe my hatred for romantic comedies is because I'm somewhat of a "bitter betty" about certain subjects. To those friends I say, sure - I'll admit that there may be a tad bit of bitterness in there as part of my disdain for the genre; however my dislike goes much deeper than bitterness and is actually on many levels and for many reasons. In the interest of time I will list only the top 5 out of the very many things that annoy me about rom-com's: 1) immensely unrealistic, 2) completely predictable, 3) cheesy, 4) full of bad humor attempts, 5) usually contain sub-par acting. I think this promo for "He's Just Not That into You" sums it up well.



However occasionally a rom-com will come along that contains a minority of these unfavorable characteristics (instead of all) and I surprisingly find myself enjoying the movie. I have high hopes that the movie "Post Grad" will fall in this category. Considering it has two of my favorite TV characters Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) and Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) I'll definitely be giving it a chance. Lord knows it's gotta be better than "P.S. I Love You".
