25 cliches from romantic comedies that annoy everyone
We remember the things that most infuriate them in the plots of melodramas and romantic comedies. Why do heroes always kiss in the rain? Is it really enough for the main character to take off her glasses to become beautiful? How do single people manage to live in excellent apartments in the city center? We are waiting for a response from the directors and screenwriters.
1. The chase at the airport. Why do heroes always have to rush to the airport?
Why not just call your lover or buy a plane ticket yourself? After all, a person, even after flying away, will not disappear from the face of the earth.
2. To be honest, in the world of romcoms, the airport security service is some kind of a joke.
3. Single people from megacities can afford to live in a great apartment.
How is this even possible? If another working person can only buy a cage in the basement.
4. There are also minor inconsistencies that you can ignore.
In the movie "How to get married in three days", the characters are having an outdoor wedding - and everything would be fine, but it's February in Ireland! To finish off the viewer, the guests of the ceremony then also fall asleep on the bench. The average February temperature in the country is 5 degrees.
5. There is always a guy who behaves like a complete jerk, but for some reason they fall in love with him.
6. And it also happens that the hero pursues a woman, and she is not interested in him or even annoys him.
7. In these films, in general, other people are often persecuted in order to win them over or return them.
8. What about cheating? In romcoms, they often lie, everyone turns a blind eye to it, and it is lies that ultimately helps to come to happiness.
"Diary of Memory", "Real Love", "A letter to you", "Letters to Juliet", "A groom for rent" — and these are just some of these films.
9. There are only two professions for women — to be a writer or to work in the fashion industry.
All other matters should be handled by men.
10. In the film, there is always a woman who is unlucky in love, because she is too frank and confident in herself.
What's wrong with self-confidence?
11. In many films, they show transformations: the heroine changes her hairstyle, clothes, makeup. Without this, it is impossible to find a guy.
12. First of all, you need to take off your glasses. As you know, glasses disfigure the face, and without glasses the heroine immediately becomes attractive.
A great parting word to the audience who can't give up points.
13. And why is it necessary to kiss in the rain?
13. And why do girls never use waterproof mascara? They probably really like to walk around with black stripes on their face.
14. The lack of communication is to blame for half of the problems of screen heroes. Many of them could be corrected with one minute's conversation.
15. Women get several orgasms every time. Without exceptions.
Thank you for another reason for unjustified expectations.
16. In some romantic comedies, a very unhealthy friendship is demonstrated.
For example, in the movie" Groom for Rent", the main characters are like best friends, but at the same time Rachel has sex with Darcy's fiance, and Darcy sleeps with a guy whom she thinks Rachel is dating. Best friends don't behave like that.
17. Among the heroes there should be a gay best friend who only plays the role of a beautiful accessory and from time to time makes jokes.
It cannot perform other functions in the plot.
18. It is not terrible if a man is 20 years older than his beloved and this is the least that separates them.
19. The main characters cancel the wedding at the last minute, even when they are already waiting for guests.
Not only is it selfish — are they really ready to just throw away a lot of money already spent on the holiday?
20. A man can be as stupid, old and clumsy as he likes, but his girlfriend is always slender, young and pretty.
21. Only the first beauties are taken for the main female role.
"Friendship sex", "27 weddings", "Pretty woman", "Stylish thing", " How much do you have?", "Good luck, Chuck", "How to get rid of a guy in 10 days", "Mistress maid", "Best friend's wedding"…
22. Heroes do not need time to fall in love at all.
Hey, you've only known each other for two minutes!
23. A typical scene from a romcom: a couple is having dinner together, one of them makes some erotic hint, they languidly look into each other's eyes, and in the next frame they are already kissing in the bedroom doorway.
All this raises many questions. Have they finished eating? Did they start caressing each other at the table? Who paid the bill? Why didn't they take the leftovers with them?
24. If the hero has offended the girl he loves, a bright public gesture helps to return her.
That's how, then, you need to apologize: everything is so simple. And is it really necessary to do this in front of everyone? Some girls will kill a guy for this, and not fall into his arms.
25. And in general, all films are built according to the same formula.
A guy or a girl is infuriated by something in life (work or some situation). The comic effect is provided by the best friend of the main character (it can be a womanizer or a gay). Usually the hero is secretly in love with someone or is still pining for his former partner.
Then there are two options: either the hero starts dating the wrong person, and this person commits a bad act, or the hero falls in love with a random stranger or a friend who has been around all this time. Then there is some kind of struggle or the consequences of a bad act come, but everything is resolved with a beautiful romantic gesture or a heartwarming speech, from which sentimental viewers cry. Here is the basic plot for 80% of melodramas.
