Romantic comedies remain the go-to genre for many viewers. It is only while the film is running that they get transported to a make-believe world where coincidence plays a huge part in the meet-cute between the budding lovers. Most stories in this genre end up having a predictable climax, but if the movie is written well, there is a genuine chance the audience will end up leaving the theater with a smile. That is a rare feat because, most of the time, a romantic comedy film turns out to be a rehashed version of other movies in the same genre, making it clear there is nothing new to offer.

Sam Claflin plays an uptight novelist on a Mexican book tour in a romantic comedy short on romance and comedy
Ever since it was insisted that Netflix had single-handledly resurrected the romantic comedy despite the general hideousness of the romcoms they were releasing, streamers have churned them out by the dozen, quality be damned.
As Valentine’s Day looms, with Netflix still basking in the success of last month’s The Royal Treatment, the next week will see the teen sequel Tall Girl 2 and Turkish offering Love Tactics also added to its catalogue. At the same time, Amazon will launch the Jenny Slate-Charlie Day comedy I Want You Back and Universal will give Marry Me, J-Lo’s glossy return to the genre, a hybrid cinema-Peacock launch. It’s a theoretical feast for fans, but here’s naively hoping that they’re a damn sight better than this week’s...
