Comedy is a genre that has a long history. It keeps reproducing and makes many sub genres, Love Comedy must be the popular one of these sub-genre. You can find Hollywood keeps producing various love comedy every year. It shows there is a giant market among the world. So, why are the love comedies so popular?
In this summer, there is several love comedies keeps on showing week by week. It seems that love comedy would not be too much for the audiences. I had watched two of them, My Life in Ruins and Proposal. And I find a quite interesting phenomenon: Hollywood love comedies always have the same formula. The loves always happen in the same way. The two protagonists are always having arguments or do not have any feelings towards each other at first. They start to care and be attracted by each other when some issues had happened. Then, the two protagonists must overcome some obstacles together and go out with each other. (Some couples are even getting married.) What ‘s a happy ending.
Take the two films s the examples.

So, why do people (especially for girls) still love to watch love comedies one after one although the style of contents is so similar? The answer is simple. Love comedies are fantasy. The loves involved in the story are romantic. We love to consume love comedies as they are providing us chances to feel the sweet feeling of love in fairy tales. Although we can’t find a prince in the reality, we can still dream that we do when we are watching the film. Indeed, different from romance cinema, the stories of love comedy are always positive and fun. We do not need to think too much about the story, just be happy. In the two hours of the love comedy time, we would be just having fun and consuming the sweetie, and then nothing left. But, who’s care?
