Recently I have been contemplating life and the one thing that keeps crossing my mind is “why can’t my life be like a movie?” I understand that movies are works of fiction but life would be so much more interesting if it was. I would take almost any genre at this point but today my genre of choice is the romantic comedy.
Who doesn’t enjoy a great romantic comedy? If you are saying to yourself right now that you don’t, I don’t believe you. In fact, I would say you are full of shit. I’m not saying that you have to like every rom com but there has to be at least a few that you can’t help but like.
So why do I want my life to a romantic comedy? Well here are my top five reasons:
1. A happy ending. Most of them always have a happy ending. I like to see the girl and guy get together at the end and live happily ever after. It just a good feeling to see things work out for the couple. If I am going to spend two hours watching a romantic comedy, I want the damn happy ending. Nothing pisses me off more than to see it end without the couple getting together. Prime example: Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston in the Break Up. They don’t end up together and it absolutely drives me crazy. They should be together and everything should be perfect at the end. I know this sounds delusional but I want what I want and what I want is a HAPPY ENDING!
2. The leading man. There is always an extremely good looking leading man that you can’t help but to like. Even if he is not the extremely good looking, he always funny or extremely appealing and well put together. John Cusack is the best example. In Say Anything, he is not the best looking but I can’t help but want him in my life. I want a leading man. I want a guy to go to great lengths just to be with me while making everyone laugh. Is that too much to ask?
3. The crazy friends. Nine times out of ten, the friends of the couple are absolutely hilarious and it is all about solidarity. I have a great best friend and I wouldn’t trade her for the world but I would like to have a group of friends to add some comedic support in my life.
4. Clothes. I know this doesn’t really go with my other reasons but I absolutely would love my closest to be filled with all the clothes I see in the movies. I want to pull off all of the different trends. I want to be Anne Hathaway in every movie I have ever seen her in. I want the clothes so bad!
5. Everyone and everything is good looking. Let’s face it, even the average looking person in the movie still looks like perfection. They have a team of makeup artists and stylists to make sure everything is in its place. I need that. I want to have a flawless face, a great place to live, and all the style I could handle. I don’t ever want to worry about what I eat or don’t eat. I want to be exceptionally toned and thin. Basically, I don’t want to look like me.
I think my life as a romantic comedy would be a huge improvement from what it is now. I may have a job I love but even if I didn’t, I would have enough hilarity in my life to make it all okay and the man of my dreams doesn’t hurt either. I would take even the cheesiest romantic comedy. So to end my rambling, I am going list my top ten favorite romantic comedies (in no particular order) and you are not allowed to openly mock me. Please just do so silently.
