From the romantic comedies appeared on the big screen I selected ten films that can surprise us in one way or another, because they came with a new and different flavor from the usual sweet kind of movies. Here are ten best romantic comedies that worth to be seen and reviewed thanks to exceptional interpretations, of some memorable lines or innovative solutions to the problems of love.
10. Barefoot in the Park
Cori and Paul Bratter is a married couple who spends only the first five days of honeymoon without opening the hotel room door. If for her (Jane Fonda) love means eight phones per day and spent all free time together, closely embraced for him (Robert Redford) and stifling marriage begins to be tiresome. The young couple lives in an attic and is part of all the little changes of living together: the kind of suspicious neighbors, unannounced visit to the mother in law and snow passing through the bedroom roof too crowded.
09. A Good Woman
In a romantic comedy in which Scarlett Johansson plays can be surprisingly because the good woman is, in fact, played by Helen Hunt, but will be more surprising to find that her heart is stolen by Tom Wilkinson and his character Tuppy. Director Mike Barker followed the steps of Oscar Wilde’s play to play a story of seduction, sex and scandal, but the result is an extraordinary insight into inter-human relations, a collection of true life lessons.
08. Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain
“Amelie” is a romantic comedy whose role was to remind us the magic of love and flee vain to break prejudices about happiness. Jean-Pierre Jeunet invented by a young actress Audrey Tautou extraordinary knows well how to enjoy everything in its path and how to help others and to find a smile. Being held in isolation for over-caring father, Amelie can not wait to get in touch with the world and discover the positive side of any story.
07. Imagine Me and You
Among the romantic comedies from recent years that surpass expectations, we mention “Imagine Me and You” from 2005 in which Piper Perabo is Rachel, a young woman who meets half the day wedding with her boyfriend for many years. Half is Luce, florist hired to decorate the marriage ceremony. Tale of two imagined by Ol Parker, goes beyond the usual clichés of a film whose center is a failed marriage and an escape from the altar.
06. 3 Idiots
Indian cinema has proposed last romantic comedy “3 Idiots” with dramatic accents. The film made in India the largest collections of movie made in Bollywood productions. Abroad “3 Idiots” is on the second place in Hindi films box office after “My Name Is Khan”. Two friends are looking for their third lost friend and the way they remember a bet made years ago, breaking a wedding and get to a funeral where things get completely out of control.
05. Waitress
The former star of the show “Felicity”, Keri Russell, is the star of comedy “Waitress”. The actress managed to impress positively trivial role of a penniless waitress, married to a man that does not also hold a child on the way. The romantic comedy imagined by Adrienne Shelly is breaking the patterns surfeit of young women. If you did not know, being a waitress can be a tremendously creative and pies can bring success in all areas.
04. Me and you and everyone we know
John Hawkes, nominated for an Oscar in 2011 with “Winter’s Bone”, is a lonely shoe salesman, on the verge of divorce, father of two mulattoes: teenager Peter and little Robby. Director Miranda July plays the lead role of Christine. This is possible as eccentric artist, who work with the elderly and mannerisms borrowed from her old one. The two also tries to establish a bridge of communication and often fail, making comedy of contemporary human inability to directly express the simple things.
03. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is the comedy from 2008 which fully explains how looks Katy Perry’s new husband naked. British comedian Russell Brand is one which Sarah Marshall, played by Kristen Bell leaves Peter, Jason Segel’s character. Trying to forget Sarah, Peter goes to Hawaii, but there is Sarah, with her new boyfriend, the perfect man.
02. Keeping the Faith
Romantic dramedia “Keeping the Faith” describes a love triangle between Ben Stiller, Jenna Elfman and Edward Norton. Silly boys’ together and best friends, although each is in the law of: Stiller’s rabbi, and Norton is a priest. The two falls in love with the same girl, but none may be because of her religious beliefs. Catholic priest can not break the vow of celibacy and the rabbi can not take a wife other than a Hebrew. Unexpected comedy drew links between the need of faith and love.
01. Whatever Works
A brilliant cynical old alone and disgust with life is the best person to appear in Woody Allen signed a movie. Especially if this cynicism is played just the star of the show “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, Larry David. But what comes out of the box is that this character, his name Boris Yellnikoff, will find happiness even twice, first with much younger girlfriend, interpreted by Evan Rachel Wood. What’s even stranger is that happiness Boris will act as a gravitational field in which all others are attracted to a state of inner balance and harmony.
