We Bet The Girls Can Beat The Guys On This Rom Com Movie Quiz

Good for a girls night in, getting over a breakup, an all day weekend movie marathon, or just another Tuesday evening—rom coms are always in style! Rom Com—short for Romantic Comedy—is a genre that is often automatically thought of as nothing more than a subheading under the larger umbrella of “chick flick”—which is so reductive! Rom Coms are an escape from the dreary world of dating in real life. They are filled with hope and love, and above all—optimism. They bring a levity to our greatest fears—of living a life alone, of not finding the right partner, of finding the right partner but then letting them go. Romantic Comedies are a two-hour window into the way life could go, if all life was perfectly scripted, and had an excellent back up cast.

Rom Coms are for gentlemen and lady viewers, though most guys swear they wouldn’t watch one of their own volition, that is to say without their girlfriends forcing them!
