Romantic comedies are sometimes know as 'rom coms' or chick flicks. Romantic comedies are a sub genre of comedy. Romantic comedies are based around the ideas of romance, and the quote 'true love conquers all'. Romantic comedies however put a spin on this, when humorous plot lines come into the equation.
The basic plot line for a romantic comedies is that there are two protagonists, usually a man and a women,who meet, then have to overcome obstacles, this is where the comedy is portrayed, then they reunite together. Leading ultimately to a happy ending, the protagonists don't always have to marry each other but they must have a 'happily ever after', to meat the expectations of a romantic comedy.
For example of this genre I have chosen the trailers from Valentines Day, Leap Year and Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Hugh Grant stereotypical stars mostly in romantic comedies, he has starred in Notting Hill, Music and Lyrics, Love Actually and 4 Weddings and a Funeral. Therefore he has become a very iconic image for the romantic comedy genre.
