Hello? Romantic Comedy?

Tips to writers for Romantic Comedies: Where's the beef? The whole reason women rent the Romantic Comedy is for the eye candy. If you don't spend the money and time to sign up some beefcake for your movie, make sure there's at least one reason for him to take his shirt off. Is it hot out there working in the garden? How about working on that pickup in the front yard, anywhere else we'd think white trash but in the romantic comedy it's the perfect excuse to take off that white T-shirt because you are SO HOT! Dead of winter? Add in a hot tub? Shoot I've watched some movies where someone gets hurt in the woods in subzero temperatures and some good looking guy (beefcake) has to rip off his coat and shirt to stave the wound and keep the poor sap warm (I'm not complaining.) Better yet they have to come in from the snow, just make sure the heat is broken and up to 90 degrees so everyone can wander around in their bathing suits.

All work and no play makes Jack well, Jack. Don't lead us along too long until they have that first kiss. Better yet, start the movie with it, usually with his shirt off and we are hooked. Some movies have the couple arguing too long, too long meaning we get up to get another glass of wine and get immediately sidetracked into something like doing the dishes or painting our nails. If the couple is at odds, just give them a little alcohol and have them lock lips. Or you can have them lock lips in the beginning them hate each other right afterwards to get the movie moving along. Show off. If the movie is setin a beautiful place, then show it. Take us to the beach with all the guys in no shirts (again, why we rent the movies) and add in a few bikinis for the poor sap sitting next to us pretending to like it. Show the beautiful sky, make everything look romantic and watch as we sigh when the couple gets together. Best example, Mama Mia and the Greek setting - amazing that we really never noticed that Pierce Brosnan singing. The whole point of the Romantic Comedy is to escape from reality, that's why we chose this over War and Peace or Steel Magnolias. With the right recipe of beefcake, eye candy and a filler of scenery you have the perfect movie any woman would want to watch.
