Romantic Films/Comedies

Romantic Films/Comedies Feature Writer: Leslie C. Halpern

Welcome to the Romantic Films/Comedies section of Suite 101. Because this topic isn’t titled “Chick Flick Central,” I’ll try to stay away from too many overly sweet, tear-jerking, bodice-ripping romances that only women will enjoy. Instead, we’ll focus on reviews, interviews, behind-the-scenes stories, and analysis of romantic films, comedy films, and romantic comedies that appeal to a variety of audiences.

Romance and comedy are quite subjective, so feel free to jump in with your own suggestions of top-notch movies in these genres. Read my blogs and articles, and email me with your favorites.
