Down with Love (2003)
Should have been a massive hit
One of the most intelligent romantic comedies ever made. From the clever dialogues, brilliant acting, gorgeous décor and costumes, this should have been a major success. What is wrong with film audiences that they didn't appreciate this absolute gem?
Mr. Right (2015)
Fantastic, outside the box romantic comedy
If I had to Marie Kondo all the romantic comedies I've ever seen, Mr Right would without hesitation be a keeper because it definitely sparks joy. Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick have firecracking chemistry, the story moves at a rollicking pace, the supporting actors are all outstanding, really, what's not to love? There's no over the top violence, no OTT sex, just crazy, fun, black humor. One of the few romantic comedies I can watch over and over and never tire of it. All thumbs up!
Old Yeller (1957)
wonderful movie, NOT cute!!
Since the only other comment describes Old Yeller as a "cute" movie, I feel compelled to write just in case there's anyone out there who hasn't seen this movie and is thinking about renting it for their kids. Old Yeller remains one of my childhood favorites, and I heartily recommend it, especially for dog lovers, but it is by no means "cute". It is an exceptionally beautiful story of love and loss and learning to grow up. However, the end is EXTREMELY sad and not appropriate for very young children. I definitely think that all parents should watch this movie with their kids, but they should carefully choose the age at which their child will be ready to handle the very tragic loss seen in this film.
