I'll put up with it for Star Trek, but not for Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel "meeting cute" with some bland milquetoast love interest.

There are good romcoms, there are bad ones. Guess which ones people will still be renting 50 years from now? I feel like this is the nature of any medium. I mean, fuck, Everybody Loves Raymond was like the most popular show for awhile.

Even the ads for He's Just Not That Into You made me want to claw my eyes out. I like romantic escapism- girl meets boys, minor misunderstandings occur, some verbal banter and viola, they end up together. What I am not interested in is a movie that tells me it is hard for a woman to find love but not a man. It isn't romantic escapism to watch women chase after guys who aren't into them (while that could be a good drama).
I'm also tired of male centered rom coms. Outside of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and a few others they are mostly about guys who have been absolutely horrible to women in the past (Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Made of Honor, My Best Friend's Girl). I don't find that romantic or realistic. I don't even understand how they keep getting made. Most guys aren't Lotharios, most women don't want douchebags, and they aren't even very funny.
Bring on the formula!

Also, Shirley MacLaine is great and I'm liking Hathaway more, lately.
