Entertainment Weekly just listed The 25 Worst Romantic Comedies. I’m not sure how these movies were judged. I do know that I’m a fan of romantic comedies but I haven’t heard of some of these movies. Maybe I’m not as much of a fan as I thought I was!
In fact, I’ve only seen 4 movies on this list. Alex and Emma reminded me of Audrey Hepburn’s Paris When it Sizzles. They were both bad movies. Who’s that Girl is supposedly a remake of Bringing Up Baby, but it didn’t anywhere close to that. Maybe Hollywood should refrain from remakes.
I don’t think All About Steve was a romantic comedy as much as it was a woman finding her place in the world, and I’m trying to remember what provoked me to see The Beautician and The Beast in the first place.
Is a romantic comedy you absolutely hated on this list?

I have seen a few of these… actually liked SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE and MANNEQUIN: ON THE MOVE… but it has been a while since I watched them…
Hmm, I saw only one. LOL Way back when, I saw Who’s That Girl. Probably in high school if I’m getting the years right. Anyway, I liked it, it was funny and all that. Perhaps if I were to see it now I might hate it given the years in between, but still, if you don’t take it seriously, it’s probably fine.
Just a question for them though — how could that Gigli be on the list, I thought practically no one saw it; so how would they know that it sucks that badly?

I haven’t seen any of these movies.
I saw the first Mannequin with Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy. I like that movie.
I hate to say it but I have seen 7 of the movies on the list. I didn’t go to the theater to see them. I rented them or saw them on direct TV.
They are all movies that one time watching was enough for me.
I liked the first Mannequin movie with Kin Cattrall too.
I remember seeing the first Mannequin movie and it was cute. Didn’t see the second one.
Lois, I think the top two movies were films that hardly anyone saw!
