' Rom-coms that don’t want to be rom-coms." That's the point. {nm} Antibody Dec 01, 10:34

then they're not actually rom-coms so . . . {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 01, 10:44

So Deconstructed Rom-Coms? {nm} Antibody Dec 01, 10:58

this is like me saying i'm going to deconstruct the action movie by writing one with no action. if you put your love interest in a coma for slipping jimmy Dec 01, 11:01

Well, The Big Sick is basically a de/reconstructed version of While You Were Sleeping, a traditional RomCon. {nm} Antibody Dec 01, 11:03

but it didn't play out like a rom com. rom coms skew very female (2/3). Big Sick was closer to 50/50 or like an indie drama {nm} Moviesnob Dec 01, 11:14

yeah. which again, i was fairly engaged with (I love a good James Brooks as much as anyone). but i was expecting something else {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 01, 11:16

I saw it at Sundance so it was hard not to expect a Sundance film. I should clarify that it was majority female, but not as heavily as most Moviesnob Dec 01, 11:24

His argument is that they are romantic comedies which don't have the familiar tropes. I'm saying they aren't romantic comedies at all {nm} parthm_ Dec 01, 10:57

Seriously, this is one of the worst articles ever written. I award David Poland no points and may God have mercy on his soul. JSpicoli13 Dec 02, 01:33

Honestly DMac, linking to this garbage is beneath you. {nm} JSpicoli13 Dec 02, 01:34
