You know the drill: We at least need two people who will fall in love (or who are already in love) who will go through some difficulties and funny moments but in the end will stay together. Even when we are faced with two options for one of the main characters (<a title=\"Review, trivia and quotes for the action romance comedy This Means War starring Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy.\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/a-funny-action-comedy-with-a-fun-romance-brilliant-ending\/\" target=\"_blank\">This Means War<\/a>, Sweet Home Alabama, <a title=\"Review of the entertaining romcom Someone Like You starring Hugh Jackman and Ashley Judd.\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/someone-like-you-old-cow-new-cow\/\" target=\"_blank\">Someone Like You<\/a>, The Wedding Planner, <a title=\"The Ugly Truth Review- starring Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl. The make-out scenes might be PG-13, but the talk is R.\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/the-ugly-truth\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Ugly Truth<\/a>\u2026) we always know which one the girl\/guy will pick, because only one of them obviously is right.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m not going to include movies like The Break-Up or <a title=\"Review for the critically praised, loved by men romantic drama comedy starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/500-days-of-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\">500 Days of Summer<\/a> because they break the cycle of romantic comedies by\u2026well, not ending up on a good note (or at least not on the good note expected from them). Oh, come on! Please don\u2019t blame me for spoiling those movies. Look at the name of the first one, and the premise of the second one (boy and girl meet, boy falls in love, girl doesn\u2019t.)<\/p>\n<p>Now, while I somewhat enjoyed The Break-Up and 500 Days of Summer (yes, this one was a lot better) , but they will never be my favorites. I get enough realism in real life or my dramas, so when it comes to romcoms\/chick flicks, I want a fun and happy ending.<\/p>\n<p>Not that I will say no to a touch of freshness or more action. So an R-rated romcom (such as <a title=\"Friends with Benefits plot,review, trivia - starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/friends-with-benefits-starring-justin-timberlake-mila-kunis\/\" target=\"_blank\">Friends with Benefits<\/a> as opposed to the common PG-13 romantic comedies), or a romcom with a lot of action (in fact some has action\/comedy in the core and romance in the background-such as Knight and Day, which I adore.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where<\/strong> <strong>Bradley Cooper, Justin Long &amp; Kevin Connolly Come In <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m fond of the clich\u00e9s aside from a love story and a happy ending. If the movie is good enough, you may not notice or be annoyed by them. Or you might enjoy how the clich\u00e9s are used.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8620\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8620\" style=\"width: 276px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/22-romantic-comedy-chick-flick-cliches-inspired-by-bradley-cooper-justin-long-kevin-connolly\/notintoyouposter\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8620\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-8620\" title=\"He's Just Not That Into You Movie Poster\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Notintoyouposter.jpg?resize=276%2C410\" alt=\"He's Just Not That Into You Movie Poster\" width=\"276\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Notintoyouposter.jpg?w=236&amp;ssl=1 236w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Notintoyouposter.jpg?resize=202%2C300&amp;ssl=1 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">He&#8217;s Just Not That Into starring Bradley Cooper, Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly, Ginnifer Goodwin, Drew Barrymore, Justin Long &amp; Kevin Connolly.

They list all the obvious clich\u00e9s in a fun effort to address the unwillingness of most males to scorn at the genre. So in order to show how their movie, He\u2019s Just Not That Into You, doesn\u2019t involve these clich\u00e9s (so guys shouldn\u2019t avoid their movie on principle), they have shot a hilarious video.<\/p>\n<p>And in their defense, their movie really isn\u2019t full of clich\u00e9s. Not all couples get a happy ending, not all men and women are romantic souls that are nice to others. Based on the best-selling relationship book of the same name, He\u2019s Just Not That Into You takes the situations in the book, and proves all the tips and advice in the movie. The book is a no-bullshit, tough love, honest look into all relationships, and how men\u2019s behavior are only open to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">one<\/span> interpretation in 99% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>I have to add, though, I like many of the movies I mentioned in this post. My true feelings are of course explained in the reviews, which I linked to.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, many movies got into several categories.<\/p>\n<p>Below are their clich\u00e9s, examples from movies.
