Marketing New Brain: Apr 26, 2008

Don't be confused by it containing Meg Ryan, patron saint of RomComs, City of Angels is not a romantic comedy, it is just a romance movie. Two people falling in love and a happy ending are the cornerstones of the genre, without it I don't think you have a romantic comedy.

I'd also argue The Princess Bride isn't a romantic comedy, because the movie isn't about them falling in love, that's like a 10 second blurb at the beginning. Great movie, but definitely an adventure comedy, almost none of the time is spent with us watching them fall in love with each other.
