If you are looking for a great movie to watch on a date night, and are looking for a good compromise between genres, romantic comedies may not always be an option. Many men (as well as some women) find these movies to be unappealing, however you should know that there are some good options out there.
Here is a list of what I consider to be the most enjoyable movies of the romantic comedy genre to come out in theaters from 2000 to 2010.
I will have to start off with probably the best film of any on this list, and that is none other than Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Oddly enough, this film has a very serious subject matter to it, and can be considered dark comedy as well. This might be my favorite Jim Carrey movie of any.
If you are looking for something outside the box, yet still enjoyable, you should consider The Science Of Sleep, directed by Michel Gondry. This film is visually trippy and stars the incredibly talented Gael Garcia Bernal.
It goes without saying that The 40 Year Old Virgin should be on this list. Steve Carrell stars in his breakout role as a virgin, who is, as the title would suggest, 40 years old. Directed by the great Judd Apatow, this film is filled with laughs.
Any fan of Woody Allen films should check out Vicky Christina Barcelona. Woody Allen has always been exceptional at showcasing the cities in which his movies take place, and Vicky Christina Barcelona shows the beauty of the Spanish city brilliantly. It is truly amazing the range that Javier Bardem has showed recently. In just a few months, he went from playing one of the most terrifying villains in cinematic history (Anton Sigur in the multiple Academy Award Winning film No Country For Old Men) to playing a seductive Spanish romantic in this film.
One last film that I feel compelled to mention is Hitch. I tend to like most films that Will Smith is in, but this movie surely is the most romantic of comedies in his catalogue. Its funny, its cute, its plain and simple, an enjoyable film.
Hopefully you found one or more films on this list that you will consider next time you want to watch a romantic comedy.
