Do young women need rom-coms anymore?…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week the highly anticipated trailer dropped for 2019\u2019s biggest rom-com Isn\u2019t it Romantic<\/em>.\u00a0The film drops on Valentine’s Day (because of course), and stars Rebel Wilson, who plays a down-on-her-luck New Yorker. Then, one day somebody in the subway hits her on the head, which sends her to the hospital. She wakes up, with a seemingly perfect life. A beautiful apartment, adorable purebred dog, and the ever handsome, Chris Hemsworth loves her unconditionally. Isn\u2019t it Romantic<\/em> joins the growing list of movies in this rom-com subgenre, which I am now claiming as \u201caverage girl fairytales\u201d. The average girl fairytale consists of an average-looking\/relatable actress whose lives are spiraling out of control for some reason. Then, something happens in which these women get minor brain injuries (can anybody say I Feel Pretty?)<\/em>, and wake up living the life they\u2019ve always wanted. They have the perfect job, the perfect closet, and the perfect boyfriend.<\/p>\n

Aside from the obvious questions I have about why this subgenre seems to be gaining more traction, why do these women need minor brain injuries to realize that they\u2019re the whole package just as they are? Is that the only way people of average appearance are supposed to believe they are worthy of love\/a fulfilling life? I then realized that it had been a while since a romantic comedy tugged at my heartstrings, and gave me hope that someday, even I<\/em> would find somebody to love. Any of the rom-coms that have come out in the past few years have blurred into each other in one lump of disappointing content, probably due to the fact that none of them seem to speak to the trials and tribulations of modern dating. \u00a0I couldn\u2019t help but wonder\u2026 Do modern woman need romantic comedies anymore?\u00a0 Since I have strong opinions on romance, and comedy, and my usual response to any of my friends who have relationship problems is \u201cdump him,\u201d I felt I was the best person to investigate further.<\/p>\n

I have a strong feeling that the first problem is that women aren\u2019t seeing themselves in these movies anymore. Wilson took the liberty of calling Isn\u2019t it Romantic<\/em> the first romantic comedy that features a plus-size actress in a lead role. Now, well we are all stoked to see some more body diversity in film, we cannot, and will not discredit icons Queen Latifah, and Mo\u2019Nique on playing romantic leads as plus-size women long before this movie came along. Representation matters more than ever right now and as much as movies are supposed to provide some type of escapism, women want something real. That\u2019s why Netflix\u2019s To All the Boys I Loved Before<\/em> did so well this summer. The film was given high praise from various media outlets, as well as teens on the Internet (that\u2019s how you know you\u2019ve made it, by the way). The protagonist, was fresh, and had flaws that we knew about right from the start of the film. Even if you weren\u2019t a shy high-school student, with a passion for handwritten love letters, you probably still felt like you had a little bit of Lara Jean in you. And even if you know with all of your heart that the high school version of you could have never nabbed a Peter Kavinsky, you probably felt like you could at the end of the movie. To all the Boys I\u2019ve Loved Before<\/em> was a beacon of light for modern romantic comedies. It showed us that that they could be smart, and relevant, and inclusive. Women want to see complex, multi-dimensional women, with fulfilling careers. They want to see themselves projected into that story.<\/p>\n

The second problem is that all of these movies seem to feature a romantic relationship that start and grow organically. Why do none of these ladies have to sift through hundreds of guys on an iPhone app? I have a job, and a life that leaves little time for single mingling. I don\u2019t have time to go to a bar in hopes of running into my handsome leading man. Does that even happen anymore? Or all we all too scared as women to talk to strangers in bars with the hope of meeting \u201cthe one\u201d? Digital dating has revolutionized the way we interact with those we\u2019re romantically interested in, for better or for worse. Has online dating ruined romance for young people? Or has it just made it more efficient for us to date in our fast paced world? The fact is, people don\u2019t want to pay to watch somebody else\u2019s problems when they have their own to solve. \u00a0I want a movie about a girl who finds love in her career. I want a movie about a girl who ends up alone, and is ok with it. I want a movie that follows a relationship that doesn\u2019t start with a meet-cute at a neighborhood bar.<\/p>\n

So no, I don\u2019t need to watch Rebel Wilson fumble around on screen for two hours, while Chris Hemsworth pines after her, because that isn\u2019t real life. Romantic comedies are an escape, but that\u2019s about it. Young girls spend their lives watching helpless women get everything they\u2019ve ever wanted. Then they grow up and realize a relationship is work. \u00a0As real as they may seem sometimes, romantic comedies just aren\u2019t it anymore. The modern woman is smart, and she\u2019s going to need a little bit more than a surface-level storyline. We are living in the age of the independent woman. For the first time, maybe ever, it is totally cool for young women to choose to chase a dream that doesn\u2019t involve a man. Young women don\u2019t need romantic comedies unless they evolve with us, because you don\u2019t always need to end up \u201ctogether\u201d. I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret, it\u2019s ok to want to be on your own, and work on yourself. This obviously doesn\u2019t mean that you have to abandon all of your old favourites, because I plan on watching Bridget Jones<\/em> until I die. The only difference when I watch it now is that I know that Mark Darcy isn\u2019t real, and that\u2019s ok because I know something way better is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
