I think the problem is studio's are going after established actors when women just want an attractive man, like they need to hire more unknown actors.

[quietcake]

Yes! More unknowns please! I think this applies to movies in general, new blood please (if anything to stop Chris Pratt from being in stuff he doesnt fit).

[devopet]

Seriously, many women are fine watching rando Canadians on Hallmark movies. They just need to be decent looking and seem like nice.

[likeanunmadebed]

Canadians?? They probably got their start on Degrassi.

[fernandocolunga]

Idiots. Given most talent of male Hollywood actors they should be happy they’re being offered employment.

I don’t need some hot Marvel dude, so maybe THAT is actually the problem here.

My favourite rom-com is When Harry Met Sally, the quality of the writing and his rizz in that movie had me fawning over Billy Crystal’s gremlin-ass self.

IA. Though i do hate how having a non-Marvel hot lead always translates to the man being average while the woman remains flawlessly gorgeous (Meg Ryan was so beautiful in WHMS!) but i don't care, i still love that movie, their looks worked just fine in that case.

Tom Hanks is another good example! Not a gremlin and I find him attractive in all his younger movies - Turner & Hooch, Sleepless in Seattle, etc., but he's not action star gorgeous and it doesn't matter. Good, charismatic actors is most important.

[moonisaballoon]

This I absolutely agree with. I want us to reach a point as society where we can equally recognise that the charisma of a woman can elevate her attractiveness in the same way we recognise it for men.

Yeah I love all of his older films so much. I love Big too - it would be made very differently today and the romance is just downright weird, but I watched it as a teen and loved it so much. I'm old enough to have watched films on video and Big was one I watched a million times. Tom Hanks is fantastic in it.

I find Kate Hudson very charismatic and charming onscreen and I enjoyed her run as a romcom queen. Male actors are dumb to not want to do them.

My top 3 :

1. Bride Wars. I loved it even when it was cool to shit on it, I'm glad the tides seemed to have turned the past few years. Anne and Her need to do another movie together

2. How to lose a guy

3. Something Borrowed. Clearly not a good movie, but again, she makes it enjoyable by sheer charisma.

[moonisaballoon]

I LOVED Something Borrowed. I think she played the psychology of that character so well, she could have so easily been really unlikable.

[post_dada]

I watched Bride Wars for the first time maybe 3-4 years ago and I keep coming back to it as a rewatch. The friendship at the heart of the movie and the acting by the Kate Hudson & Anne Hathaway really makes it work

[lovelylaura23]

Something Borrowed is one of the worst movies I've seen....but even I have to admit... Kate was great in it.

[sandstorm]

Rom coms don't interest me but that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist for the people who do like them. In the past 10 years I have only seen 3 and i've only revisited one bc that's Crazy Rich Asians.

[goldenhera]

Yeah, I'm not a big rom com girl but I want more of them to be made. They're a good test of an actor's charisma.

[maiden0froses]

Same, modern rom-coms are a bore to me but I enjoy the ones from the 30s and 90s. Actors back then used to have charisma and chemistry 🔥

[somthingshinyy]

Ooooh the 30’s - have any recommendations?
