Janhvi Patel gives you a list of five Hollywood romantic comedies you should rent this weekend
Before Sunrise
Starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, this intensely romantic movie is a sheer delight for movie-lovers. After watching it, your optimism will be renewed and you will want the romance that the lead pair shares! Not to mention, you will want to travel to Europe and run into handsome and charmingly sweet strangers.
An Education
If you love everything English and French, this film is for you. Starring Peter Sarsgaard and Carey Mulligan, this film is about a young and ambitious girl who gets seduced by a charming older man and the way her life changes after that. It is a humourous and charming cautionary tale that makes for a delightful watch.
(500) Days of Summer
If you're heart-broken or love romantic comedies, then this one is for you. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in this non-linear romantic comedy with Zooey Deschanel, who plays the spontaneous titular character of Summer. The movie merits a second viewing and you'll want to get your hands on the original soundtrack.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This is one mind-bending and engaging romantic comedy. The sheer originality of the concept will blow your mind. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey (in unconventional roles) are in a relationship. When it does not work out, she decides to have her memories of him erased. Will he do the same? See it to believe it!
Definitely Maybe
There are three pretty women: Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz, and Isla Fisher, one cute guy: Ryan Reynolds, and a very smart kid: Abigail Breslin. Ryan is recently divorced and his daughter, Abigail makes him recall his past relationships to figure out who is "the one" for him. It's quite an endearing watch.
