5->''"Why is it so damn hard to make a successful romantic comedy? All you need is two likable people the audience wants to see [[RidingIntoTheSunset walk off into the sunset together]] by FadeOut. And yet, the {{cliche}}s that poison this genre are repeated ''ad nauseam''. Some examples: there's a sense of [[EntitledToHaveYou male entitlement]] that can often err on the side of being a {{stalker|WithACrush}}. Or the plot throws in [[ConflictBall unnecessary issues]] designed to keep the lovers apart. Or, and this is my least favorite, [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim the woman clearly should NOT be with this hideous creature]] and yet, she falls for him anyway. Filmmakers always overcomplicate what should be a simple matter and the result sinks like a lead soufflé. I'm starting to think that every rom-com is simply a remake of the awful one that preceded it."''
