Top 10 Times Rom-Coms Tackled Serious Issues

[@trinaq]

I love how "Waitress" had a realistic ending. While it WOULD have been nice to see Jenna and Dr. Pottamer end up together, it's for the best that they split up, since he's already married, and she wants to give her daughter Lulu the best possible life.

[@AlanOnBass65]

I really liked how "Love and Other Drugs" tackled someone dealing with their Parkinsons diagnosis and being scared to be open to a relationship.

[@geviesanta3631]

Hey what about Hitch? This underrated Rom-com goes through a topic about how both men and women should interact with each other when they pursue romantic relationships in general.

[@andrewjones575]

Underrated? It isn't funny, doesn't give useful advice about getting action, the acting is poor as is the script.

[@Showtunediva]

Tom Hanks was phenomenal in Sleepless In Seattle. I almost cried during that movie.

[@ge0rgialiv]

Nobody going to talk about 50 first dates it’s a great film n talks about people that survive car crashes

[@jenplinguist]

Some little specks of Jack Torrance in the "As Good As It Gets" segment! So happy Adrienne Shelly's movie made #1. One of the best movies ever.

[@andrewjones575]

Pretty Woman is more unbelievable than most romcoms. Edward wouldn't spend a great deal of time, money & effort classing up a streetwalker. He'd hire a high-class call girl.

[@harsyakiarraathallah2222]

We need these kind of Rom-Com. Not just Fun Romance, but also Important Life Lesson.

[@nellabozhko6941]

Stepmom tackles some serious issues: divorce, cancer, having a step parent after divorce.

[@andrewjones575]

Sleepless in Seattle is much more drama than comedy.

[@angelaholmes8888]

It was really hard watching the scene in pretty woman when Phillip tries to assault vivian

[@christineparis5607]

You aren't kidding! I still can't see it without feeling sick. Like too many women, I was assaulted at a young age, and it's a sickening, lingering feeling that you never get over. Mostly feeling like you're somehow at fault, or were too stupid to see the danger. I was just young and trusting. I would think that a Hollywood prostitute like Vivian wouldn't be too surprised to get unwanted attention, but I still thought it was incredibly realistic when she is upset at not being prepared for nasty behavior because of her situation. That hit home. I'm 61, and still have some pretty awful memories, but have managed to turn it into a strong feeling of wanting to help others who have suffered from the same situation. I have understanding and empathy I never would have had, so I've been able to empower myself and others, and hopefully, help some folks. We can't forget that many men have also suffered from unwanted sexual predators as well, and rarely get acknowledged or taken as seriously as they should be. Everyone deserves the right to use their bodies as they wish, and never be forced into ANYTHING that makes them uncomfortable.

[@lisamariealaniz7538]

I know right for me too it's always difficult to watch scene like that in a movie 🍿🎥 evil perpetrators rapist rape molest a prey on a kid or woman.

[@takimalewis9386]

50 first dates deserved a place on this list

[@albertmccarthy7232]

I think maybe baby is really underrated and I like the way that it tackles two people who seems to have it all but can’t have a child

[@LadyEowyn]

I had to watch three times to understand "ob-gine". Never heard it phrased like that. Maybe I'm ignorant.

[@andrewjones575]

I've also never heard it said that way by anyone else.

[@sarahramsey9454]

unplanned pregnancy not just knocked up also what to expect when you expecting but losing someone who you cared for heart breaking or death divorce always hard

[@thatbee3585]

I love as good as it gets!!! Such a wonderful movie.

[@kennethzinke9168]

A decade later, Nathan Fillion auditioned to portray a crazed L.A. cop on ABC's The Rookie, but, not until he auditioned to portray a crazed New York cop on ABC's Castle.

[@nadiamckinney270]

I love Crazy Rich Asians

[@Ori_Kohav]

“Our Idiot Brother” Each of Ned’s sisters has an issue that they’re forced to face due to his inability to keep secrets.

[@sharshar23422]

I was just about to say this one - it's very good at showing family problems

[@andrewjones575]

Most of these contain far more drama than comedy, so shouldn't be described as romcoms.

[@matthijssmeets9325]

Can i have a request? The top 10 crossovers in Ghost Whisperer that made us cry.

[@thatbee3585]

There’s some really good movies on this list and some of them are my favorite !!!!!!!!!!!

[@JulieOfSuburbia]

Trainwreck is such a good movie. It’s so underrated.

[@andrewjones575]

It starts as a fun comedy, but loses its way.

[@lisamariealaniz7538]

I agree 👍💯

[@andrewjones575]

SLP certainly isn't a romcom & I don't know why many people describe it as such. It's less than 5% comedy & there's not much romance in it. It's primarily an unhappy drama. Why does it have a gambling subplot that isn't in the novel it's based on? Jennifer Lawrence was far too young to play her role. She was in her early 20s, playing a widow who has a great deal of life experience who is clearly written as being a couple of decades older than that. It's unusual in the Western world for a person in their early 20s to have married & very rare for them to be widowed. That year's Best Actress Oscar should have gone to Naomi Watts for her performance in The Impossible.

[@scottibrown3274]

Either Naomi Watts or Jessica Chastain for Zero Dark Thirty

[@andrewjones575]

Why is Crazy Rich Asians usually described as a comedy? It's less than 10% comedy. If that's a comedy, so is Die Hard.

[@justineves3588]

very very great list I like it a lot very great job mis mojo one of my favorite list ever ❤

[@priscilladeangelis8048]

Perfect thank you

[@MsMojo]

No problem 😊

[@andrewjones575]

As Good As It Gets is more of a drama than a comedy, isn't believable & the characters are unlikeable. Why is it praised so much.

[@nellabozhko6941]

No way that's Christopher Plummer? Dang I didn't recognize him.

[@priscilladeangelis8048]

Wonderfull

[@nellabozhko6941]

Did I just see Jett Travolta?

[@andrewjones575]

The subplot in Trainwreck of the protagonist's father becoming ill & dying is out of place. It starts as a fun comedy, so why include a miserable subplot?

[@annabeatrizdossantoslucena]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kriscynical]

......do people actually pronounce OB/GYN as "obgine"? If so, I've NEVER heard it before. Don't you just say the letters...?

[@ricardocjoulzenn2568]

So many unplanned pregnancy situations been happening yet we dont see anyone eductaing women about "pre-ejaculation" while having sex causing pregnancy before the guy made a huge eaculation after minutes....even i know that

[@YummyFoodSecrets1]

❤❤

[@kimble90126]

Omg

[@forever.meimei]

First

[@sararoberts4751]

What about physical disabilities? Oh yeah I forgot. We don’t talk about that. We’re still not considered as human in this modern society. We’re only pitied. A taboo and a burden.

[@nellabozhko6941]

As someone who has a learning disability myself I feel that way too. I also feel awkward and out of place. The meanest thing someone ever called me was retarded. I also get offended by the word normal.

[@wowjennawow]

amen. i have yet to find a good one i connect with lol
