Romantic comedy films, also known as "rom-coms" or "romedies", are films with light-hearted, humorous plotlines, centered on romantic ideals such as that true love is able to surmount most obstacles. One dictionary definition is "a funny movie, play, or television program about a love story that ends happily". Another definition states that its "primary distinguishing feature is a love plot in which two sympathetic and well-matched lovers are united or reconciled".
Romantic comedy films are a sub-genre of comedy films as well as of romance films, and may also have elements of screwball comedies and stoner comedies. Some television series can also be classified as romantic comedies.
The basic plot of a romantic comedy is that two characters, usually a man and a woman, meet, part ways due to an argument or other obstacle, then ultimately reunite. Sometimes the two leads meet and become involved initially, then must confront challenges to their union. Sometimes they are hesitant to become romantically involved because they believe that they do not like each other, because one of them already has a partner, or because of social pressures. However, the screenwriters leave clues that suggest that the characters are, in fact, attracted to each other and that they would be a good love match. The protagonists often separate or seek time apart to sort out their feelings or deal with the external obstacles to their being together.
Comedy film is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humour. These films are designed to elicit laughter from the audience. Comedies are generally light-hearted dramas and are made to amuse and entertain the audiences. The comedy genre often humorously exaggerates situations, ways of speaking, or the action and characters.
Films in this style traditionally have a happy ending (the black comedy being an exception). One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies were comedies. Comedy, unlike other film genres, puts much more focus on individual stars, with many former stand-up comic transitioning to the film industry due to their popularity. While many comic films are lighthearted stories with no intent other than to amuse, others contain political or social commentary (such as Wag the Dog and Man of the Year).
The comedy genre can be considered the oldest film genre (and one of the most prolific and popular). Comedy was ideal for the early silent films, as it was dependent on visual action and physical humour rather than sound. Slapstick, one of the earliest forms of comedy, poked fun at physical mishap, usually in practical jokes, accidents and water soakings.
It's been five years we've had good and bad
The ivy grows thick in our dark backyard
When I shave in the morning you don't recognize me
I ask if you're still there and you answer truly
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
You think you're so bad but you're just badly raised
You twisted and turned all the love that we made
I cannot hold on and I cannot let go
I was wasted at fifteen never learned to go slow
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
You pick the curtains and I'll pick the sheets
The silver anniversary will be the next time we meet
I loved you before and I'll love you 'til then
You're my foe and my brother and lover and friend
Don't stay for the good stuff there ain't none left
I'll love you and leave you, drive from this town
if i give you a ring thers one thing you should know
You have seven seconds before it's too late to go
So, don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
I never ever wanna see you until our wedding day
don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
I never ever wanna see you until our wedding day
Don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
The devil sitting on my shoulder
He told me not to play the game
I thought that it could be some good advice
It's a terrible shame
My mom said it's a bad world
She told me of the sad girls
So what's the point in trying if it always ends the same?
Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my head
He's got a real bad attitude
It's all a waste of time
And it's a deja vu
It happens every time
My mom said it's a bad world
She told me of the sad girls
So what's the point in trying if it always ends in pain?
Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my
Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my head
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my
Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my head
A hole in my head
A hole in my head
A hole in my head
