The Romantics Looks Like a Sweet Movie About Adult Women Fighting Over a Cheesy Looking Dude

The image above is a just-released promotional photo for Katie Holmes and Josh Duhamel’s new movie The Romantics. I saw it and thought, “How cute. I bet that movie will be adorable.”

And then I read its IMDB page. Ready? Here’s the plot description:

Seven close friends reunite for the wedding of two of their friends. Problems arise because the bride and the maid of honor have had a long rivalry over the groom.

Oh, cool. So they’re basically making a movie out of the last situation I would ever want to witness/be a part of ever. Two grown women fighting digging up old beef over some hot dude that they both had a crush on. And it’s Katie Holmes and Anna Paquin (not pictured above)? Fabulous.

Call me a feminist spoil sport, but if I ever have to see another movie about women fighting at a wedding, I’ll kill myself. My Best Friend’s Wedding, Bride Wars. I’ve been there. Why don’t they make a movie about a woman who realizes she harbors insanely inappropriate feelings for a man who isn’t interested in her and instead of attending his wedding to ruin it with her own agenda, she decides to take the high road and stay home. Or, I don’t know, do something with her life that doesn’t involve chasing after someone who doesn’t love her.

I can love RomComs, guys. I can. But can we back off of this cliche for like, a decade maybe? Just enough time to get everyone’s heads straight?

  • Word, Molls. I hate this shit too. What bride is actually going to select a maid of honor with whom she has had a long rivalry over HER HUSBAND TO BE??? SO STOOOOOPID. I also found Bride Wars and pretty much every wedding comedy to be incredibly offensive.

  • Agreed. There are only 2 words that make me want to see this movie a tiny bit: Adam. Brody.

    How I’ve missed him.

  • I have absolutely nothing constructive to say. I just think you should read up on the movie a little more. Maybe even watch the trailer before saying stupid shit based on a photo shoot and a summary blurb.
