I Totally Agree! This Is One Of The Best (Feel-Good) Romantic Comedy's I've Ever Seen (Just Watched My ITunes Digital HD Again This Morning) And It Really Is Such A Shame That They Just Don't Produce Any More Like It...... Well At Least Not Of The Same Level Of Quality! LOL :)

I usually like edgy, state of the art stuff but this movie is and always has been one of my favs. Walken and Spacek are hilarious. Foley has some good lines as well. Not heady stuff but just good fun.

9/11. The 90s saw a buildup from the 80s as an overall positive. Comedy was the movie genre that was sitting at top. Pg-13 led the charge. Then 9/11, the recession, it all turned pessimistic and angry. TV shows turned into cop shows and 24. It just became all negative.

Good theory.

All sex rom-coms now.

Friends with Benefits

No Strings Attached

Super Bad

Etc.

It's amazing the world you open up when you don't make everything have to do about sex.

I remember a time where innuendo's ruled the day, and they were so much more fun than being raunchy and a straight up perv.

for some reason this movie always reminds me of So I Married an Ax Murderer, from about 1993. That was another light, 90's romantic comedy, with awesome performances by all the various supporting actors... it didn't try too hard, it was cheerful about its own ridiculousness, and it just managed to be the perfect escapist fun movie. Also, it had one of the best soundtracks from that whole decade, so, that was good too.

Who's... laughing... NOW?!? BZZZZZZ (hack hack spurt spurt) HA HA HAAA BZZZZZ HA HA HAAA

I agree.

I believe the last greatest romantic comedy was What Women Want (2000). After that, it pretty much went downhill from there. (Barf, Gigli (2003)).

I guess you could also throw-in The Notebook (2004), but most rom-coms nowadays are pretty much women demoralizing and degrading men as pompous sexual beasts.

It just seems like the days of actually writing great movies with couples are pretty much over. The '80s and '90s had some of the best ones.
