Valentines Day - Rom Com Day!

It's February, and it's coming up to the biggest day in the year for Love.
This is when we all go out and buy chocolates, Flowers, Teddybears and whatever else we can throw at our halves or romantic interests to get them in the mood.


The problem arises what film should you go and see at the cinema or sit down with a bottle of wine and in my case cry over the fact I haven't got a boyfriend (boo hoo to me) and stick a dvd in.

Now for some, the option is of course the Rom Com... whilst men want something with high action and loads of explosions the girls always win on the day! So here goes... ladies and gentlemen the recommendations for the films that you can watch and maybe have a laugh to ... or fall asleep.

First in the cinemas:

Is that Patrick Jane in the Poster?? 

Yes from the creator of all the classic Romantic Comedy Films , I Give It A Year is all about Newlywed's surviving  their first year of marriage. So with any typical Rom Com there is Love and Laughter throughout.

Hey it's Mike From Friends!!!

 Yes released in the UK on the big day itself, This is 40 kinda says what the narrative is in the actual title. Following a married couple through the trails and tribulations of being 40 and also the sort of follow up to Knocked Up... so for the blokes they may enjoy it!

The Ladies in the audience with of course know Paul Rudd as Mike from Friends, so fellas if you hear:
"OMG HE'S CHEATING ON PHOEBE!!!!"

Take no notice of it.





Now for all us single ladies .... and maybe men... we all have a Richard Curtis films in our DVD collection which we bring out with a tub of Ben and Jerry's, a bottle of Wine (Red,White or Rose) and a blanket and snuggle up on the sofa and turn these films on so my pick of the Richard Curtis Pops:

Yes I can hear the Male groans already!
 But say what you want about Bridget Jones's Dairy it never fails to make me and mum smile!!!!

Yes this seemly great love triangle story follows one girl in London Town trying to date the perfect man!

Now Hugh Grant (In every Richard Curtis FILM!!!) is Daniel Cleever the bad guy of the film and he is up against the boring and bumbling idiot that is Mr Darcey (aka Collin Firth) but in the grand scheme of this he is the safer option. With Bridget in the middle with her best friends, vodka and cigarettes and her massive collection of books about what Men really want. This film is for all girls to sit down to in our Onsies and watch Bridget go through what every girl goes through in a more comical light.

Four Weddings and a Funeral is again a film that tells you what the plot line is before you've ever sat down to watch it.

Released in 1994 (I was 2 at the time!) the film follows five different lives with Hugh's character realises he might have fallen in love.

Also the soundtrack is more famous than the film and was taken the mickey out of in Love Actually.

Search Wet Wet Wet, Love is all around me in youtube!


Yep Notting Hill, again with Hugh Grant in the film... told you, you can't avoid him!!!! A Film about a famous film star who falls in love with an ordinary Book Shop Owner in Notting Hill so so simple!

The Only film that won't make this list is of course is Love Actually as you dig it out at Christmas!!!!! 

What ever you decide to watch I hope it is a good one.... also there are other films available not just the ones above!
