Romantic comedy

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

A romantic comedy may be a film or novel, presenting a story about romance in a comedic style. Works in this genre are generally considered light-hearted, and are often associated with the vaguely derogatory terms "chick lit" or "chick flick", meaning "primarily aimed at a female audience". The best romantic comedies, however, explore themes of gender, relationship, sexuality and morality, and many enduring cultural icons—characters such as Annie Hall and Michael Dorsey of Tootsie—have emerged from this ever-popular form.
