The Ultimate Sunday Rom-Com Marathon
By Aaren T. Quiambao
Okay, so it’s
Sunday. Now what?
You’re probably just
chilling on your bed right now, or watching endless episodes of your favorite
series online. Or maybe you’re just spending time with your family at this
moment since it’s the last day of the weekend before another Monday.
But just in case
you’re feeling a little senti (but
not too sappy and dramatic), why not have a romantic comedy marathon tonight?
Here are some flicks you can watch tonight to cap off your Sunday!
- The Ugly Truth (Starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler)
Laugh your heart off with the love story of an
“award-winning TV producer” Abby (Katherine Heigl) and a cable TV show host Mike
(Gerard Butler) who need to save each other’s jobs and reputation. But with
their opposing views and not-so-pretty encounter (Mike called Abby “ugly” live on
his cable TV show!) could they stop everything from getting chaotic?
We can only hope that opposites do attract!
- She’s The Man (Starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum)
When their school decides to shut down the girls’ soccer team, Viola (Amanda Bynes) can’t have it! The solution? She pretends to be her twin brother, Sebastian, and enrolls in his school to join their male soccer team. This way, she could go against the soccer guys of the other school to show them that girls can play soccer too! Plus, she meets her charming roommate Duke (Channing Tatum) who’ll teach her the ropes in the field... and in love.
Get nostalgic with this 2006 rom-com that defied the
limits of women in the world of sports!
Two undercover CIA agents shake their world of being
best friends when Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) decides to enter it. Who will win
her heart? Will it be FDR (Chris Pine), who’s always been the type to play
around? Or will it be Tuck (Tom Hardy), the sweet British boy who believes in
happy endings?
This flick will not only give you your dose of happy
vibes, but is action-packed as well!
- What’s Your Number? (Starring Chris Evans and Anna Faris)
According to Marie Claire magazine (at least in the movie anyway), the average
number of guys a girl will date before getting married is 10.5 and Ally (Anna
Faris) is horrified when she realizes
she’s dated guys way too over the average. What’s more, everyone
seems to be moving on with their lives and Ally’s feeling left out! Would any
of the guys she dated in the
past be worth the second look so she won’t go over her number? Or could her
handsome neighbor Colin (Chris Evans) who’s been helping her hunt all of them
down be the one?
- Trainwreck (Starring Amy Schumer and Bill Hader)
It was quite tough for Amy (Amy Schumer) when her dad
decided to divorce her mom. 23 years later, Amy lost faith in true love and in
loyalty. That is until she meets Aaron (Bill Hader), a sports doctor who fell
in love with Amy despite her imperfections. This scares Amy as she realizes
that Aaron is a good guy and that she might mess it up since she’s had cheating
tendencies.
Your typical love story? Nope. Just watch how two
powerhouse comedians turn a typical love story into something comically
heartwarming.
There’s our flick
list for tonight. And watching with your friends is an option you ought to take
too! So grab that DVD player (or laptop) and laugh your night away.
Let’s just hope you won’t forget it’s Monday
tomorrow.
