Unless you're particularly fond of either Paul Bettany or tennis, I don't think you'd enjoy it much (weak female lead).
'10 Things...' got an honorary mention when we were coming up with our list of top 5 romcoms at Pizza Express afterwards (we decided it was a teencom rather than a romcom, so it didn't make the list).
I've only seen the last of those, and I was on an aeroplane not bothering with the soundtrack, so the finer points of the plot eluded me...
There must be rom coms I like, but my brain is refusing to offer up anything closer to home than Romuald et Juliette. Gosh, it's years since I've seen that. I wish it would show up on BBC4 or something.
No Paul Bettany and tennis are not my favourite things. Besides, I got spoilt for tennis heroines after Nicolette in Streatfeild's 'Tennis Shoes'.
'10 Things' is definitely a teencom. Sugoll spent a lot of time picking out the bits from it that were mocked in 'Not Another Teen Movie'.
I think 'Legally Blonde', 'Addicted to Love' and 'Grosse Pointe Blank' would be on my list too, along with 'When Harry Met Sally'. I'd be torn between 'Four Weddings' and 'Notting Hill' for the 5th. I thought of 'Adventures in Babysitting', but that's a teen movie as well.
Legally Blonde rocks! Really, it's absolutely hilarious. Also, it is thoroughly and satisfyingly feminist. Grosse Pointe Blank is about a hired killer (the admirable John Cusack) going back to his high-school reunion.
Addicted to Love has Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick bent on revenge on the ex-partners who jilted them (and ran off with each other).
The other two are both Sandra Bullock film. We've watched Miss Congeniality far too many times. Michael Caine. William Shatner. Gosh, I really want to see it again now.

The trailers and posters haven't appealed to me at all.
On the other hand, we did watch '10 Things I Hate About You' again last night.

Oh! Just remembered Groundhog Day! And Mr A. just shouted up, "To Catch A Thief!"

Fair point.
I don't think I've seen 'To Catch a Thief'.
