The romance genre falls under a lot of scrutiny, but a lot can be forgiven in the story and tropes of a romantic comedy if the chemistry between the central couple is good. When it comes to these rom-coms, the lead actors are so lacking in this department that it can be difficult to watch their onscreen relationships develop. While few of these performers are bad actors or genuinely seem to hate each other, they simply aren't believable as a couple, and this throws off the entire dynamic of a film that relies on the success of its love story. 1u1w4n

Even though there are plenty of Christmas movies to choose from, we think you should give these a chance this year.

Romantic comedies typically dominate the box office in February with moviegoers celebrating Valentine's Day. While that's great, it often leaves romantic comedy fans with nothing new to watch the rest of the year. Hallmark and Lifetime might have the romance Christmas movie market covered, but romantic comedy fans still want comedy in their movies. However, romantic comedy fans don't have to wallow too much because there's a surprising number of romantic comedy Christmas movies out there. Even some of the best Christmas classics are similar to romantic comedies.

Happiest Seasonis a Christmas movie that follows the relationship of Abby and Harper through a lot of ups and downs—mostly downs—but, somehow, they still end up together in the end, even though they should not have. A Hulu streaming movie, Happiest Seasons was released in 2020, becoming one of not many mainstream movies to feature an LGBTQ+ couple as the lead. This romantic comedy movie, which stars Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis, follows Abby and Harper as they travel to Harper’s family home to celebrate the holidays. Their relationship is tumultuous, to say the least, for most of the film due to Harper’s actions.

The new Hulu movie Crush is a touching and artfully-crafted coming-of-age movie, but what makes it especially charming is its sensitive and sweet portrayal of teenage gay love. Indeed, like many other similar movies, it gives young of the LGBT+ community the opportunity to see themselves on-screen and to have a story that ends happily, largely eschewing the high-stakes drama of some other teenage stories.

Hulu's Fire Island follows two best friends and their larger squad as they spend their vacation time on the well-known gay hotspot of the titular southern shore of Long Island. What follows is a rom-com unlike any other, loosely based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

American streaming service, Hulu, started back in 2008, focusing mainly on content owned by outside production companies. In 2011, it started producing original content. And while Hulu is known most for its original TV series, it does have a number of original films of note.

Unlike many other Hollywood actresses, Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza puts her idiosyncrasies on display in almost every interview. The film roles she selects often fit the mold of an offbeat, deadpan oddball that Plaza has been filling in Hollywood for over a decade. While comedy is her genre of choice, she's also done great work in dramas and thrillers.

Here is a guide to everything that Dan Levy has done since the critically acclaimed Schitt's Creek ended. The renowned comedy series followed the story of the Roses, a wealthy family displaced by their financial planner's indiscretions who find themselves living in a run-down motel in the titular town. The show, which initially premiered on Pop TV, found huge success when it started streaming on Netflix in 2017. The show was something of a family project for Levy; he co-created it with his father, Eugene Levy, and co-starred with his dad and sister, Sarah Levy. Schitt's Creek ended after 6 seasons, and fans were left wondering what Levy would be working on next.

She might be best known for playing Parks And Recreation's April Ludgate, but here's a guide to the career of Aubrey Plaza so far.
