romantic comedy makeover sequence?

So I feel like there has been a lot of whining over the lack of decent romantic comedies out there. Could we be in for a change?

How Do You Know
Love and Other Drugs

Both these new movies seem to promise a alternative approach to the romantic comedy. Interestingly, they seem to embrace the down-and-outs of life in favor of a tale for older audiences, ripe with dry humor and life changes. Though Love and Other Drugs just appears to be this years' Up in the Air, the pattern seems to indicate a melancholy turn for cinematic romance. We'll see if it's enough to please the masses...

moral of the story:

don't listen to Stephen Hawking...?

statistical data to nip 3D in the bud.

I'm reluctant to jump up and down too soon, but I'm liking where these numbers are headed:

down, down down.
