The 17 Best Romantic Comedies This Decade17個最浪漫的喜劇這十年

February 6, 2009  |  7:00am

New York Times critic A.O. Scott said it best: “It might be Kate Hudson, or maybe Mandy Moore, or possibly Rachel Weisz, Lindsay Lohan or a Jennifer (Lopez? Aniston? Garner?) But if it’s February, you can be pretty sure that some pretty, plucky actress will be traipsing around some glamorous and photogenic American city (or its Canadian double) in search of the dimple-chinned fellow who embodies her one true love.” Sure enough, he’s right: Hudson can currently be seen in Bride Wars, and Aniston in He’s Just Not That Into You. That’s not even mentioning Renée Zellweger in New in Town, or Last Chance Harvey, or Confessions of a Shopaholic.

Even if this glut of less-than-inspiring movies doesn’t exactly, well, inspire confidence in romantic comedies, the genre is far from dead. The best in recent years have often been the ones to bend and defy the genre—or, in other words, the ones that don’t seem like romantic comedies. With that in mind, the past eight years have been especially fruitful for the genre. Here are 17 great examples from the past eight years. Romantic comedy is a sort of loose, malleable term, but the way I’ve defined it is this: the movie must be marginally funny and/or sweet, and there must be a romantic relationship (or relationships) at the movie’s core. Fans of Love, Actually, prepare to be disappointed.

17. Waitress (2007)

“I don’t want you to save me. Don’t need to be saved.”

Every bit as comforting as the delicious, candy-colored pies Keri Russell bakes in the film. Waitress is a honeyed little comedy that should speak to anyone who has ever felt stuck in a situation. And as good as Russell is, the film’s true star is its writer/director/co-star, the late Adrienne Shelly. Murdered before the film saw its release, the film stands as a wonderfully bittersweet testament to her considerable talent.
 
16. The Science of Sleep (2006)

science_of_sleep.jpg
“You could sleep with the entire planet and still feel rejected.”

The Science of Sleep is the story of a man who habitually distorts realities. The only thing that makes sense to him is his attraction to the girl next door. When she (Charlotte Gainsbourg) asks him (Gael García Bernal) why he likes her, he responds by saying “because everyone else is boring.” Michel Gondry’s visually rich, experimental tale depicts young love for what it really is: intense, immature and frustrating, yes, but also honest, deep and true.  
 
15. Ghost Town (2008)

ghost_town.jpg
“It hurts when I smile…”

Audiences gave this Ricky Gervais vehicle the cold shoulder last fall, and who could blame them? The premise appeared to be nothing more than The Sixth Sense redid as a rom-com. While that might be true, Ghost Town is that and so much more. It’s a sweet tale of lonely souls struggling to connect and to love, and a perfect showcase for Téa Leoni, Greg Kinnear and, especially, the terrific Gervais, who shines as the man who undergoes a Bill Murray in Groundhog Day-type transformation.
 
14. Bridget Jones’s Diary
 (2001)

bridget_jones.jpg
“I’m still looking for something…more extraordinary than that.”

Diehards may have been initially miffed at her casting, but Renée Zellweger was crucial to the movie’s success. She’s boundlessly charming as Bridget Jones, gaining 20 pounds to play the British singleton who falls for Hugh Grant and (eventually) Colin Firth. From her appalling bad public speeches to lip-synchingto Sad F.M. songs in her pajamas, Zellweger carries the film on her (still slender) shoulders.
 
13. The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005)

40_year_old_virgin.jpg
“Is it true if you don’t use it, you lose it?”

Judd Apatow has emerged as the major new voice in the world of romantic comedy. His first directorial effort, The 40-Year-Old Virgin is a big, goofy, hilarious mess of a movie that is anchored by the easy charm of its two principle leads, Steve Carell and Catherine Keener. Their no-nonsense romance is surprisingly understated and adult in a movie with an outrageous premise and lewd jokes. Leslie Mann also deserves credit for that hilarious French toast scene. 
 
12. Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

vicky_cristina.jpg
 “Only unfulfilled love can be romantic.”

Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona centers on Javier Bardem’s relationships with three wildly different women: the adventurous but indecisive Cristina (Scarlett Johannson), the practical but insecure Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and his fiery would-be soul mate Maria Elena (Penélope Cruz). The intoxicating locales of Spain hightlight this delightfully playful romp, a provocative film that blurs the lines between love and lust.
 
11. Lars and the Real Girl (2007)

lars_and_the_real_girl.jpg
“Sometimes I get so lonely I forget what day it is…”

Lars and the Real Girl’s premise should have been cringe-worthy: Ryan Gosling dates a life-size sex doll, and the entire town goes to great lengths to protect the fairy tale. But Nancy Oliver’s Oscar-nominated script is so gentle, and so melancholic, that it becomes a quietly powerful story of a stunted man who finally comes of age. Darkly funny but sweet-natured, Lars is a small treasure.
 
10. About a Boy (2002)

about_a_boy.jpg
“No man is an island”

No stranger to romantic comedies, Hugh Grant delivered perhaps his best performance ever in About a Boy, a different kind of rom-com. Through his relationship with a young teenager, Grant subtly transforms from notorious womanizer into, well, a man capable of loving the beautiful Rachel Weisz. Grant’s relationship with the boy is tender and thoughtful, much like the film itself. 
 
9. Juno (2007)

juno.jpg
“I don’t really know what kind of girl I am.”

Much has been made about the Diablo Cody-isms that permeate the script, but the heart of Juno is Ellen Page, and her coming to terms with her feelings for Michael Cera. Sure, it takes getting pregnant for her to realize the man of her dreams is the wimp in yellow shorts, but then, the characters in Juno aren’t like normal people anyway. Page’s heavy-lifting deserved every bit of that Oscar nomination.
 
8. Knocked Up (2007)

knocked_up.jpg
“You’re prettier than I am.”

Sure, there’s a graphic scene involving a baby coming out of a womb. Yes, there’s nudity and plenty of expletives. And ok, it is sort of strange how a schlub like Seth Rogen can get a girl like Katherine Heigl. Even so, there’s an inherent sweetness toKnocked Up that make it such a pleasure to watch. Judd Apatow’s treatment of the supporting characters, like Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, also help catapult the film into one of the genre’s very best. 
 
7.  Sideways(2004)

sideways.jpg
“I like to think about the life of wine. How it’s a living thing…”

Sideways is a pretty great buddy comedy (featuring a hilariously brazen performance from Thomas Haden Church), but it’s an even better romanticcomedy. At its heart is the tender relationship between Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Maya (Virginia Madsen), two bruised divorcees who forge a tenuous connection to each other. From both of their beautiful speeches expressing their love of Pinot Noir to the wonderfully poignant open-ended knock at the door, their romance is note-perfect.
 
6. Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

punch_drunk_love.jpg
“I’m lookin’ at your face and I just wanna smash it…you’re so pretty.”
 

No doubt about it: Punch-Drunk Love is an odd little film. Director Paul Thomas Anderson recruited Adam Sandler, of all people, to star in his offbeat romantic comedy about a emotionally immature businessman prone to explosive fits of rage. He meets a kindred spirit in Emily Watson, leading the two to proclaim same rather curious declarations of love. The power of Punch-Drunk lies in the thrill that, after ages of loneliness, someone can come along and understand you with just one quick glance. 
5. High Fidelity (2000)

high_fidelity.jpg
“Did i listen to pop music because I was miserable?
Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?”
 

It’s no coincidence Nick Hornby wrote both About a Boy and High Fidelity, and both movie adaptations show up on this list (let’s ignore Fever Pitch for the time being). Hornby really is tapped into the psyche of the 20th century male. John Cusack plays the every-man type who retraces his past girlfriend history only to find he let the perfect woman slip through his fingers. Funny, insightful and insanely quotable,High Fidelity plays like an ultra-hip Woody Allen movie, which is a very good thing indeed. 

4. Wall-E (2008)

wall_e.jpg
“Computer: define dancing.”
 

Before you cry foul, let’s think about the plot of Wall-E for a second: lonely boy meets girl, falls in love, and chases girl to the ends of the earth—or, in this case, the universe. How is that not a romantic comedy? Nevermind they’re robots. Nevermind the lack of dialogue. Nevermind it’s animated. When Wall-E and Eve dance together in the sky amongst the stars, we might as well be watching the second coming of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. 

3. Amélie (2001)

amelie.jpg
“A surge of love, an urge to help mankind overcomes her.”
 

A delicate, delicious little French trifle, Amélie is easily the most romantic film on this list. The adorable Audrey Tautou launched herself into the American consciousness as the quirky do-gooder waitress who sends her secret crush photos and riddles masking her identity in order to make their first encounter—and first kiss—the most romantic moment of her life. Endlessly imaginative and beautifully photographed, Amélie is a film to be treasured. 

2. Before Sunset (2004)

before_sunset.jpg
“You were, for me, that night / Everything I always dreamt of in life.”
    

Two people meet on a train and spend a romantic night together in Vienna—talking, walking, philosophizing and falling in love. Ten years later they meet again by happenstance. That’s the premise for Richard Linklater’s Before Sunset, a lovely tone poem that stands as a bookend to 1994’s Before Sunrise. Actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have a tremendous rapport together, and imbue their characters with just the right mix of cynicism and hurt, but also passion and longing. (And it just got better with Before Midnight)  

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

eternal_sunshine.jpg
“Come back and make up a goodbye at least. Let’s pretend we had one.”
 

Leave it to Charlie Kaufman to redefine the romantic comedy. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet play a couple who, after a violent, destructive end to their relationship, decide to erase each other from their memory. Problem is, once Carrey begins to relive those memories, he realizes their love transcends all the jealousy, bickering and insecurity. Endlessly inventive and achingly real, Eternal Sunshine;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; depicts love at its most beautiful and brittle, delivering laughs and heartache along the way.

17個最浪漫的喜劇這十年
由傑里米·梅迪納

分享 推文 分享
紐約時報影評人AO斯科特說得好:“這可能是凱特·哈德森,或者曼迪·摩爾,或者可能蕾切爾·薇茲,林賽·羅韓或珍妮弗(洛佩茲安妮斯頓加納??),但如果是二月份,你可以相當肯定一些漂亮的,勇敢的女主角將圍繞一些冷艷上鏡的美國城市閒逛(或其加拿大雙)在搜索酒窩chinned傢伙誰體現了她的真愛的“果然,他是對的:哈德森目前可以在看到新娘大戰,和安妮斯頓在他其實沒那麼喜歡你。這還沒有提蕾妮·齊薇格在新的城市,或者最後機會哈維,還是一個購物狂的自白。

即使這個過剩的不那麼鼓舞人心的電影不完全,那麼,鼓舞信心的浪漫喜劇,體裁是離死不遠了。最近幾年來經常被那些彎曲和蔑視體裁或者,換句話說,那些似乎不喜歡浪漫喜劇。考慮到這一點,在過去的八年裡一直在為體裁尤其是富有成果的。以下是過去八年17很好的例子。浪漫喜劇是一種鬆散的,可鍛鑄名詞,但我定義它的方式是這樣的:這部電影一定要稍微滑稽和/或甜,而且必須在電影的核心戀人關係(或關係)。球迷的愛,其實,準備要失望了。17。女服務生(2007)

“我不希望你救我。不需要保存。“

每一點安慰的美味,糖果色的餡餅克里拉塞爾烘烤在影片中,女服務員是蜜有點喜劇應該講的人誰曾想過停留在一個情況。而且不如羅素是,這部電影的真正的明星是它的編劇/導演/聯合主演,已故阿德里安娜雪萊。謀殺前片看到了它的發布,電影代表作為一個奇妙的酸甜苦辣證明了她很大的天賦。

16,睡眠的科學(2006)

science_of_sleep.jpg
“你可以睡整個地球,仍然感到被拒絕。”

睡眠的科學是一個人誰經常歪曲現實的故事。這是有道理的,以他的唯一的事情就是他的吸引力的鄰家女孩。“因為其他的人很無聊”當她(夏洛特Gainsbourg的)問他(蓋爾·加西亞·伯納爾),為什麼他喜歡她,他回答說米歇爾·岡瑞的視覺效果豐富,實驗的故事描繪了年輕的愛到底是什麼:激烈,不成熟,令人沮喪的,是的,但也坦誠,深入和真實。

15。鬼鎮(2008年)

ghost_town.jpg
“疼的時候我笑......”

觀眾給了這個里奇格威斯車輛的冷遇去年秋天,誰又能責怪他們呢?前提似乎是沒有什麼比第六感重做作為ROM-COM。雖然這可能是真實的,鬼城的是,和這麼多。這是寂寞的靈魂掙扎連接和愛,和一個完美的展示了茶萊尼,格雷格·金尼爾和甜蜜的故事特別的了不起的熱爾韋,誰照的誰經歷了比爾·默里在男子偷天型轉變。

14。BJ單身日記(2001)

bridget_jones.jpg
“我仍然在尋找的東西......比這更不平凡。”

頑固分子可能已經開始惱火她的鑄造,但蕾妮·齊薇格是至關重要的電影的成功。她無限嫵媚的布里奇特·瓊斯,獲得20磅打英國單身誰愛上了休·格蘭特和(最終)科林·弗斯。從她的令人震驚的壞公開演講,以假唱悲傷的FM歌曲在她的睡衣,齊薇格進行了(還是纖細)肩上的影片。

13,在40歲的老處男(2005)

40_year_old_virgin.jpg
“這是真的,如果你不使用它,就會失去它?”

賈德·阿帕圖已經出現在浪漫喜劇的世界上主要的新聲音。他的第一部導演的努力,這位40歲的老處男是一個很大的,愚蠢的,滑稽的是其兩個主要線索,史蒂夫卡萊爾和凱瑟琳·基納簡單的魅力錨電影的一塌糊塗。他們不尚空談的戀情是出奇的低調和成人電影與蠻橫的前提和猥褻的笑話。萊斯利·曼恩還值得稱讚的是熱鬧的法式烤麵包的場景。

12。午夜巴塞羅那(2008)

vicky_cristina.jpg
“只有未了的愛情可以浪漫。”

伍迪艾倫的午夜巴塞羅那的哈維爾·巴登的三個完全不同的女性關係中心:冒險,但優柔寡斷的克里斯蒂娜(斯嘉麗約翰松),實際卻不安全玉萍(麗貝卡·霍爾)和他的火熱想成為少奶奶瑪麗亞·埃萊娜(佩內洛普·克魯茲)。西班牙醉人的語言環境hightlight這個令人高興的俏皮嬉戲,那模糊的愛情和慾望之間的界限挑釁電影。

11。拉爾斯和真實女孩 (2007)

lars_and_the_real_girl.jpg
“有時我如此寂寞我忘了今天是什麼日子......”

拉爾斯和真實女孩的前提應該是畏縮,值得:瑞恩·高斯林約會一個真人大小的充氣娃娃,和整個鎮竭盡全力保護童話。但南希奧利弗的奧斯卡獎提名的劇本是那麼的溫柔,所以憂鬱的,它變成一個矮小的男人誰最終來歲的靜靜的震撼人心的故事。猜謎滑稽,但甜蜜的脾氣,拉斯是一個小寶藏。

10。單親插班生(2002)

about_a_boy.jpg
“沒有人是一座孤島”

並不陌生的浪漫喜劇,休·格蘭特也許宣讀最佳的性能不斷在大約一個男孩,一種別樣的ROM-COM的。通過他與年輕小將的關係,格蘭特微妙轉變,從臭名昭著的好色之徒成,好了,能夠熱愛美麗的蕾切爾·薇茲的人。格蘭特與孩子的關係是溫柔體貼,就像電影本身。

9。朱諾(2007)

juno.jpg
“我真的不知道我是什麼樣的女孩。”

已經取得了很多關於暗黑科迪-主義的滲透劇本,但對心臟朱諾是艾倫頁,她來到了她的感情邁克爾劍橋能源研究協會條款。當然,這需要懷孕的她實現她的夢想的人是在黃色短褲的窩囊廢,但隨後,在人物朱諾不像正常的人呢。Page的重型起重當之無愧奧斯卡提名的每一位。

8。一夜大肚(2007)

knocked_up.jpg
“你漂亮比我。”

當然,有一個圖形場景涉及到未來的寶寶出了子宮。是的,有裸露鏡頭和大量咒罵的。和OK,這是有點怪像塞斯羅根àschlub怎樣才能像凱瑟琳·海格爾一個女孩。即便如此,有一個內在的甜頭一夜大肚使得它如此讓人賞心悅目。賈德·阿帕圖的處理的配角,像保羅陸克文和萊斯利·曼恩的,也有利於彈射成片的風格的最好的之一。

7。杯酒人生(2004)

sideways.jpg
“我喜歡思考酒的一生。如何這是一個活的東西......“

橫盤整理是一個非常偉大的哥們喜劇(包括來自托馬斯·海登教會歡快無恥的表現),但它是一個更美好的浪漫喜劇。在它的心臟是邁爾斯(保羅·吉亞瑪提)和瑪雅(維吉尼亞·馬德森),兩個傷痕累累的離婚者之間的親切的關係誰偽造給對方脆弱的連接。從他們的美麗發言表達黑比諾葡萄酒的熱愛的奇妙淒美的開放式敲門聲,他們的浪漫音符完美。

6,穿醉愛(2002)

punch_drunk_love.jpg
“我在看你的臉,我只是想打破它......你這麼漂亮。”

毫無疑問的:模糊不清的愛是一種奇怪的小電影。導演保羅·托馬斯·安德森招募所有的人亞當·桑德勒,在他的另類愛情喜劇明星大約在感情上不成熟的商人容易憤怒的爆炸性適合。他滿足了艾米麗·沃森一種親屬的精神,導致兩人宣布戀愛一樣,而好奇的聲明。的力量模糊不清之處在於,年齡的孤獨之後,有人可以一起去,了解你只需看一眼的快感。

5,高保真(2000)

high_fidelity.jpg
“難道我聽流行音樂,因為我是可憐嗎?
還是我痛苦,因為我聽流行音樂嗎?“

這並非巧合尼克·霍恩比寫了兩個單親插班生和高保真,無一不電影改編出現在此列表中(讓我們忽略極度狂熱暫時)。霍恩比真正的挖掘到了20世紀男性的心理。約翰·庫薩克扮演誰回顧他過去的女朋友的歷史才發現,他讓完美的女人從他的指間溜走了每個人的類型。好笑的是,有見地和瘋狂的新書,高保真扮演像一個超時尚伍迪艾倫的電影,這是一個非常好的事情。

4,瓦力(2008)

wall_e.jpg
“計算機:定義跳舞。”

在你喊冤,讓我們想想的情節瓦力的第二個:孤獨的男孩遇見女孩,墜入愛河,並追的女孩在地上,或者,在這種情況下,宇宙的末端。這是怎麼回事不是一個浪漫的喜劇?請不要介意他們的機器人。沒關係缺乏對話。請不要介意它的動畫。當瓦力和夏娃一起跳舞在天空之中的星星,我們還不如看弗雷德·阿斯泰爾和羅傑斯的第二次降臨。

3。上午北京時間謊言(2001)

amelie.jpg
“愛的激增,急於幫助人類克服了她。”

一個微妙的,美味的法國小小事,上午北京時間謊言很容易這份榜單上最浪漫的電影。可愛的奧黛麗·塔圖推出自己變成了美國意識為古怪的DO-好人女服務員誰送她暗戀的照片和謎語掩蓋她的身份,以使他們的第一次相遇,以及第一次接吻,最浪漫的她生活的時刻。無盡想像力和精美的照片,上午é 謊言是一部十分寶貴的。

2,在日落之前 (2004年)

before_sunset.jpg
“你,對我來說,那一夜/一切我總是在生活中夢寐以求的。”

兩個人在火車上見面,度過一個浪漫的夜晚一起在維也納,說話,走路,哲思,並墜入愛河。十年後,他們再次相遇了偶然。這就是前提理查德·林克萊特的日落前,一個可愛的音詩的代表作為穿插到1994年的日出前。演員伊桑·霍克和朱莉失意產生巨大的融洽在一起,並灌輸他們的性格,玩世不恭,傷害,還會熱情和嚮往的最佳組合。(它剛剛得到更好的午夜之前) 1。美麗心靈的永恆陽光(2004)

 

eternal_sunshine.jpg
“回來,並構成了一個告別最少。讓我們假設我們有一個。“

留給查理·考夫曼重新定義的浪漫喜劇。金·凱瑞和凱特·溫斯萊特扮演一對夫婦誰,暴力,破壞性結束他們的關係後,決定刪除對方從他們的記憶。問題是,一旦凱瑞開始重溫那些記憶,他意識到自己的愛超越一切的嫉妒,爭吵和不安全感。無休止地發明和心痛真實的,永恆陽光 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;描繪愛情在它最美麗而脆,提供笑和心痛沿途。
