Thirty-six new romcoms are coming out this year on film and streamed TV. That’s three a month! There’s a boxing romcom, a tennis romcom, one set in Taipei, one on a Croatian island, one in Vietnam and one with a fortune teller. There’s one in the back of a Berlin cab, and a gay romcom about the son of the US president and a “British Prince Henry”.
There’s a meet-the-parents story where it turns out the sets of parents, well, knew each other already. There’s one where the wedding party is taken hostage by gunmen; one where our heroine finds herself mysteriously attracted to her first love’s new wife. An interactive one where we get to make the heroine’s romantic and ethical choices. One proffering Céline Dion’s acting debut. A Wes Anderson one, set at a space cadet convention. And one called Sitting in Bars With Cake.
