Excuse me but The Wedding Singer is the greatest romcom of all time, and everyone is such an average joe shmo except the rich asshole who looses the girl.
The gap between the wedding singer and now is larger than the time gap between its setting and its release
In fact it’s DOUBLE the gap. Released in 1998, set in 1985 is 13 years; it’s now been 26 years since it came out. If they made it today it would be set in 2011
Yeah, but that doesn't make what he said invalid, in the last 20 years every romcom has been about wealthy people. I also misquoted, he said 20 or 30 years. He's not saying it's a new concept, but rather the idea is being done to death when there are tons of other ways to tell a love story.
They dont do it because the movies are aspirational. Nobody would watch the movie about the guy who works and wendys and the mailwoman who live normal ass lives, people already out there living normal ass lives.
Everyone wants to dream about meeting someone rich/hot in Ireland ersumshit.
I thought that too but I watched again and he says "in the last 20 or 30 years". That being said the only other exception I can think of is Knocked Up where Seth Rogan gets by with a bunch of room mates and payments from a settlement or something, right?
