This chapter explores the communal joy women experience when attending films, focusing on romantic comedies and cultural phenomena like Taylor Swift. It contrasts these gatherings with male-centric activities such as sports, while also addressing the representation of female narratives in cinema. The discussion highlights the dynamics of attraction, sexuality, and power within romantic films, advocating for more diverse and female-driven storytelling.
A true champion of the sweaty yet charming premise, How To Lose A Guy takes all the mid-noughties rom-com tropes and rolls them into one. A woman's magazine! An advertising campaign! A bet! An article! Friends! We discuss Kate Hudson's comedic gifts, the death of the bubblegum romcom and whether women's magazines even deserve a place in the culture. Check out Elizabeth Sankey's documentary Romantic Comedy for more, or her music at Summer Camp
