Tearjerkers
· Tearjerkers are gal-pal films, movies about family and emotional crises. They are traditionally ‘weepies’ and fantasy-action adventures, sometimes with powerful females and bonding situations involving families and woman’s issues. An example of a tearjerker is ‘The Notebook.’
Rom-com
· Rom coms are films with light-hearted, humorous plot lines, centred on romantic ideas such as true love. Examples of a Romantic comedy are Bridget Jones’ Diary and What Happens in Vegas.
Guy com
· A guy chick flick is a movie where feelings and emotions are discussed and/or dealt with, but from the guy's point-of-view, and with minimum sap. They may contain things most guys enjoy, like sport, and strong language, but they are always about guys dealing with life, their futures, or relationships with women, family, and/or friends. Examples of guy coms are American Pie and The Hangover.
The Hangover is a perfect example of a Guy Com. It is like a chick flick, but instead of focusing on the problems and issues of girls, it focuses on men.
I do like your use of Hangover and the way you include images and examples throughout your blog. DO credit any websites you have used for your research to avoid plagiarism.
