Can You Guess The Romantic Comedy From This Terrible Description We Just Made Up?

Aliee Chan

Romantic comedies! What’s not to love? Um, similar plot lines throughout the genre? Unrealistic expectations about long-term relationships because they’re all condensed into two hours or less and you only see the highlights reel? That they don’t make ’em like they used to? Well, all of those things,Show More

We want to know if you’d be able to decipher which romantic comedy is which if we butchered the description a bit. Just a tad. See, we took the synopsis and either described it omitting key details, described it like we were disinterested, or described it like your significant other would if they were forced to watch this movie against their will. Our point is, all these descriptions are kind of bad – and yet! – each new summary only fits the bill for one of the movies listed.

Can you guess correctly? Put your Netflix where your noggin is and find out!

Can You Guess The Romantic Comedy From This Terrible Description We Just Made Up?

Which one of these movies matches the description: "Two exes run into each other while the American one is in Europe for a book tour. There's unresolved tension, obviously."

"It turns out men and women can be friends - then sometimes they turn into more than friends - but that doesn't mean they can't still be just friends, right?" Yes, that's the plot of this romantic comedy.

"A woman and an old man switch bodies and it makes the woman's husband have a few feelings." Pick the movie!

Which movie is - at worst - described as "A woman moves to a new city with her boyfriend/bandmate - they break up - and she has to put out a record with some other guy."

Jane Austen's work has inspired a lot of romantic comedies (because she maaaaybe invented the genre), but which of these movies can be described as "pretty much Pride and Prejudice, but... not."

"The guy sucks, and also there's pie." What movie are we talking about?

"Someone goes back to their hometown and falls for a compulsive liar, but it's fine because they're cute." Where's that hometown? What movie is this?

Actual plot of a romantic comedy: "Turns out amnesia is the perfect opportunity to turn this relative stranger into your perfect partner." What movie is it?

Another questionable plot line: "It's a rom-com about hooking up with your best friend's significant other, but it's cute." Pick the movie.

Which movie is: "Trying to get back with your prom date is weird when you're an adult, and especially when you're still hung up on the same person you were at 17."

This one's a toughie: "This whole movie is more or less all about significant events on July 15th."

What movie actually carries through with the premise "What if one thing could change everything?"
