When I started typing my post, I thought about a discussion over at RTB (yours, maybe, or perhaps just one in which you commented?) about the draw in romance -- hero vs. heroine. My original plan was to talk about that and how it seems to be a little reversed in the cinema lately. Especially after I looked at the DVD's on my shelf. The Wedding Date? All about Debra Messing; Dermot Mulroney is a catalyst but not the draw. 13 Going on 30? All about Jennifer Garner. While You Were Sleeping? Sandra Bullock. And just about every Kate Hudson, Drew Barrymore, etc. movie I can think of is the same. There are exceptions (Notting Hill, French Kiss, About A Boy), but I think being heroine-centric is more the rule for romantic comedies. But I couldn't figure out the point of my post, so I just chopped it off.
