7. For Some, 13 Feels Like it was Just Yesterday

Of course, for my number 7 pick I've got to go with 13 Going On 30. This coming of age romance, literally, stars the talented Jennifer Garner (Jenna Rink) and Mark Ruffalo (Matt Flamhaff). For some, 13 feels like it was just yesterday. For Jenna, it was.

Jenna was a young girl about to turn 13, who was on the outside trying to get in. She was having a little birthday party and invited the cool girls from her school, "six chicks" to grow in popularity. As they got there they only wanted to Jenna to write a paper for them. So they played a little trick on her, seven-minutes-in-heaven with Mattie. she got embarrassed and made a wish to be 30. Little did she know that a little wishing dust and a whole lot of hoping, would make her wish a reality.

As Jenna awakes the next morning, she comes to realize she's in a strange new place and clearly no longer a 13 year old girl, but a 30 year old woman. She also wakes up to a man in her apartment, her boyfriend, and it really freaks he out. Luckily a blast from the past works with her and came to pick her up. Lucy, one of "six chicks" also formally known as Tom-Tom, is apparently her friend now and in high school. She definitely notices something is off with Jenna, but after awhile doesn't really give it a second thought. As Jenna arrives to work, she realizes she has her dream job at Poise Magazine. Jenna comes to the conclusion that's she's in this new life and Lucy is her best friend, so what happened to her best friend Mattie when she was 13?

Jenna had her assistant look up Matt Flamhaff and she found him. So, Jenna went to him and found out they weren't friends anymore. This really turned Jenna's world upside down. She tries to reconnect with Matt any way possible and luckily an opportunity arose for them to work together at Poise Magazine. Poise was looking for a new look for the magazine as they were losing sales to their competitor, Sparkle Magazine. Luckily, Matt is a photographer and can help Jenna's vision come to life.

As they work together, Matt and Jenna become very close again just in-time for Matt's wedding and for Lucy to sell Jenna's idea for the magazine to Sparkle. Everything starts going wrong as she's losing Mattie and Poise is going under. She visits Matt on his wedding day to try and stop him from getting married, but her attempt fails. He does give her, her dollhouse that he gave on her 13th birthday with the wishing dust. She takes it back to her parents house, which is next door, and wishes everything was back to normal and that she never made the wish to be 30. SPOILER ALERT!!! Lucky for her, it came true and she was back at her 13 year old birthday party where she told Tom-Tom off and kissed Mattie. Then, as you can imagine, in the end she married Matt and they lived happily ever after. As far as I can tell.

I absolutely adore this movie. Who doesn't think of fast-forwarding to the future or wishing they could go back. There's great romance between Matt and Jenna and absolutely love them together. Then you get great comedy with Jenna trying to figure out how to be a 30 year old with a 13 year old's brain. This is a great girl's night movie and one to watch over and over again. Have a great day and enjoy a great movie!

8. A Good Girl, A Small Favor and A Big Rumor

Easy A is my number 8 pick for best romantic comedies. Easy A's main star is Emma Stone (Olive Penderghast) and she is accompanied by other cast members such as Penn Badgley (Woodchuck Todd), Amanda Bynes (Marianne), Aly Michalka (Rhiannon), Thomas Haden Church (Mr. Griffith), Patricia Clarkson (Rosemary Penderghast), Cam Gigandet (Micah), Lisa Kudrow (Mrs. Griffith), Stanley Tucci (Dill Penderghast), and many more. The film starts off with Olive talking into a web cam explaining how it's time to tell her side of the story of how her little white lie spiraled out of control. Then we move to Olive talking to her best friend Rhiannon, this is where it all began, about going camping with Rhiannon and her family. Olive finds Rhiannon's family very odd, so she comes up with a little white lie about going out on a date with one of her older brother's friends from college. Instead of actually going out, Olive spends the weekend in her room listening to a card she got with the song Pocket Full of Sunshine in it. She returns to school on Monday with a very anxiously awaiting friend to find out how her date went. Olive comes up with a simple little story and tells her friend she probably won't see him again, and I guess she got the impression that Olive "hooked up" with this guy. As Rhiannon starts asking more intimate details the good Christian girl at the school, Marianne, overheard their conversation in the bathroom and starts spreading this bit of gossip all over the rumor mill. This rumor, like most, started spiraling out of control and word got around that Olive was the new school slut. As Olive grows into her new image, she gets detention around the same time a guy named Brandon does and they talk about how he's a closet gay and that the rumor started about her is just that, a rumor. So, Brandon comes up with a plan to help keep his straight image up and keep her slutty image up as well. They then attend a party and stage a "hook up" to keep the rumors going. Olive thought she was just helping this one friend out and it was a one time deal, but then that all changed.

Brandon then told some of his friends what Olive had done for him and they wanted the same kind of attention. Now all of them weren't gay like Brandon, but they had lady problems. The guy right after Brandon offered to pay her for her fake services and she accepts. Well then another rumored blossomed from this and everyone started to hear Olive was having sex for money, but the only selected few who actually needed her services knew the truth. As time goes by and more and more guys required Olive's services, she decided she had gotten into deep and was ready to get out. One time though a guy actually asked Olive out on a date, or at least Olive thought that's what it was, but in the end he was willing to pay her for sex. This guy thought she was actually sleeping with guys for money so he tried to make a move on her but she pushed him away and he drove off. Then Woodchuck Todd comes to her rescue and gives her a ride home. Olive has been in love with Woodchuck Todd for awhile now and as he drops her off she finds out he's had a crush on her for awhile. Hints the romance in this romantic comedy. After her talk with Todd, she realized it was time to stick up for herself and get out this mess. With the help of Todd and the school band, Olive makes a big impression and got everyone's attention to tune-in to her web cast. Then here at the end we see Olive back in her room giving the web cast and had newly shared her story. Now everyone knows the truth of what happens, and corny enough rides off into the sunset with Todd on an 80's style lawnmower like the movie Can't Buy Me Love.

I absolutely love love love this movie. Emma Stone would have to be one of my favorite actresses and she pulls this movie off without a hitch. It has great comedy with that touch of romance and it's just a feel good movie. There's great chemistry between the whole cast and it's hard to imagine others playing these parts. I highly recommend this movie and advise you to watch it over and over again. Have a great day and enjoy a great movie! Thanks I hope you all enjoyed.

9. One of Them is Lying. So is the Other

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days of course makes my list of favorite romantic comedies. This accidental love story, some might call it, stars Kate Hudson (Andie Anderson) and Mathew McConaughey (Ben Barry) as our leading man and woman. Andie Anderson is a writer for "Composure" magazine and has a "How To" article and recently made a deal with her boss that if she writes this next great article, she can start writing about whatever she wants. Andie is ready to be taken as a serious journalist. This is how we get introduced to the concept "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." Where as Ben Barry is an advertising executive, and ladies man, who wants to land this new campaign. So, he bets his boss and two other co-workers, that he can make any woman fall in love with him in 10 days. By happens chance, they both end up in the same bar that night and meet shortly after the bet had been made. It is truly amazing the things that Andie does to try and get rid of Ben, and what he does to make sure this relationship lasts. Towards the end, they both start acting like themselves instead of these fronts they put up to write an article or win a bet. When they put down those walls, they actually started falling for each other. In the end, all is unveiled at an event that Ben's boss is throwing for the new campaign; not before Andie accidentally slips that she loves Ben. So, Ben ends up winning the bet and Andie did lose the guy. But did they actually get what they wanted? I don't want to totally ruin the end in case someone hasn't seen the movie, but I'm sure everyone can guess what happens.

I love this duo and feel a real chemistry between them. Others must feel it too considering they've also been in Fool's Gold together. I love that it is an accidental romance with two people trying to avoid finding love and ending up finding it in each other. Then there's of course tons of comedy with all the things they do to each other to get their story or win a bet. It's mostly on Kate Hudson's side, as she is doing her very best to be an annoying girlfriend and trying to get rid of this guy. It also doesn't hurt that there is a very attractive leading man and a beautiful leading lady. I am constantly watching this movie and love every minute of it. Have a great day, and enjoy a great movie!

10. Maybe You've Already Met The Love of Your Life

You've Got Mail is one of my personal favorites so I thought it should be on my list even if it's not on others. This romantic comedy stars Tom Hanks (Joe Fox) and Meg Ryan (Kathleen Kelly) as our main character love interests. Meg Ryan's character (Kathleen) owns a small bookstore that was left to her after her mother past and Tom Hank's characters' (Joe) family is building one of their chains of bookstores across the street. Sworn enemies from the chance that this chain bookstore might run the little bookstore out of business, would have never guessed that they were secretly e-mailing each other. In the middle of the movie Joe Fox finds out that Kathleen Kelly is the woman that he's been e-mailing, but keeps her in the dark until he's ready to tell her how he really feels.

Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks have great chemistry and keep it interesting with their witty banter. This is a feel good movie that I could watch over and over again. If you haven't seen it yet it is a much watch. Have a great day and enjoy a great movie!
