Obviously he’s never seen “The Philadelphia Story,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “My Man Godfrey,” “Holiday,” “Annie Hall,” “Love Actually,” or one of the very many smart rom coms out there.
A rom-com is just a longer s(h)it-com. Attraction by one or both partners, inexplicable events drive them apart, problem resolved, confusion removed, happily ever after. Shakespeare’s comedies all worked the same. The tragedies did as well, except at the end the confusion remained and people died.
Jean Arthur in various rom-coms such as “The More the Merrier” with Joel McCrea, “A Foreign Affair” competing for the affections of John Lund with Marlene Dietrich, “The Talk of the Town” with Cary Grant and Ronald Coleman, “You Can’t Take it With You” with James Stewart and “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town” with Gary Cooper.Ms. Arthur, my favorite actress of all time, has 95 credits as an actress starting in the early 1920s to the mid-1960s, including the best western ever, “Shane” (1953) with Alan Ladd.

Santa might just be in the dumps because of all the soppy, made in a weekend, holiday schmaltz running across the tv guide. Gets worse every year.
and how about Pocket Full of Miracles, Miracle on 34th St (the original), and My Man Godfrey (non-colorized)?
