Audiences who love Hollywood romantic comedies have been in an abusive relationship for a decade.
For a long while, it was magical. Katherine Hepburn tackled Cary Grant (like, actually tackled him) and tamed a cantankerous Spencer Tracy. Doris Day dazzled Rock Hudson. Fonda had her Redford, Streisand had her Ryan O’Neal. The 1990s and early 2000s let us swoon over women Julia, Meg, Reese, Sandra, Meg – each actress anchoring a $100 million hit. But around the 80th year of bliss – the oak anniversary, if you were wondering – the studios gave the genre a coffin.
