Kate Hudson is calling out recent romantic comedies.
Rom-com queen Hudson, who starred opposite Matthew McConaughey in beloved classic “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” among others, revealed her rules for a good rom-com — and dished on why studios aren’t keen on making them anymore.
“[They need] an actually good story, let’s start with that,” Hudson said during the “Hot Ones” YouTube show. “I think sometimes people think rom-coms are all about the ‘meet cute.’ A great rom-com is about meeting love, discovering love, falling in love, love falling apart, and then how you come back together. That’s a very traditional rom-com structure.”
She continued, “The ones that we love are with two movie stars in a love story. They’re shiny and they’re bright and it’s like wish fulfillment. It’s supposed to make you feel fuzzy, and then they stay with you forever.
