Why People Love Romantic Comedy Movies – WriteMovies Romance and Comedy Award 2024
There’s a reason why people love romantic comedy movies. Just this year we’ve seen the romantic drama It Ends With Us become a commercial success at the box office whilst at home Netflix’s Hit Man released to crucial acclaim.
The WriteMovies Romance and Comedy Award 2024 is your chance to capture that same magic, whether you have a heartwarming love story or a laugh-out-loud comedy, audiences crave these genres. But why do people love them so much?
Our modern world can be stressful, chaotic and filled with certainty, especially in recent times. Romance and comedy films are beloved because they provide much-needed escapism and a sense of comfort, allowing people to retreat into a world where love prevails and laughter brightens their day.
Romance brings hope. We have a universal desire for connection. From following a character’s journey of vulnerability and self-discovery or indulging in the fantasy of happy endings, audiences are drawn to stories that mirror their own experiences or aspirations.
On the other hand, comedy brings joy. Laughing at the little things in life, or the absurdity of some situations reminds us to not take things too seriously in life. By blending these elements, romantic comedies make us laugh and cry, often within the same scene!
These genres never go out of style and resonate across cultures and generations. Films like Crazy Rich Asians and Love Actually have achieved global success because of their universal themes of love, friendship and laughter. For screenwriters, this means your romance and comedy scripts have the potential to reach a broad and diverse audience.
The WriteMovies Romance and Comedy Award 2024 is your opportunity to reach that audience. The winning script is guaranteed to be pitched to the international entertainment industry, opening the door for it to be sold or produced. Not just that, the winner will also receive a year of script mentoring worth $3200, ensuring it’s the best it can possibly be!
