It is not easy not to get totally overpowered with the burden of sweetness and cookie-cutter cuteness associated with the Valentine's Day. This year, for many reasons I am opting for Galentine's Day instead (watch Park and Recreations for reference) and part of that day with perfect gals of mine will be spent watching some movies.
For all of you who are looking for witty, tongue-in-cheek rom-coms, that will not nauseate you with their "until death do us part" message or force you to dream about the "Mr. Perfect" every night, I have prepared a list of my 5 favorite funny romantic movies.

5 Underrated Romantic Comedies for Valentine's Day
1. Easy virtue (2008)
2. Down with love (2003)
3. Someone like you (2001)
4. Wedding date (2005)
5. Prime (2005)
|
Three of them are based in New York (Down with Love, Someone Like You and Prime). Not only they show real charm of this city but also offer some fun, very current portrayal of disappointments of modern relationship of course leading to some sort of happy endings, as otherwise they would not be suitable for the occasion.
However, the choice of the boy-friends to be is quite not desirable; from escort paid to be the date to the sister’s wedding (4), terrible Australian womanizer who only cares about sex (3), charming playboy from the 60’s with no respect for women (2), a boy toy and a son of the personal therapist (5) to forever charming British gentleman from the beginning of the twentieth century (1). Female characters played by such amazing actresses as Jessica Biel, Renne Zellweger, Ashley Judd, Debra Messing and Uma Thurman guarantee most charming execution of comedy of errors and romantic mayhem.
Enjoy this Valentine's Day weekend watching movies and staying warm as there are truly brutal winter temperatures ahead of us, New Yorkers!
