My favourite underrated romantic comedies of all time
So as Valentines Day is just a month away today(14th February) I decided to do my list of favourite underrated romantic films of all time. I am talking about the ones that no one ever mentions or actually haven't seen as they didn't do that great at the Box Office. So without further ado lets dive in and I will explain why I love these rom coms.

- DirectorJon TurteltaubStarsSandra BullockBill PullmanPeter GallagherA hopelessly romantic Chicago Transit Authority ticket booth operator is mistaken for the fiancée of a comatose patient.This one happens to be my favourite romantic comedy of all time. It was funny,sweet,romantic and overall a feel good movie. I was always a fan of Sandra Bullock since I was a kid and this was just the start of her career.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsMeg RyanHugh JackmanLiev SchreiberAn English Duke from 1876 is inadvertently dragged to modern day New York where he falls for a plucky advertising executive.People say that Enchanted was the one that introduced fish out of water charcther entering our world but in actual fact Enchanted took elements out of this film Kate & Leopold. Now this film is really really odd in a way as the directors cut of this film reveals that Kate McKay(Ryan)'s ex boyfriend Stuart Bessar is actually Leopold's great great grandson,resulting in Leopold being Stuart's great great grandfather. But if you watch the theatrical version of this its actually a very funny yet charming film with a twist involved. Hugh Jackman literally stoled this film as the perfect prince charming to Meg Ryan's cynical bussinesswoman who has no time for romance ...till now. Just watch it I loved it and give it a chance.
Now if only Jackman starred in more romance films. Cause he has the charms so he might as well use them for some advantage. - DirectorGary WinickStarsJennifer GarnerMark RuffaloJudy GreerUnpopular schoolgirl Jenna Rink makes an unusual wish on her birthday. Miraculously, her wish comes true and the 13-year-old Jenna wakes up the next day as a 30-year-old woman.A really feel good film about a girl who is dying to grow up fast. Jennifer Garner stoled the film as adult Jenna Rink. Give it a chance cause I did and I love this film.
- DirectorWayne WangStarsJennifer LopezRalph FiennesNatasha RichardsonA Senatorial candidate falls for a hotel maid, thinking she is a socialite, when he sees her trying on a wealthy woman's dress.Silly yes but its still a very nice romantic Cinderella like movie. This happens to be my mom and gran's favourite romance film so yeah its nice and I liked the story and I was a fan of Jennifer Lopez since god knows when.
- DirectorAnne FletcherStarsKatherine HeiglJames MarsdenMalin AkermanAfter serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, a young woman wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister's side as her sibling marries the man she's secretly in love with.Again too underrated this was funny and smart. Katherine Heigl was great,and James Marsden is just so adorable.
- DirectorAnne FletcherStarsSandra BullockRyan ReynoldsMary SteenburgenWhen New York editor Margaret faces deportation, she convinces her assistant Andrew to marry her in return for a promotion. However, when she visits his hometown, it changes her in many ways.Saw this on TV last night having owned it on DVD and it was a very nice film. Again I love Sandra Bullock and it was a feel good film. Ryan Reynolds was great in this too. Similar to that 1995 flick she was in While You Were Sleeping.
- DirectorMark RosmanStarsHilary DuffChad Michael MurrayJennifer CoolidgeRoutinely exploited by her wicked stepmother, the downtrodden Samantha Montgomery is excited about the prospect of meeting her Internet beau at the school's Halloween dance.Again I loved this film it was funny and sweet. I remember I was so obsessed with this movie in 2004 I ended up scratching my DVD of it.Maybe it was because I was hooked on Hilary Duff when I was a teenager as I liked her since I was a teen.
- DirectorKevin LimaStarsAmy AdamsSusan SarandonJames MarsdenA young maiden in a land called Andalasia, who is prepared to be wed, is sent away to New York City by an evil Queen, where she falls in love with a lawyer.Like No 2 on my list except this time its half animated and half live action and of course both this and Kate & Leopold are set in New York City. Its funny,entertaining and an overall feel good film. And sometimes we need that in our lives.
- DirectorAdam ShankmanStarsJennifer LopezMatthew McConaugheyBridgette Wilson-SamprasMary Fiore is San Francisco's most successful supplier of romance and glamor. She knows all the tricks. She knows all the rules. But then she breaks the most important rule of all: she falls in love with the groom.Sweet and nice.
- DirectorGreg BerlantiStarsKatherine HeiglJosh DuhamelJosh LucasTwo single adults become caregivers to an orphaned girl when their mutual best friends die in an accident.I really enjoyed this film its one of my favourites. Funny and entertaining with a nice heartwarming ending to it.
- DirectorNora EphronStarsTom HanksMeg RyanRoss MalingerA recently widowed man's son calls a radio talk-show in an attempt to find his father a partner.Come on all of Meg Ryan's films are so underrated. As Ryan herself is too underrated. Wish she would make a comeback already.That's all i want.
- DirectorNora EphronStarsTom HanksMeg RyanGreg KinnearBook superstore magnate Joe Fox and independent book shop owner Kathleen Kelly fall in love in the anonymity of the Internet, both blissfully unaware that he's trying to put her out of business.I liked this film too.
