Because I watched this for the second time ever last night. The 2002 comedy “The Sweetest Thing” with Cameron Diaz was made for $43 million. That money in 2002 had a higher budget than the first two John Wick movies. All of this means relatively nothing other than the death of the Rom-Com and making an interesting story with smaller budget and production.

Going to the movies to see romcoms is not a thing anymore.

Exactly, and not on that high of a budget.

They’re mostly terrible movies with basically the same plot. They just rotate through actors that are popular at the moment. All the romcoms are getting made for streaming or direct to tv now aren’t they?
