Just read an interesting article on RopeofSilicon.com which picks up and takes off on E’s Sundance vidinterview with Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (stars of 500 Days of Summer), asking the question, Why Do So Many Romantic Comedies Suck?  The video is worth a look:  JGL is quite articulate, ZD sadly not so much, LOL.  The article really further defines the question rather than answering it, although the author does seem to feel that “star power,” or the lack of same in many of today’s films, plays a large role in the success or failure of a romcom.

There’s a lot of good stuff in the comments too.
