"5 For" If He’s Just Not That Into You Wasn’t Enough to Kill the Genre

Listen Later

Rom-coms, rules, and red flags. In this “5 For,” Truman and Landen pick five films that helped shape the cinematic dating game — from charming classics to early-2000s cultural crimes.

 

Highlights

  • Why When Harry Met Sally set the rom-com template for behavioral science in dating

  • Hitch vs. Justin Long: Who’s more believable as a love expert?

  • An unfiltered takedown of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

  • Sign-based storytelling from Sleepless in Seattle to He’s Just Not That Into You

  • How Love Actually made ensemble rom-coms feel magical — for better or worse
