Top 5 Romantic Comedies for Modern Males

It's okay to love chick-flicks. We're here to give you our picks for, what we consider, the best ones around for guys (in touch with their sensitive side). Whether you're searching for a great date accompaniment or you prefer hiding this secret interest. Well then! Grab some tissues, pour some wine, and crack open the SunChips!:

#1 - 500 Days of Summer
A (not so) love story of a wise, emotional idealist male who falls for a confused, self-righteous female. It's a sincere roller coaster of heartache, from a true modern-male's view. It goes against everything Beyonce depicts men as, and shows women in a realistic light. Its sad and inspiring at the same time.

#2 - Going The Distance
Two lovers. trying to keep their relationship alive with 3,000 miles of distance in between. Its hysterical and tear-jerking. Believe it or not, I watched this film with 3 of my guy friends and we all shed tears at certain pivotal scenes. The chemistry between Justin Long and Drew Barrymore feels so real ....maybe because they dated in real life. It shows.

#3 - Definitely, Maybe

Quit hating on Ryan Reynolds. In this flick, he actually makes you feel bad for him. Telling his daughter the timeline of his love life, with lots of excitement and heartache in between. Plus, it doesn't hurt that all 3 main actresses, that are all objects of Reynolds' affection at some point, are all beautiful!

#4 - Vicky Cristina Barcelona
This may be the sexiest/wittiest movie ever made. 2 American women spend a summer in Spain. One is lost and promiscuous, 1 is uptight and engaged. Both fall romantically for a man I can only hope I emulate someday. Except Maria Lena makes the situation pretty crazy, which is also a great case study for mental illness. Weird ....but sexy.

#5  - You've Got Mail
Maybe its the chemistry. Maybe its the story. Maybe its the days of America Online. Whatever it is that makes this film so enjoyable, it succeeds, even after all these years. Quite possibly the most underrated romantic comedy out there. It also makes Manhattan look beautiful .....and ironically, makes me want to visit Barns & Noble right now!


Happy watching, laughing, crying, and spanking! :)

(Make-Out) Song Of The Week: "The Christmas Waltz" by She & Him

When you think of Christmas music, I'm sure you don't to yourself; "Boy, I can sure go some sweet, sweet sexin'". And as we all the know, the holidays can tend to bring about serious loneliness if you're not dating anyone. But for argument sake (and my chipper holiday spirit), let's say you're at a Christmas party and you happen to be sipping on that "adult eggnog" a little too much. You strike up a conversation with a female, you sneak a little peck under the mistletoe (yeah, I'm full of corniness), and you take her back to your place to show off how big your tree is (holy crap). You can't put on naughty music because you don't want to be a Christmas Creep (I like that one) but you want something sensual with a hint of romance. I recommend "The Christmas Waltz" by She & Him (aka M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel). It has a vintage, pine-fresh, cozy feel.


Play this song and enjoy soft, sugarplum kisses. Make sure to say her lips taste like candy canes! (no, don't say that). But do have a Merry Christmas! And always stuff that stocking....whatever that means.
