What has become of the popular genre "Romantic Comedy?" When two individuals used to run into eachother and have chemistry, sexual tension was evident, even suggested with puns intended. However, nowadays, romantic comedies enlist sexual tendencies in every situation where boy meets girl. Mc Donald says, "Rapturous sex is thus portrayed as something immature, something not a lot like love, whichfilm implies is based more on shared conersation, disappointments and compromises than heady physical pleasure" (98).

Why have fun, innocent movies with happily ever afters turned into raunchy, one night stands that turn into a love interest. This genre has a negatively unrealistic outcome in which viewers then believe their next love interest and future husband or wife will be a random hook up. Is this new version or "neo-traditional romantic comedy" the newest version of brainwashing? Individuals will now be inspired to make themselves "available" to anyone, because who knows if the next fling they wake up to will be their one and only....
