We don’t want to give you the impression that we hate romantic comedies. They are important to the fabric of society, you see.

The romantic comedy structure is actually one that is based off the old rules of chivalry (pay attention, we went to college for this). Chivalry, as it was defined in the middle ages, involved pining for a woman indefinitely, even if it meant that you would one day be together in heaven. If you fell in love with a princess, let’s say, and she needed to get married to a prince, that didn’t matter. You still would treat your lady like the object of your desire.

And she was allowed to treat you that way as well. Ladies were meant to send their knights on a series of quests to prove their love before the knight was even allowed to think about picking the lock on that chastity belt.

That’s why in most romantic comedies, the guy and the girl go through a series of trials to prove their love for one another (Harry and Sally have to overcome the obstacle of friendship, Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore have to overcome the Red Socks, etc.).

Romantic comedy is all about being the knight or the princess and realizing that even knights and princesses were pussies who fell for soft-hearted bullshit.

In the current day, a time when a dinner, some drinks and any kind of bed like surface are the only obstacles in between a man and a woman, we can go to romantic comedies to feel like we’re actually doing work.

Dates are our new obstacles. Careers are our new obstacles. Money and possessions are our new obstacles. Status, folks, it has killed more relationships than poorly-cleaned genitalia.

We’ll skip the lecture about how one or more parties needs to fail at an obstacle in order to be forgiven and redeemed in favor of this Rom Com preview for My Sassy Girl, which has been culled from many New York relationships we’ve watched crumble.

And it has Elisha Cuthbert in it, which makes it instantly watchable.

My Sassy Girl is based on the South Korean romantic comedy that was a huge hit overseas, enough to be compared frequently to Titanic.

It was a big-enough hit that the United States money-lovin’ producers streamlined it into an American adaptation.

The title might be crappy, but in the original Korean film, the titular girl was never given an actual name.

Question marks all over this remake, but the trailer hits every beat a romantic comedy trailer should, so on behalf of the knights of old, let’s keep an eye on this one…
