Our hit parade of the 2004 American film “50 First Kisses” opens. It would seem that what else is needed for complete happiness when you have already met the girl of your dreams? It is with this thought that Henry ends the day that introduced him to Lucy. Only in the morning the girl does not remember anything from what happened. And the point here is not at all the amount of alcohol drunk, it just has a partial memory loss. To stay with her until the end of his life, Henry enjoys every day, which gives a new love ... And although Julia Roberts claimed the role of Lucy, the duet of the main characters performed by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore turned out to be beautiful.
Ugly people do not exist

The best romantic youth comedies could not have done without this film. “This is all she” has become a classic teen movie of the last years of the last century.
In school years, Chris was remembered by classmates as the fattest and, accordingly, insecure student. After ten years, he becomes a successful producer, discovering new musical talents. Having dropped in for a few days in his native town, he meets ex-girlfriend Jamie, whom he dreamed of then. Time shows that feelings have not gone away, but it is difficult to admit them even now ... The wonderful and no less ridiculous transformation of Ryan Reynolds into a well-fed teenager made it possible to include the film “Just Friends” in the best youth romantic comedies.
Volume doesn't matter
Another funny reincarnation awaits this time Gwyneth Paltrow. The dramatic Hollywood actress of the first magnitude was not afraid to appear in the image of a “large-scale elephant”, under which the chairs break. However, true love is blind when you see first of all the inner beauty of a person. The protagonist Hal is very picky about the opposite sex.

For him, she is the ideal of a girl, and for everyone else, she is a fat girl of incredible size ... One of the best stories of 2001, entitled “Love of Evil”, won recognition from viewers around the world, deservedly assigned to the category of “romantic youth comedies”.
