Sub-Genre Synopsis

Guy Com 
A guy com is a chick flick created to appeal to a male audience as well as female. Like any other chick flick, guy coms include people dealing with their feelings, their future and relationships, however the films tend to focus around what males enjoy, like sport and strong language. Some examples of guy coms would be '17 Again',  'The Hangover' and 'American Pie'. 

Rom-Com 
Rom-coms are films that are centred around romantic ideas such as true love. However, these ideas are accompanied by light-hearted, humorous plot lines which make the films more of an easy watch. Some examples of rom-coms are 'What Happens In Vegas' and 'Love Actually'. 

Tearjerkers 
These films are the perfect watch if you fancy a good cry. Films like 'The Notebook' are a great example of tearjerkers. They are films based around family and being in the midst of an emotional crisis.
