Before streaming came along, it wasn’t unheard of that a romantic comedy would make over 100 million dollars. People flocked to the films of two people, usually at odds with one another, before slowly falling in love. Recently, Anyone But You, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glenn Powell, gave hope that films like these aren’t finished. Back in the 90’s, the Queen of this genre was Meg Ryan. Ask your mom, Aunt, or Grandmother, what they think of her, and you will probably be greeted with a warm smile and some kind words. Ryan had a monopoly on being the cute girl who just can’t find love. After the decade ended, her star power faded. She tried to dip her toes in different genres, but she never saw the same success as did in those films. Now, she is back in the genre that made her a star. Not only does she headline the new film What Happens Later, but she also co-wrote the script and directed it.
