In film, this nostalgia is driving the resurgence of a genre that defined both the 90s and the noughties: the romantic comedy. On 15 January, Rom Com Archive, a Twitter account that is dedicated to iconic scenes from romantic comedies, posted a viral thread about 23 of the romantic comedies slated for release in 2023. From Shotgun Wedding (Jennifer Lopez, Josh Duhamel) to Maybe I Do (Emma Roberts, Richard Gere, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon) and Anne Hathaway's long-awaited return to the genre in the adaptation The Idea of You, romantic comedies are enjoying a mainstream renaissance.
