Requests:  0 Summary:  Funny, charming, and reliably crowd-pleasing, rom-coms were the essential backbone of the Hollywood landscape, launching the careers of many of Hollywood's most talented actors and filmmakers, providing many of the yet limited creative opportunities women had in Hollywood. Yet rom-coms have routinely been overlooked by the Academy Awards, and dismissed by critics. Meslow tracks the genre from its heyday in the '80s and the '90s, its decline in the 2000s, and its explosive reemergence in the age of streaming. He examines the evolution of the genre from its establishment of new tropes, the Austen and Shakespeare rewrites, the many love triangles, and even the occasional brave decision to do away with the happily ever after. - adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43654 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.43654 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43654 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 791.43654 Me Checked out 05/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.43654 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
