Both surprisingly enjoyable films from one of my least-favorite genres, the romantic comedy. I quite like both, but I have to hand this one to Summer.

One is about a dude that moans about having his heart broken by a girl who made it clear that she's not into relationships. The other is about a dude that wants to fuck the pornstar next door. The former is more appealing than I make it sound thanks to some good jokes, a non-cliche ending and charismatic actors. The latter falls short of its advertised appeal thanks to its flaunting of sap. Still, the winner is obvious.
