Every year we get a few romantic comedies featuring a loser a guy who meets the girl of his dreams and will do whatever it takes to win her over. This usually involves following her across country, playing a boom box outside of her home or just plain serenading her (playing guitar and singing outside her bedroom). It’s all harmless date movie fun until someone gets a restraining order.
Freaky thing, there are two stalker movies coming out with the exact same premise. One for high schoolers – I Love You, Beth Cooper. And one for grown ups – Management.
Both movies feature the hot chick, the asshole boyfriend and the lovable nerds who stalks his way into the hot chick’s heart at in the end.
I know. I’m going to make my own romantic comedy. I’ll call it Stalking On Sunshine. It will star Jack Black as himself and he’ll stalk Angelina Jolie (as herself). Brad Pitt can play the asshole boyfriend (as himself) and the hilarity can ensue when Jack follows Angelina to Africa to prove his love. I can see the trailer scene when Jack orders 10 Russian mail order brides and they all show up on Angelina’s door and he’s like “Hey, it’s kind of like adoption.”
