Breakfast at Tiffanys, The Sweetest Thing, Brigit Jones, Love Actually.
Analyse in terms of the qualities, personalities, characteristics of the main female characters, the narratives they are part of (what happens to them and what are they in control of), and what you think are the main PLEASURES the texts offer to female audiences, (in relation to Radway's ideas about romance as wishing for a transformation of masculinity). Do these romcom narratives fit the Radway theory?
Then ask a group of female romcom fans to consider the pleasures they get from romcoms (in relation to the Radway theory).
