Silvia, I agree with you. Take a look at Hollywood in the last 10 years. Romantic comedies have dried up. I looked on a Google list, and it literally peaked in 2014 and then the major studios decided to stop. I can only guess this is when the studios started launching their own streaming platforms and releasing low-to-mid budget dramas and comedies on them. Plus, no actors today in their 20s ARE doing romantic comedies. The young women today are clearly not interested in playing romantic or even attracted to men in real life and the pretty boy young men come across as effeminate.
But there is ample space in the cinema for witty, playful, adventurous and charming romantic movies for 30-60s something people. To take a bunch of actors to a Mediterranean or Caribbean country and have them get into silly scenes, mishaps, gentle flirting, playfights and dressing up for dinners and balls, sounds like the easiest thing ever. Producers need to look at Indian movies as they have never stopped showing singing, romance and dressing up in their movies.
