The Best Romantic Comedies from the Early 2000s
The ’90s were a simpler time for romantic comedies. Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, and Sandra Bullock ruled the box office with movies that had them falling for men who were dabbling in a bit of harmless catfishing (1998’s You’ve Got Mail), hiring them as an escort (1990’s Pretty Woman), or were stuck in a coma (1995’s While You Were Sleeping).
