Are Romantic Comedies not as good as they used to be?

I am concerned!  I love love love Romantic Comedies.  And for those of you who know me well you know this about me.  But, it seems that the movies that are coming out are not as good as they once were.  Maybe I am biased, maybe I am getting old and don't get it, or maybe some of the greatest ones have already come out and my standards are just too high!  I am a fan of the "classics":  Bridget Jone's Diary, Everafter, Pride and Prejudice (new one not old one), Mona Lisa Smile, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Count of Monticristo, Love Actually...  But the newer movies aren't the same. Yes, Confessions of a Shopaholic was funny, Twilight was good for a teenage series, Bridewars was entertaining, but not the same as Sweet Home Alabama. 

What happened to the love story, the tragedy, and that part of yourself that you can see in each leading lady?  Where are the hopelessly romantic/stubborn leading men?  The best friend that supports you through anything and all of us are longing for a friend exactly like that in our lives.  

Ahhh, I digress.  I miss a good old Romantic Comedy.  Maybe my problem is all of the actors and actress' that I loved have moved on to bigger and greater things while I am stuck in the past.  I guess one really can't build there entire career on Romantic Comedies.  You can't re-do a great thing.  Look at Valentines Day!  They tried, but you will never be able to do Love Actually twice!

So, as summer movie season is upon us I am hoping that the first two Romantic Comedies emerging in May (Something Borrowed and Bridesmaids) are as good as the books, otherwise, I am going to have to buy new DVDs for the movies that I already own as mine are going to wear out soon.  

And just in case you were wondering.  I am one of those people who watches a movie over and over again.  I honestly can't tell you how many times I have watched Everafter, but I have been watching it since the year 2000.
