The world needs romcoms more than ever

And you only need to turn on your phone to see why

There’s a reason Cameron Diaz is coming out of retirement to star in a Netflix action romcom, Sandra Bullock is currently in cinemas (in a dodgy mash-up of the 80s box office staples Romancing The Stone and Raiders of The Lost Ark) and Julia Roberts has just signed up to star opposite George Clooney as warring exes in Ticket to Paradise. (Any resemblance to another 80s movie, War Of The Roses is, I'm sure, purely coincidental...) And, yes, I’m sure money has something to do with it. But it’s not just that. The truth is, we have never needed to lose ourselves in a good romcom more than we do right now. If anyone's got a Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks vehicle in their back pocket, I am fully here for it.

I mean, who wants to spend any time in the real world when it’s careering towards hell in a handcart?
