The art of making a great romantic comedy is something to be respected and ired. This formulaic film style has been around since the beginning of movies being made. The classic story, boy meets girl, something funny or odd or quirky gets in their way, they fight it and end up together, is a story everyone recognizes but still loves to hear over and over again with new characters and even funnier plot points.
Of course, no romantic comedy would be complete without the perfect female lead to fall in love with. There have been some incredible women in these fun roles. Which one are you based on your zodiac sign?
Aquarius: Julianne, My Best Friend's Wedding
Julianne is a career-driven, independent woman with everything going for her until her best friend calls with the startling news that he's getting married in just a few days.
Julianne still harboring feelings for her bestie, makes it her mission to break up the wedding. Her progressive and original plotting mixed with uncompromising, sometimes temperamental execution makes her a definite Aquarian.
Pisces: Andie, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days
Andie Anderson, the "how-to" girl at Composure magazine is fun and flirty and always up for a challenge, clear characteristics of the Pisces sign.
When Andie meets Ben and sets out on her mission to drive him away, she starts to exhibit the less appealing qualities of a Pisces with her mood swings and inability to trust her new relationship.
Aries: Stella, How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Aries women are fiery, strong, and not the type of woman anyone wants to upset. They're also courageous and determined, much like Stella in How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
Sure, Aries can be a little short-tempered and impulsive enough to set a car on fire, but they are also honest and ionate. Like Stella, Aries women are magnetic and confident and completely charming.
Taurus: Jenna, 13 Going on 30
When audiences first meet Jenna, she is a reliable and patient teenager with her entire life ahead of her. That all changes when Jenna wakes up in the future as a thirty-year-old woman.
After the initial panic wears off, Jenna tries to embrace her new life. Naturally, this comes with its challenges, especially when one adds in some of the Taurus sign's classic characteristics, like their stubbornness and difficulty with compromising.
Gemini: Kathleen, You've Got Mail
Kathleen is a beautiful, charming, charismatic single woman living in New York who meets a book mogul named Joe and does the exact opposite of falling for him, or so she thinks. Like a true Gemini, there are two sides to Kathleen's story.
She initially hates Joe, but at the same time, is unknowingly engaged in a romantic email exchange with her new enemy. Kathleen's gentle affection in her emails mixed with her nervous nature in person make her a Gemini through and through.
Cancer: Kat, 10 Things I Hate About You
The Kat viewers first meet at the beginning of 10 Things I Hate About You is incredibly moody and pessimistic. She's a rebel without a cause until she falls for Patrick, the new kid at school who compliments Kat's angst well.
In love, Kat is loyal and not afraid to express her emotions, which also happen to be clear traits of the Cancer sign.
Leo: Melanie, Sweet Home Alabama
At first glance, Melanie appears to be a classy city woman living in New York and about to marry her very well-off boyfriend, Andrew. Of course, nothing goes according to plan and Melanie finds herself back home in her Alabama roots falling for her high school sweetheart all over again.
Melanie can be stubborn and a little self-centered, like many Leos, so her journey to love isn't easy, but she gets there eventually when she starts leading with her warm heart, another trait of the Leo sign.
Virgo: Sasha, Always Be My Maybe
Sasha is one of the hardest working women anyone will ever meet. She is focused, driven, and won't let anything get in her way, especially love. Virgos are known for their "all work, no play" mentality, but they are also known to be loyal and kind, making them easy to fall in love with.
Once Sasha realizes her childhood best friend, Marcus, is the one for her, there's no stopping her from getting the guy that she wants.
Libra: Sabrina Fairchild, Sabrina
Sabrina is the ultimate leading lady. She is poised and articulate, but also a little shy. She was raised around wealth, but her family was never wealthy. She harbors a secret crush on one of the sons in the family her father works for but ends up surprising herself when she falls for the other son instead.
Sabrina's indecisiveness makes her a Libra, as does her graciousness and her desire to be more social.
Scorpio: Summer, 500 Days Of Summer
One of the biggest and best qualities of a Scorpio sign is their loyalty. Scorpios are known to be true friends to their inner circles and are a great system for the people they know and love.
Summer in 500 Days of Summer is definitely a great friend to Tom, maybe too good of a friend, which is made evident once she calls things off and asks Tom if they can still be friends.
