romantic comedies usually aren’t created
to win Academy Awards
but with lines like these we wonder how
they ever got made in the first place I
might kiss you
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
corniest rom-com lines what do you want
to be married to me for anyhow
so I can kiss you an example for this
list we are looking at those movie lines
that come across as incredibly desperate
or just plain cheesy do not try these at
home kids if a kid wants to be together
then then why do we need tonight huh
number 10 talk to me hope floats oops
he’s headed this way Harry Connick jr.
may be dreaming but with lines like this
it might be better if he stayed silent
bother me while trying to rekindle
things with his old flame who by the way
has just been dumped by her husband on
national television Connick lays it on
thick I want to dance with
this luck hand
excuse us we’re okay with the first part
of this line after all
comparing dancing to a conversation
isn’t the worst metaphor we’ve heard
that’s just a conversation between two
people he had to take it a step further
however by saying talk to me if we were
Sandra Bullock we may have considered
becoming a mute upon hearing that
dreadful line
number nine you’re why cavemen chiseled
on walls as good as it gets
can you not be so violent I don’t think
so as good as it gets
is one of the best romantic comedies
ever and saw both Jack Nicholson and
Helen Hunt
when Academy Awards for their
performances why what are you thinking
about how to die mostly Greg Kinnear was
nominated for Best Supporting Actor but
didn’t win and we blame it entirely on
this line I have to draw you no no
absolutely not I’m a lot more shy than
people think I give off the wrong
impression my half too I haven’t
sketched anything in weeks there’s less
of a romance factor behind the caveman
quote than meets the eye
as Ken ears character is gay but that
does not diminish the cheese put your
beautiful Carol your skin your long neck
Helen Hunt is beautiful
sure but this is just too much we
strongly suspect that even cavemen knew
better than to trust their luck to a
line like this you’re why cavemen
chiseled on walls
I cut me a break number eight
I want you the notebook this is not
about keeping your promise and it’s not
about following your heart it’s about
security the notebook meets every
criteria when it comes to the chick
flick and with lines like this we can
see why what is that supposed to mean
money he’s got a lot of money it follows
that tried and true story of a girl from
an upper-class family who falls in love
with a poor boy from the wrong side of
town you leave here I hate you anything
that’s been happening I guess not I
think I must have misread all of them
saying yes you did luckily the poor boy
is Ryan Gosling who seems to almost
believe these lines as he tries to
convince Rachel McAdams to stay with him
you’re born you know it you wouldn’t be
here if there wasn’t something missing
but if you don’t look like Ryan Gosling
we doubt this line would work for you so
it’s not gonna be easy it’s gonna be
really hard we’re gonna have to work at
this every day but I want to do that
because I want you I want all of you
forever you and me every day number
seven our love is like the wind a walk
to remember it’s like the wind
I can’t see it I feel it just because
you know what a simile is doesn’t mean
you have to use one this is particularly
true when it comes to love people have
been trying and failing to emulate
Shakespeare’s classic shall I compare
thee to a summers day sonnet for years
Jamie and I had a perfect summer
together with more love than lots of
people know in a lifetime this terrible
line may very well be the worst attempt
yet sure Landon is no poet but after
losing the woman he loves
you’d think he’d come up with something
more heartfelt she taught me everything
about life hope in the long journey
ahead a sixth grader could have come up
with a better comparison truly an epic
Nicholas Sparks level fail I’ll always
miss her
but our love is like the wind I can’t
see it I can feel it number six
destiny serendipity this is just wrong
you don’t just have the most incredible
night Ian live with a perfect stranger
and then leave it all the chance do you
just cuz we don’t have all the time in
the world
we’ll give serendipity a pass for having
an incredibly illogical and unrealistic
plot like seriously who intentionally
loses a person’s number that they
actually want to talk to where we going
okay but sorry we just can’t let
cheeseball lines like this slide if we
both randomly pick the same floor we’re
meant to be together now we don’t blame
John Cusack for being confused in this
situation a wiser man would have bailed
in a hurry if he heard this ridiculous
explanation from a girl he was trying to
pick up then again there is only one
Kate Beckinsale I don’t understand this
you don’t have to understand you just
have to have faith faith in what destiny
number five I’m also just a girl Notting
Hill of course is this supposed to be
stage directions or dialogue with you
I’m in real danger
the critics seem to love Notting Hill
another romantic comedy about a woman
who wants to date a guy below her status
but this line is painful even coming out
of Julia Roberts mouth it seems like a
perfect situation
apart from that foul temper guilt
actually we imagine it took her multiple
takes to get through it without laughing
Plus why is she narrating the scene we
can see what’s happening how about
saying something worthwhile rather than
telling Hugh Grant what he already knows
the fame thing isn’t really real you
know no wonder he shuts you down I’m
also just a girl standing in front of a
boy
asking to love her number four take your
breath away hitch after that you’re on
your own there is no denying that Will
Smith is smooth and his pickup artist
character in this movie is even smoother
but even he couldn’t do much with this
groan inducing line but always remember
life is not the amount of breaths you
take it’s the moments that take your
breath away
sure it’s a cute play on words what the
setup is all wrong what person ever said
that the meaning of life relates to how
many breaths you take as for the moments
that take your breath away could you
have come up with a more cliche line
breathe just breathe we expect to hear
these lines in soap operas and on
Hallmark cards not in Hollywood
blockbusters if you must steal steal
away from bad company if you must cheat
cheat death and if you must drink drink
in the moments that take your breath
away did you just make mama
number three is it still raining I
hadn’t noticed
Four Weddings and a funeral hello what
is it about Hugh Grant that turns female
characters into blubbering idiots comes
a point when you’re so wet you can’t get
any wetter or at least that’s what
screenwriters seem to think we’ve spent
an entire movie including the titular
Four Weddings and funeral dealing with
the will they or won’t they romance of
Carrie and Charles it was it was all my
fault I mean I I’m the bastard here as
Charles finally begins his speech about
how much he loves her
auntie McDowell’s character inexplicably
comments on the weather the first time
my whole life I realized I totally and
utterly loved one person and it wasn’t
the person standing next to me in the
veil it’s
the person standing opposite me now in
the rain we’re not sure what’s worse the
fact that she says the line while soaked
from head to toe or the fact that grant
completely ignores it and continues
talking is it still raining I hadn’t
noticed the truth of it is I loved you
from the first second I met you number
two love means never having to say
you’re sorry love story wrong wrong
wrong
take this idiom as truth at your own
risk the risk isn’t it Jenny love story
is based on the Erich Segal novel of the
same name and is the tale of two young
lovers from you guessed it different
social standings who fall in love
despite their differences and without
their family’s consent I forgot my key
but even young love can excuse a
philosophy this misguided anyone in a
serious relationship will tell you that
love is all about forgiveness and
sometimes that means having to admit
that you were wrong and apologizing
Jenny up I’m sorry don’t
love means never having to say you’re
sorry an apology may save you when you
forget your anniversary this line
certainly won’t feel free to try it if
you really must but don’t blame us if
you have to sleep on the couch I’m sorry
love
love means never having to say you’re
sorry before we unveil our number one
pick here are a few honorable or in this
case dishonorable mentions
I think I’d miss you even if we never
met
I love you
boy I ever kissed Jake no one should be
the last maybe you and I had our chance
mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you
not even close
not even a little bit not even at all
number one you complete me Jerry Maguire
this is not only the corniest rom-com
line of all time it may be the worst
movie line in the history of film well
if you hate rom-coms that is we live in
a cynical world we’ve dealt with poorly
written lines before but adding Tom
Cruise’s overacting and this scene is
almost unbearable to watch I love you
you complete me Renee Zellweger’s
response is equally bad but what do you
expect when she’s reacting to this
dreadful line you had me at hello plus
at the end of the day the Joker said it
better no no you you complete me do you
agree with our list yeah what do you
think is the corniest rom-com line ever
and just banging around the mistletoe
hoping to be kissed for more exciting
