Romantic comedies follow a lighthearted plot where true love overcomes obstacles. The lovers are typically young and meant for each other, but faced with complications like class differences or parental disapproval until marrying in the end. Common conventions include a male protagonist falling for the female, meeting by chance in an urban setting, and targeting both male and female audiences. Costumes and makeup keep the female lead natural and girlish while revealing little about the male to avoid stereotyping. Examples of successful romantic comedies in the genre include Clueless, Friends with Benefits, and Pretty Woman.
