rom coms

Love story comedies

Rom coms are romantic comedies—films or television shows that blend love stories with humor.

The genre typically follows a couple through misunderstandings and obstacles to an upbeat ending: I'm in the mood for a rom com tonight.

The term compresses "romantic comedy" into casual shorthand.
