Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock says she's stopped doing rom-com movies because they're 'terrible' and 'not funny'
Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock has said she has stopped doing rom-com movies because they're 'terrible' and 'not funny'.
The 45-year-old star recently appeared in the comedy The Proposal, which is out on DVD later this month, and said she doesn't think the movie is a typical rom-com.
She said to UK magazine Shortlist: "I don't call this a romantic comedy. I call it a motion picture.
"It reminds me of the films from the Thirties and Forties, where there was a landscape and a story, and drama was allowed to be in there. You can't have good comedy without drama in it."
Talking about romantic comedy movies, she added: "I stopped them six or seven years ago. I just stopped. They're terrible. They're bad.
"They're not funny, and they shouldn't be called romantic comedies because most of the time they're not romantic. And they don't generally write well for women in romantic comedies.
"I love my comedy too much... It wasn't being done in the way that I loved and could do it. It made me sad because I felt like it wasn't appreciated and no one was writing it, so I decided to abandon it."
