Rom-com royalty, Aline Brosh McKenna has been defining the genre for decades. Our TaraDBennett asked her about the state of the rom-com and where Your Place or Mine fits in:
Aside from their core love stories, what also distinguishes those three rom-com releases is that they all come at the genre from atypical entry points. Romantic tropes fuel all great love stories, in any medium, but screenwriters have been taking some swings in changing up those rom-com norms. Withuses love as its conduit into a race-relations comedy of manners.
Seeking some insight into how she so confidently bends tropes to her will, Paste Magazine connected with McKenna to get her assessment of the current rom-com landscape and some insight into how she drills down into what our hearts want. That’s a common theme you’ve used in your rom-com writing of late: Lovers with a lot of personal baggage. In, Debbie and Peter have been friends for 25 years, but can’t overcome their fears to seriously see one another as the soulmates that they are.Yeah, they’re friends. They need to convince themselves, not each other really, just themselves, that they’re worthy of pursuing someone who is so kind to them. It’s a very un-snarky movie. Everyone is quite nice and loving.
It is like they’re writing love letters to each other in a funny way. They are constantly connected and that’s why we did so many split-screens, and all those split-screen things were planned out very carefully, and shot very specifically, so that you were seeing them do things at the same time and uncovering those similarities and differences. Everything between them, we wanted it to be either very, very similar or completely different.
