About This Quiz

"Love never felt so good!" Is there anything better than romance and comedy in one amazing package? If you don't think so, you're ready to fall in love and laugh at this quiz.

Romantic comedies have come a long, long way. Many might say that the first creator of the rom-com was none other than William Shakespeare. From classics like Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare set an early bar with the perfect blend of romance and comedy.

Since then, romantic comedies have played a huge role in Hollywood classics. Who could forget the joining of Richard Gere and Julia Roberts as Edward and Vivian? What about the 2006 Amanda Bynes film inspired by Shakespeare's Twelfth Night? When thinking of Steve Carell, could you ever forget his iconic wax scene?

When faced with actors or actresses like Steve Carell or Sandra Bullock, you could probably name their film instantly. What if we gave you a screenshot of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan? How would you choose between Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail? Could you differentiate between rom-com couples like Gere/Roberts and Gosling/Stone?

These actors and couples helped shape their films, and we want to know if you'll come out laughing or heartbroken at the end of this quiz! Let's find out!
