'It was highly offensive to me personally.' Just 10 of the worst rom-coms of all time.

It's time to talk about something very important: romantic comedy movies. 

You know the ones. 

Boy meets girl. They might despise each other... at first. Or perhaps they were friends who never quite realised the love of their life was standing right in front of them all along. 

Then, slowly (but not too slowly) they begin to fall in love before being hit with a major plot twist. 

They might breakup. The pair might even date other people. But in the end, they always find their way back to each other.

It's the plot of any classic rom-com. 

But for every great rom com that exists, there are just as many bad ones...

Watch: Women in romantic comedies keep falling over. Post continues after video. 

Here are 10 women on the worst rom-coms of all time.

Worst rom-com movie #1: Falling Inn Love.

"Falling Inn Love on Netflix is terrible in every single possible way, but the worst part is that the main character is supposed to be from a small town in New Zealand but is played by an Australian and doesn't even TRY to change his vowels. Then he takes Christina Milian on a hike to enjoy a picnic and proceeds to show her a VEGEMITE SANDWICH. It was highly offensive to me personally." — Chelsea.

Worst rom-com movie #2: Tickets To Paradise.

"I really didn't like Ticket to Paradise. YOU'RE NOT IN BALI, YOU'RE IN AUSTRALIA. STOP PRETENDING." — Charlie.

Worst rom-com movie #3: Falling For Christmas.

"I tried to watch Lindsay Lohan's rom-com, Falling For Christmas. The acting... I just couldn't. Too over the top." — Kerrie.

Worst rom-com movie #4 P.S. I Love You.

"Just so bad. Why does she need to make shoes?" — Harrie.

Worst rom-com movie #5 Your Place Or Mine?

"Your Place Or Mine was not good. Reese and Ashton have ZERO chemistry together!" — Maddie. 

Worst rom-com movie #6 Holidate.

"The premise makes NO sense. Also, it feels like they repeat the same date over and over again, therefore the same joke. It's really bland, and a bit chaotic to follow at the same time." — Andi. 

Worst rom-com movie #7 How Do You Know.

"My mum forced my whole family to see How Do You Know in the cinema. She convinced us by only revealing the cast, Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson. We were thinking it was going to be a peak 2000s comedy. It was not that. It’s been a decade and we still never let her pick movies without thorough vetting now." — Susannah.

Worst rom-com movie #8 I Believe In Santa.

"A Christmas rom-com came out on Netflix last year called I Believe In Santa about a man who struggles to prioritise between the love of his life and his belief in Santa and Christmas magic. Yes, really." — Jaslyn

Worst rom-com movie #9 This is 40.

"This is 40 is SO boring. Sorry not sorry." — Carla.

Worst rom-com movie #10 What To Expect When You’re Expecting.

"The vibes were so off. I didn't like JLo in this movie because it all felt so forced." Clare

Love actually

Just no.  Terrible.  The power imbalances make 95% of the relationships creepy.
