Teen romcom
Other romcom’s such as ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ and ‘Pretty
Woman’ are targeted at a much older, mature audience of about
30 to 45. These films have more of a mature whit and romance
compared with the teenage romantic comedies. They also include
more complex storylines and appeal more to the middle aged
woman. The actors included in the matured romcom’s are also
similar ages to that of the audience or slightly younger. I have
given my film Classmates a film rating of 12 (www.bbfc.co.uk).
The film does not contain inappropriate material, but may contain
mild scenes of bad language, crude remarks etc. The 12 rating
allows my audience to identify that there will be no content which
is inappropriately rude or offensive.
