The characters Phil and Trev are very similar to the two main characters in the film Shaun of the Dead. There is a main character who quite dependant and capable on their own. They could have a potential love life and their job. However they have a friend who holds them back. For example ruins relationships, relying on the other one, and just always being there. This is exactly like Phil and Trev. Phil is supposed to be cooler than Trev. For example dresses nicer, makes an effort with his appearance, doesn't like as much typically geeky stuff as Trev. However ruins chances he has to have a girlfriend etc. This is shown in our film through Phil's chance to get a girlfriend and take her on a date and Trev unintentionally sabotaging it by acting as a waiter.
Other than this film we have looked at other typical romantic comedies and how they portray the typical date scene. These films included White Chicks, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Knocked Up, Bridget Jones, Sex and the City (the series though not the film) , About a Boy, There's Something about Mary, How to lose a guy in ten days.
