One of my most favorite romantic movies (and in fact it is ranked #5 in the "Romantic Comedy" genre for the American Film Institute's top 10 films in a given category). I used to watch this movie quite a bit before I got married because it's such a fun wedding film.
Katharine Hepburn is perfect as Tracy Lord, a spoiled heiress who is getting ready to marry for the second time. And James Stewart is perfect as Macaulay Connor, a reporter who has been to sent to get the scoop on Tracy's high society wedding of the year. However Cary Grant is only OK in his performance. He really doesn't have the cadence to pull off the high energy, wordy role of C.K. Dexter Haven, Tracy's first husband who shows up at her wedding unexpectedly. Despite that, this film is hilarious. There are so many classic, funny scenes that you will forget entirely about Grant's less than stellar performance. This is a great movie choice if your girl is feeling a bit depressed.
