All Our Favourite Romantic Comedies Are Based On Lies

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is officially getting the TV sequel treatment, and we're spiralling over what that means for the most iconic yellow dress moment, reimagined.

But it got us thinking about the one thing every great rom com has in common: an enormous, plot-driving lie. From fake fiancés to stolen identities to a man who helps reset his girlfriend's memory every single day, we're deep diving the beautiful deceptions that make these movies work, and would absolutely land you in a true crime doco in real life.

We're unpacking all our favourite love story deceptions, before landing on the takeaway we did not see coming: maybe we should all just be lying more.
