About This Quiz

Romantic comedies offer viewers a two-in-one deal that not many other genres can. On the comedy side, we get to laugh and cry and on the romance side, we get to really cry.

We're going to test your knowledge of some of the best romantic comedies in existence, but from a particular decade, the 1990s.
