Gifts for Christmas/Gift of the Magi (2010, dir. Lisa Mulahy)

You only need to watch a few romantic comedies to know that almost every unlucky singleton wondering why dating hasn’t worked out for them yet has a pair of friends who are a solid foundation of a good relationship. Think Lily and Marshall from How I Met Your Mother, but boring so that the audience will focus on the Teds of the world instead. They’re a supportive team who are always there for each other with no conflict- adorable for five minutes as they lecture Katherine Heigl or similar 30-something, but tedious for any longer period of time.
