Can You Guess Florida’s Most Popular Rom-Com Movie?

Author Jen Glorioso

It’s Valentine’s Day. Some people are treating their partner to a fancy meal or date night. Other couples like to celebrate by staying home and watching their favorite movie. Many think Valentine’s Day is just a cheesy commercial holiday. But we all have that guilty pleasure Rom-Com movie. A new study by Looper identified which Rom-Com is most popular in each state. Can you guess Florida’s favorite Rom-Com? I’ll give you a hint, it’s a classic late ’90s film.

There are so many good options to choose from. There’s a reason why the genre is such a staple in filmmaking. Do you prefer a movie that tugs at your heartstrings like “When Harry Met Sally“? Or do you like the more comical movies like “The Proposal“? Personally, for me, it’s hard to choose just one. I’d say my top 3 are “Crazy, Stupid, Love”, “When Harry Met Sally”, and “The Wedding Singer.”

To find the favorite Rom-Com movie in every state, Looper did a serious deep dive. The study looked into IMBb’s list of the 100 best rom-com movies of all time and analyzed the global Google search volume for each movie. It then cross-referenced the findings with IMDb votes and scores and box office lifetime gross to identify the top 15 best rom-coms out there. To find the favorite in each state, they analyzed Google search trends data for each of the top 15 movies. To see the favorite in each state, click here.

What is Florida’s Most Popular Rom-Com movie?

According to this study, Florida’s favorite Rom-Com is “10 Things I Hate About You“. This movie was the most loved in multiple states including Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin. From the same team that made “Legally Blonde”, this rom-com stars Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger at the start of their careers. Everyone remembers the iconic scene of Heath Ledger singing to “Julia” on the football field. And Kat Stratford’s legendary poem towards the end of the movie.

6 Places In Tampa Bay Where You Can Get A Heart-Shaped Pizza

Give your valentine a “pizza” your heart! What’s a better way of saying “be mine?” than a heart-shaped pizza? It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day meal that can be made just how you want. The hardest part is finding a place that will make it for you on one of the busiest days of the year. Well, don’t worry because we did the work for you! Here are 6 places in the Tampa Bay area where you can order a Valentine’s Day-themed pizza. We got the idea from delish.com but catered our list to feature more local places than only big chains.

Note that some of these places are not offering it as a promotional special, but may be willing to accommodate your order if they aren’t slammed. It would be a nice gesture to show the kitchen some love with a cash tip if they can accommodate your order. If you plan on going out this year, we always recommend making a reservation.

The perk with ordering through the chains is they may be offering the deal for a little bit longer than local businesses. When we were doing our research we found most places will do it by request or just for one day. But it’s definitely better to order locally. It doesn’t matter if you’re spending February 14 with your boo, your friends, or just yourself. As long as you have a heart-shaped pizza, that’s all you need. The best part is pizza will never break your heart.
