Research on genre Comedy / Drama

File:50FirstDates.jpgThere are many films which have the genre 'Comedy drama'. Such as, I Spy, Bad boys 2 and many more.
All these genre of film (comedy drama) have all got more or less the same structure.
Starts of funny, all seems to be going well then all of a sudden drama strikes and the movie is all about fixing it. Normally girl meets boy are always in comedy, drama's. For example in this movie, 50 First Dates, Adam Sandler goes of sailing after a funy introduction, his boat brakes down which is comical, he then meets a girl, Drew Barrymore, all seems to be going well but when Adam Sandler returns to see her the next day, there is a change of mood as she doesn't remember who he is. This is when we find out she has short term memory loss. And the ending is happy. 

Bad Boys 2. Is quite different to how comedy, Dramas normally start of, but soon falls in to 'place'.  Actor Will Smith is main character. Finds him and his police partner Martin Lawrence in a situation amongst the 'KKK' it is all very tense, but comedy soon unfolds when they take there robes of. As the schock on 'KKK's faces are very comical. Again it ends happy

Bad Teacher. Has the same structure, Cameron Diaz is engaged to millionaire for his money. Her fiancee realises this and dumps her. Again ends happily.
Normally the main characters in Comedy dramas are women. As production companies would like more women to go and see there film. But not all the time women are main characters, such as in 50 first dates. The music which  is added to these films are normally upbeat and happy.
