From Writing the romantic comedy by Billy Merint: 1. The Chemical Equation (State of Disunity) 2. Cute Meet ("How your mother and I met type story") 3. Sexy Complication Turning Point (Locks in Direction of Travel) 4. Midpoint / Opposite Direction Travel (Hook according to TM) 5. Swivel Second Act Turning Point (End of Act 2) Do something stoopid (usually a man's function) 6. Dark Crisis Climax (All is Lost) 7. The Joyful Resolution Add libel doses of comedy, couples bickering and making up, cook for 90 minutes. And remember structure works best when it's well hidden!
