Romantic comedies are the refreshing confections of the movie world — light, airy, and fun (and sometimes just a little bit cheesy). Whether you love them or loathe them, Hollywood cranked out more sweet stories of love with a touch of laughs this year, some a bit better than others. What 2010 romantic comedy is your favorite?

Whether you're feeling like a light, fluffy kind of movie or something with more depth, this week's DVD releases run the gamut. In addition to these three, Extraordinary Measures featuring Harrison Ford and Keri Russell also comes out today.
Featuring the likes of Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Anne Hathaway, and Jennifer Garner, this romantic comedy has plenty of star power for what it lacks in substance. The ensemble film follows multiple couples on the lovey-doviest day of the year, telling their individual stories. Unfortunately, by attempting to cover too much at once, the movie sort of glazes over each relationship, giving it more of a cute montage feel than anything with an actual meaty plot. That being said, it could be the perfect rental for a girly night in. Special features include several deleted scenes.
This biopic of Nelson Mandela (portrayed by the excellent Morgan Freeman) follows the iconic leader after his release from prison. Stuck with the difficult task of restoring a post-apartheid country, Mandela tries to bring the divided community together using a struggling rugby team and its captain (Matt Damon). Helmed by Clint Eastwood, Invictus isn't the director's best work — and it's a little too long — but it is the kind of well-acted, inspirational film that has you rooting for its characters. Special features on the Blu-Ray version include a featurette where Freeman meets Mandela for his role and a documentary spanning Eastwood's career.

The nominations for the MTV Movie Awards are out today, and we can exclusively announce the sexy lip locks up for the Best Kiss category! Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart lead the pack for their passion in New Moon just in time for them to start promoting Eclipse — it's a great pre-birthday present for Rob who turns 24 tomorrow! Kristen is actually up against herself, also earning a spot for her The Runaways smooch with Dakota Fanning. Taylor Lautner joins his Twilight costars in the category, though not for Jacob's tempting pout, instead for all his hot and heavy makeout sessions on screen with Taylor Swift in Valentine's Day. Voting starts in 3 hours at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT at MovieAwards.MTV.com!
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds don't star in the vampire saga, but also scored a place for their The Proposal kiss and Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington round out the nominees with an otherworldly love scene in Avatar. Could we get a repeat of Robert and Kristen's big tease from last year? We'll have to wait and see what happens when host Aziz Ansari takes the stage. Tune in to the live show June 6 on MTV and make sure to vote for your favorites!
