Movie cliches

Cafe owner is a lawyer who quit practicing law because he felt is was bad for his soul. He ends up dating his customer, who is a successful business woman starting to realize something is missing from her life.

Important bowling games hinge on the main character's score in the final frame and often feature a 7-10 split.

The bachelor party is a total disaster.

The stripper is a man.

The cop is a stripper.

The cop is not a stripper, but an actual cop.

post-bachelor party the guy (or girl) is always trying to get their partner back, going to great lengths to do so. also the bachelor party is always the night before the wedding for some reason and it's a mad dash to get there in time.

#1 is half the plot of baby mama! i fucking love that movie

When I saw it in Baby Mama, I knew I'd seen it before. It's also in Lucky Seven and I'm sure several others.

Only if she's really drunk.

Or she has one leg partially amputated.

I have not seen either of the last two. Off the top of my head, though I can only think of one movie with bowling in it.


The cafe owner bit is more generalizable to the lawyer/high-powered businessman quitting to do "honest" work, usually running a bakery or a day care. "Bottle Shock" features this plot device, though sadly it's a true story (http://www.montelena.com/).

Man who talks the least at the bachelor party has the largest cock.

Cliche or not, I'm pretty sure this one is true.

Speaking of bowling cliches: One pin victory or "needs a strike to win"

Suspense scenes make me wanna puke.

midway through the second act, everyone is happy, then some kind of retarded miscommunication occurs to create conflict and drive the third act, after which everyone gets back to happy. common in romcoms.
