by There’s a moment in so many romance novels where the male love interest drops a well-placed “good girl” in the middle of a sex scene – and it’s almost always HOT. But for some reason, the “good girl” effect doesn’t translate very well to romantic comedies.
We gathered our amazing team of writers to find out which male leads of popular rom-coms might actually get around to saying “good girl” under VERY specific circumstances.
For example, there’s always at least one moment in every movie that Mark Ruffalo is in where he can say “good girl.”
