- The storyline usually involves a quest or a journey, which doesn’t go completely to plan and ends up so that the quest didn’t have the outcome expected.

- There is usually multiple small problems that arise throughout the film then one big finale at the end of the film with the big overall problem being resolved in a over the top fashion.

- The two characters often do not know each other before the film and you see them fall out and then finally become best friends in the end of the film and they live there lives ‘happily ever after’
