39 Rom-Com Actors Who Can Say “Good Girl”
There’s this moment in so many romance novels when 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 as well to romantic comedy movies.
We gathered our crack team of writers to break down which male leads from popular rom-coms can actually pull off saying “good girl” under VERY specific circumstances.
For example: There is always at least one moment in every movie Mark Ruffalo is in where he can say “good girl.”
