These aren't cute/funny/silly, though.

You could go old school with Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sleepless in Seattle, Sweet Home Alabama, My Best Friend’s Wedding
Those porn-star stand-in scenes though are cringe.

+1 for 13 Going on 30 and The Cutting Edge if you haven't seen those.
I don't know how old your teens are but I'd nix some of the other suggestions (e.g., Forgetting Sarah Marshall) that are R-rated and raunchy (even though I love them)

There's sex in Say Anything but at the end the hero helps the heroine achieve her dreams. It's also a movie about the importance of honesty. Between gf and bf and parents and children.
Yes, I guess I shouldn't have used a blanket statement. I can't really say I've seen ALL rom coms

I thought Down With Love is really cute.
Also Say Anything. Total classic.

It's just us girls on Valentine's Day this year, and I'm looking for movie ideas. Preferably cute/funny/silly vs. weepy/dramatic.
