After looking more into the comedy genre, I labelled my film as a mixture of dramedy and romantic comedy. The dramedy aspect comes into play when you take into account the issues that each character of the family is dealing with. The romantic comedy aspect comes into play when it comes to the romance that the youngest daughter will fall into.
The characters of this family all fall into some basic media representations of stereotypes. There is the oldest daughter who is extremely smart and focused more on drama and art in high school. This daughter is also married to an extremely intelligent man and they are both teachers. The middle daughter is the always pretty and popular girl who focused more on her social life in high school. Then there is the youngest daughter. This is the character who is mainly focused on and is still trying to find herself through love and taking chances with her life choices. The parents are loving parents who also have heir quirks. The dramedy aspect of the film is highlighted when it comes to each character's issues. The oldest daughter is struggling with Type 1 Diabetes, the middle daughter suffers blindness in one eye due to an accident, and the youngest daughter suffers from an eating disorder. I am hoping that this aspect of the film would make it more relatable and intriguing. Also, the family focused on in the film is very realistic. They aren't portrayed as overly wealthy or "perfect," but they are an average-upper class family with real and relatable issues.
