In [[Romantic Comedy]], [[Super-Hero Origin|gaining a superpower]] isn't a [[Call to Adventure]]; it's a way to get girls.
Line 27:
* The movie ''[[Other People's Money]]'' ended on a bittersweet note, as Larry had to live with the fact that being the best at what he does, and staying true to his unorthodox but sincere sense of ethics, had brought him resounding success as always, but at the same time driven away his love interest. It's an unusual and thoughtful way to leave off. It should be noted, however {{spoiler|that the last lines of the film imply that Larry and Kate will end up together, and in the original play, it is explicit that they eventually marry and have children}}.
* In the original ''[[Bedazzled]]'', the hero's deal with the devil spectacularly fails to get him the girl of his dreams at least five times. It's only after he gets out of the deal that he can go back to being an innocent short-order cook and win her himself.

** Amusingly inverted in the episode featuring Norm the Magic Genie, whose wishes ''can'' effect love, but Timmy words the wish just wrong and every other "Timothy Turner" in the world gets Trixie's love except him.
* The original [[Rankin Bass]] ''[[Jack Frost]]'' special falls neatly into this trope as a very literal example.
