If you answered:
Mostly A
You are a modern person, probably played by someone relatively cool like Ashley Judd or Diane Lane. Despite being funny, your film will have a bittersweet title such as Lonely Hearts.
Mostly B
Well aren't you a go-getter! Your hard-working character will be played by someone uptight (but actually fun) such as Sandra Bullock, who will learn to love in All Work and No Play.
Mostly C
Approaching romantic farce now, which can only mean one thing: Jennifer Aniston (or, if on a budget, Kate Hudson) starring in Kiss her, you fool!
Mostly D
Cutesy time, so assemble Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Jackman, a mischievous cat, a cute kid and a serious misunderstanding for Four Play.
