- Romantic chick-flick, drama, action or comedy? Whatβs your guilty Redbox pleasure?
The most romantic states in the country are clustered in the Midwest, with Wisconsin coming in as No. 2 on the list. Iowa, South Dakota, Indiana and Ohio were also in the Top 10. Could it be because theyβre all in the Snow Belt? That doesnβt explain Alabama and Louisiana, where folks are also fond of romance.
Theyβre sure not lounging around watching Julia Roberts turn the trick that changes her life in βPretty Womanβ in hot and dry Midland, TX, the least romantic city, or in woodsy Oregon, the least-romantic state.
But here in Michigan, movie watchers canβt get enough of dreamy Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lawrence, Redbox customersβ favorite actors.
