Genre conventions part 3 actually done

In this blog, I will be talking about the stars of this genre. I will also be talking about the intended audience for movies that are comedy dramas. There are a lot of actors which have played in comedy drama, but here are very few famous actors that act specifically in comedy dramas. Most actors are famous for their roles in movies that are either a comedy or a drama. Some of those actors include Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ian McKeller. Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy are actors famous for their roles in many comedies. Adam Sandler has starred in comedies such as “Grown Ups” and “Just Go With It”. Eddie Murphy has started in comedies such as “Dolemite Is My Name” and “Daddy Day Care”. Ian McKeller and Leonard Di Caprio are famous for their roles in dramas. Steve Martin has starred in movies such as “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “Novocaine”. Leonard Di Caprio has stared in movies such as “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “The Departed”. Most movies in the genre comedy drama are rated PG 13 or R. This shows that the comedy drama genre is intended towards teens, young adults and adults. It is also this because some of the movies deal with mature relationships and mature topics. These groups typically can handle the explicit content and enjoy it. They are also the group most likely to see trailers for this type of movie because they watch mature tv shows on tv and use the latest app. This makes it easy to market to this type of audience. These groups are also typical movie goers who are likely to see the commercials during a mature movie that they watch. They are also the group that can afford to pay for going to the movies and can dictate how they spend their money.
