Answer: Cupid is armed and dangerous!

The tagline "Cupid is armed and dangerous!" was meant to infer that the title character Emma played Cupid, the Roman god of love, by using devious tactics to match-make between the men and women in her life.

Gwyneth Paltrow played Emma Woodhouse, the main protagonist of the film. Lively, compassionate, but ever so slightly spoiled, her aim in life was to match-make for her friends and family. That was until her neighbour, Mr Knightley, towed her into line with his gentle criticism and feelings of love. The tagline "Five good reasons to stay single" was from "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994), "Love is in the hair" was from "There's Something About Mary" (1998), and "This ain't no chick flick!" from the comedy, "Chicken Run" (2000).

Answer: Waitress

The 2001 film was a surprise hit in America, although it was spoken in French and had English subtitles. The sweet romantic comedy was about Amelie, an innocent Parisian waitress who found a hidden metal box in her apartment containing childhood memorabilia belonging to a former child tenant. Amelie located the boy, who was by this time an adult, and gave him the box. The film then followed Amelie as she bought simple pleasures to other people she met.

An elderly patron at the bar where Amelie worked took an interest in her and realised how lonely she was. It was through talking to the patron that she admitted her love for a young man she had bumped into, although too shy to approach him when she organised a meeting with him at the bar. The patron once again intervened until Amelie found the courage to follow her heart.
