There’s lots of romance films made for men.

But they tend to be romance dramas, not romance comedies. For example:

* Jerry Maguire
* Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
* 500 Days of Summer

These tend to have slight comedic elements but the emphasis is on the drama.

However, there are exceptions like Groundhog Day but it felt like the focus was more on existential dread than the romance.
