I like the good ones. I thoroughly enjoyed Where the Heart Is, Jersey Girl, Say Anything, the Korean version of The Lake House.
I even enjoy Adam Sandler chick flicks (Click, Punch Drunk Love, 50 First Dates). Sure, they tend to be formulaic, but even something done to a formula can be done well.
Mostly it's that they're safe and familiar and feed into the fantasy of people being able to connect and overcome obstacles.
Jackie Chan is fun, too.
