If you look at it that way, and I think you're on to something, even stuff like "Zack & Miri make a Porno" could be seen as rescue fantasy - as well as the usual wish-fulfillment. Unlike the female rescue, this isn't so much a rescue from danger/poverty as an emotional or social rescue (and conveniently a sexual rescue as well).
