Isn't It Romantic (2019)
BY aleanaf lister
Damn, this film really goes all out to make fun of Rom-coms. It's funny, entertaining and is fully aware of its silliness. Some moments feel a bit forced in terms of landing jokes but other than that it was a great time.
Yes, it can be really dumb at times but it's self-aware so does it really matter?
Also Rebel Wilson really amps up the comedic factor in this film.

The Press Reviews
Comic tornado Rebel Wilson lifts up this meta-take on romantic comedies and makes it your best bet for a Valentine's date at the movies. Too bad about the sucker punch of a happy ending. Full Review
It's the Inception of rom-coms. Sort of. Full Review
"Isn't It Romantic" walks the line between subversive and sendup. It gleefully makes fun of the well-known tropes of romantic comedies, while also satisfying our desire to delight in said tropes. Full Review
"Isn't It Romantic" is designed to leave viewers feeling lightheaded and forgetful. That dizzy sensation could be love - or a mild head injury. Full Review
Despite all that's disappointingly familiar about Natalie's fairy tale, there's a real person at its centre. Full Review
Wilson is a mostly engaging lead and while she's not a natural with some of the later stage sentiment, her offhand line delivery elevates a number of throwaway jabs and she's well-suited to physical comedy. Full Review
It's way more fun rooting for Rebel than it is pretending to care whether Katherine Heigl will get the guy. Full Review
