Movie Review: Isn’t It Romantic 🥀❤️

Isn’t It Romantic takes all the common rom-com tropes from popular movies to make one big romantic comedy.

This post for Isn’t It Romantic contains spoilers, but TBH spoilers don’t really mean anything for rom-coms.

If a comic book movie such as Deadpool can be self-aware, then Isn’t It Romantic (2019, directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson) is that kind of movie for the rom-com genre—a genre which was dead for several years before having a comeback last year, thanks to Netflix. Isn’t It Romantic is a meta romantic comedy that references all the cliché rom-com tropes to form one big movie. The movie follows the cynical romantic architect Natalie (Rebel Wilson) who gets mugged at a subway station one day, and wakes up to the realisation that she’s in her worst nightmare—a romantic comedy.

After the disappointing Justice League last year, I’m so excited that the DC Universe is back on track with creating great comic book movie adaptations with Aquaman (2018, directed by James Wan). Aquaman depicts the origin story of Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) and his journey to becoming the true king of the aquatic kingdom called Atlantis.
