Isn't It Romantic

As funny as it is about sending up romantic comedy conventions, Isn't It Romantic also embraces what makes them so compelling.

The big studio rom-com is back!

We now have an official subgenre in which a woman is initially presented as unattractive; is concussed into a fantasy in which she becomes impossibly desirable; and from the experience gleans important, affirmative lessons about believing in herself.

It's way better than you would expect for a movie with the description "Rebel Wilson and Liam Hemsworth rom-com".

A weird meta take on romantic comedy.

Isn't It Romantic had us at hello but loses its spell when it has to develop its plot. Not as smart or sharp as you'd hope, it still delivers a lot of fun for those who can't resist a bad Katherine Heigl flick.

“Isn’t It Romantic” is a decent entry into the head bonk genre. It’s not a terrible movie, but it’s far from being the sharp-witted satire that it very well could have been.

Rebel Wilson takes center stage in her first real lead role in Isn’t It Romantic, a charming (some may say “beguiling”), sometimes quite clever, and ultimately pointless comedy because of its lack of conviction in seeing its message all the way through.

It's not great... just superficially funny.

A total delight.
