Director: Todd Strauss-Schulson
Genre: Comedy/ Romance
Runtime: 89 minutes
Year: 2019
Starring: Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, Adam Devine, Priyanka Chopra, Jennifer Saunders, Betty Gilpin, Brandon Scott Jones

Description: Natalie (Rebel Wilson) is disenchanted with love and mysteriously finds herself trapped inside a romantic comedy.

Review: The New York architect Natalie does everything to stand out at work, but sadly people just see her as the girl who gets them coffee and sandwiches. And instead of designing the next beautiful building, she only gets to design the parking garages of those buildings. Natalie is cynical about love: she hates romcoms and things the only reason men would marry her are for a green card. Her life isn’t a success and she gets even more unlucky, when she is mugged and ends up in the hospital. But when she wakes up, the nightmare is about to start: she is stuck in a romantic comedy and Natalie herself is the leading lady.
Rebel Wilson plays Natalie and she is one of those actresses you either like or not. I do enjoy watching her, even when she can be a little too much at times. But for a comedy like this, she is the perfect choice.
“Isn’t it Romantic” is a romcom that is self-aware and mocks other films in the genre. It makes fun of the typical clichés we all know from these films, like stopping a wedding and dress-up montages.
Wilson makes turns this film into a fun time and it will make you laugh out loud sometimes. It’s definitely not one of the best in its genre, but it is a super enjoyable film when you’re in the mood for something funny and light-hearted.

Rating: 3 / 5
