Isn't It Romantic
2 1/2 stars out of 5
It is harmless and fun.
It is cute the way they make fun of Rom-Coms at the same time...it is a Rom-Com.
The story line oddly follows a Rom-com, yet it wants to be funny but not so much. I laughed a couple of times.
The music stolen from other Rom-Coms is pretty funny and fun
Problems is the casting...most of the leads...
Rebel Wilson as Natalie, who wakes up after hitting her head in a Rom-Com. Is just okay here. I feel like I seen her do this before.
Liam Hensworth is just bad as Blake the love interest. He looks like he is uncomfortable the whole time...like he wants out of this film.
Priyanka Chopra as Isabella does not have much to do other than pose and throw out a couple lines.
Adam Devine as Adam the guy who secretly wants Natalie. WTH!!!!!!!!! Dude so miscast. No chemistry what so ever with Wilson in this film and has been a love interest with Wilson in other films but here it is off big time. Plus what is up with his hair???!!!
Now the person who steals this film is Brandon Scott Jones as Donny, Natalie's Rom-com gay friend. As she says..he sends "gayness" back many years. So great and funny and kind. Loved him in this.
Love how he magically pops up in scenes and she says, "How did you get here?". So funny.
Well right down the middle with 2 1/2 for Isn't It Romantic.
Harmless fun. Just wish it was funnier with better casting. Good music however.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
