Isn't It Romantic (Movie 2019)

Isn't It Romantic is a romantic/comedy that lovingly pokes fun at that particular genre of film. Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect) stars as Natalie who is informed by her mother while watching Pretty Woman as a child that women who are not the perfect size and look, such as themselves don't have those happy endings like in the movies. Natalie has grown up with that in mind and feels invisible in the world. When she accidentally bangs her head she wakes up in an alternate reality.  She finds herself in the perfect rom/com version of her life. Having the spotlight on her is very uncomfortable for Natalie. But there are lessons to be learned in this reality that she has woken up in. All the cliches are here from romantic/comedies. Of course you have the 2 potential love interests for the heroine. There are video like music and dance sequences. And the fabulous wardrobe and shoes. There are some good laughs and a positive message at the end to boot. All in all a good time. Adam DeVine (Pitch Perfect), Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games), and Priyanka Chopra (Quantico) also star.
