Isn't It Romantic Reviews

I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I have to admit that the damned thing was not so bad at all after all. Indeed, the whole anti-romantic comedy concept was actually fairly entertaining. Sure, it might seem really silly but, at least, it was refreshing to see a movie and a main character which were actually conscious about the fact that everything happening was actually seriously ridiculous. It was also a nice touch that Josh (the character played by Adam Devine) was the only one who didn’t seem to be under the ‘spell’ but it was maybe slightly disappointing that the main character didn’t notice it right from the start. Above all, it was some perfect material for Rebel Wilson though. To be honest, I was surprised that it was her first leading part as she had been around already for quite some time. However, she definitely was up for it and she was seriously entertaining. Recently, she has lost a lot of weight, as it is apparently impossible in Hollywood to look different than everyone else, but I really appreciate the fact that she looked like a ‘normal’ woman in this movie which was really refreshing and, yet, she was still quite charismatic. Eventually, the only thing that slightly ruined the whole thing for me was the musical number at the end. Indeed, I never really cared for this typical romantic comedy gimmick and, in this case, it felt really out of place and uncalled for. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really groundbreaking, it turned out to be actually a really solid romantic comedy and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
