critics consensus

It follows as many genre conventions as it mocks, but Isn't It Romantic is a feel-good rom-com with some satirical bite -- and a star well-suited for both. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

Natalie is a New York architect who works hard to get noticed at her job, but is more likely to deliver coffee and bagels than design the city's next skyscraper. Things go from bad to weird when she gets knocked unconscious during a subway mugging and magically wakes up to find herself in an alternate universe. Always cynical about love, Natalie's worst nightmare soon comes true when she suddenly discovers that she's playing the leading lady in a real-life romantic comedy.

Audience Reviews for Isn't It Romantic

Jul 17, 2019

I like the "trapped inside a movie/tv show" concept. I've seen it done better elsewhere, but it's still pretty good here. And I very much enjoyed the way it plays out at the end. Actually I think the last time I was this warm on a romcom, it was When We First Met. Another Netflix original that I liked for virtually identical reasons... Isn't it Romantic still isn't my sort of film. I just don't gravitate towards this genre. But It's better. Almost makes it feel like we're collectively going in the right direction as an industry. I'm sure we're not, but it's nice to live in that delusion.

Rebel Wilson is terrific, but I don't actually know what kind romantic comedies this movie is trying to spoof and I don't think the movie does either.

The script fits the star perfectly. It was funny and enjoyable. But forgettable.

Chrisanne C Super Reviewer

This movie that spoofs the movies, specifically rom-coms, enjoys a willing cast even if the writing is thin and predictable. Teens might get a kick out of it, but a couple of dance numbers cannot make a movie a whole thing.
