Isn't It Hilarious

Want to have some fun and watch a light-hearted, feel good movie with your friends?

Look no further than Rebel Wilson's Isn't It Romantic. This movie made me smile from ear to ear, and I saw it twice in theaters - once alone, and once with a friend.

It was better the second time, laughing along with my gal pal.

We're still quoting it.

The Positive:
Isn't it Romantic is funny, endearing, and laugh worthy. If you love romantic comedies, this will poke fun at all your favorite cliches while still warming your heart with it's sweet story.

There's more to it than meets the eye. This story isn't just fluff, but has a meaty moral to the story that I hope everyone finds in their lifetime.

Because I love my readers, I can't tell you what that moral is. I almost thought they were going to miss it - a real #swanitude moment - but then they swung back around and hit a home run.

Rebel Wilson is a positive female lead, and a rarity amongst Hollywood. In her late 30s, more voluptuous, and with a history of being the sidekick, Rebel isn't what Hollywood generally puts in the Leading Lady category. Yet Rebel owns the role and your affection as the lovable Natalie, an architect with low self-esteem and a sarcastic sense of humor.

We're treated, once again, to Hemsworth humor - this time in the form of younger brother Liam. While not as funny as big brother Chris, he still shines as the American-turned-Australian Blake, a millionaire's son who falls for Natalie in the Romantic Comedy world Natalie wakes up in.

I can't say enough about the musical scene with Rebel and Adam Devine. Whitney Huston would be honored (I think) to see them bopping to one of her best beats.

Plus, the ending has a fun surprise.

The Negative - 
You can't expect Isn't it Romantic to be A Star is Born. It's a chick-flick. Something fun, light, and mindless to soothe you after a hard day. Compare it to its fellows, and you'll have a grand time.

There are a few moments where Isn't it Romantic misses the mark, but it makes up for it with fun, heart, and happiness intentionally soaked in tropes and cliches.

The Rating:
3 feathers

Final Verdict:
Catch Isn't it Romantic for a girls night or with your guys. You'll have a great time.
