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.

What to Know

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.

Caroline Siede The Spool As funny as it is about sending up romantic comedy conventions, Isn't It Romantic also embraces what makes them so compelling. Jan 18, 2020 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) The big studio rom-com is back! Sep 18, 2019 Full Review Christopher Orr The Atlantic We now have an official subgenre in which a woman is initially presented as unattractive; is concussed into a fantasy in which she becomes impossibly desirable; and from the experience gleans important, affirmative lessons about believing in herself. Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Michael Clark Epoch Times The trick here is a delicate balance: Being smart without showing off, being ironic without getting mean; being funny without getting too esoteric or simplistic, and never lingering on one scene for too long or wearing out your welcome. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Isn’t It Romantic” is a decent entry into the head bonk genre. It’s not a terrible movie, but it’s far from being the sharp-witted satire that it very well could have been. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Rebel Wilson takes center stage in her first real lead role in Isn’t It Romantic, a charming (some may say “beguiling”), sometimes quite clever, and ultimately pointless comedy because of its lack of conviction in seeing its message all the way through.

Yuri B It was alright, a simple enough rom com. Plus Rebel Wilson usually adds her own style of crazy to almost every role. Definitely a good date night movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Andressa F It's ok to pass the time… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Alec B I don't actually know what kind romantic comedies this movie is trying to spoof and I don't think the people who made the movie do either. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review M M Corny, nothing happened. Only funny part was "beguiled". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Brand N Really funny movie, enjoyed watching it with my SO Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review David Y "Isn't It Romantic" is a romantic comedy that pokes fun at the genre's tropes while also celebrating them. Rebel Wilson delivers a charming and hilarious performance as the lead character, Natalie, who finds herself trapped in a romantic comedy world after a freak accident. The film's witty humor and clever satire make for an enjoyable and entertaining watch that will leave you smiling. While it may not break new ground, "Isn't It Romantic" is a fun and lighthearted film that is perfect for fans of the genre. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
