SYNOPSIS
REVIEW SUMMARY
If you learn anything from Isn't It Romantic, it's that a Rom-Com about clichéd Rom-Coms makes for a perfectly decent Rom-Com. I mean, the film isn’t perfect (the comedy never gets past the chuckle barrier), but its sweet and predictable spirit make for an oddly infective and enjoyable experience. I just wish they went with a more subtle approach sometimes, as things become less funny the more they explain the satire in round about ways. But with plenty of nice and harmless moments to be had, Isn't It Romantic is definitely easy to like - just maybe not love.
