DVD Review: Isn't It Romantic?

Isn’t It Romantic?
[DVD Isn’t]

I prefer to take actress/singer Rebel Wilson in small doses but, in this movie starring her, I’m okay with the whole shebang for once. Wilson plays Natalie, an overlooked junior architect who, through a head injury, seems to have been transmogrified into a life full of glamor, power, and [shudder] treacly romance. As she navigates her resulting relationship with a dream-guy boyfriend, she starts losing touch with her work bestie, Josh. How does it all turn out? This has a surprisingly sweet tone in among the surrealism and sarcasm, and it pairs Adam Devine with Wilson again (Pitch Perfect movies) for satisfying chemistry. Liam Hemsworth and Priyanka Chopra round out the main cast.

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try watching the films What Women Want, Bride and Prejudice or Leap Year.]
