Chemistry makes a great rom-com, and this movie has it in spades. Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell play put-upon personal assistants who decide to set up their bosses (Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs, respectively), Parent Trap-style, to ease their own workloads. Deutch and Powell make a cute couple, but just as compelling are the relationships between each ass...
Nerdy protagonist helps handsome protagonist win over attractive woman is a well-worn rom-com plot line that began with Cyrano de Bergerac and got recycled in Can’t Buy Me Love and Love Don’t Cost a Thing. But in The Half of It, Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) helps a straight boy write love letters to their mutual female crush. More a drama than a comedy, ...
Crazy Rich Asians is an escapist delight. The clothes, the mansions, and—yes—the engagement ring are all over the top. But while Henry Golding makes for an attractive and charming love interest, the real tension in this story—adapted from Kevin Kwan’s novel and directed by John M. Chu—is not whether Constance Wu’s Rachel will end up marrying her bo...
The Lovebirdsunexpectedly skips over the part where Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani’s characters actually fall in love and dives right into the portion in the couple’s relationship where they’ll either stick together forever or utterly fall apart. Though this means audiences lose out on much of the fun of the traditional rom-com, they gain a murder my...
It’s your typical rom-com set-up: Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Girl is hurt when she finds out boy is hiding her existence from his parents who expect him to have an arranged marriage. Girl gets mysteriously ill and is put into a medically induced coma and boy becomes even more devoted to her while she’s unconscious. Truth, of course, is stra...
Every rom-com needs to cook up some excuse to keep two obviously smitten people from getting together until the very end. Nahnatchka Khan’s Always Be My Maybecomes up with a thoroughly modern solution: Ali Wong’s character is a globetrotting chef and entrepreneur, while her love interest, a childhood friend played by Randall Park, never left home. ...
Seth Rogen has played a schlubby screw-up who winds up with an unattainable, powerful and smart beauty too many times to count. The lack of realism is part of the joke, but also part of a tiresome pattern of bromance movies where men have to be with women, even if they’d rather hang with their male buddies, and the women have to fix those men befor...
Jane Austen’s Emma was already the source material for several great movies and TV shows, including the masterpiece Clueless, before Autumn de Wilde’s version starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Johnny Flynn came along. But in the vein of The Favourite and other irreverent period pieces, this Emma.approaches the formalities of Austen’s time with a knowing...
Obvious Childought to be known as more than the “abortion rom-com.” Jenny Slate plays a stand-up comedian who gets pregnant after a romantic encounter with Jake Lacy (who has gone on to play many more nice guy roles in rom-coms since). The movie was received as groundbreaking largely because it doesn’t make much of Slate’s character’s decision to h...
A lot of rom-com plots (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Wedding Crashers, Bridesmaids, Palm Springs) unfold at weddings. Bold declarations of love tend to make commitment-phobic characters uncomfortable and lovelorn characters willing to take risks. The endearing Plus One takes a less obvious route. Maya Erskine (Pen15) and Jack Quaid (notably the son...
