It might be a little early to declare this a new golden age of romantic comedies, but let’s at least admit it’s a solid silver. That last one from 2016 starred Rebel Wilson in the story of a single woman and her friends navigating love and life in New York City, which is pretty much the territory of Isn’t It Romantic. Wilson stars as Natalie, who seems to have grown up in Porpoise Spit, Australia (see Muriel’s Wedding), while watching Pretty Woman. But although the title doesn’t end in a question mark, it’s no spoiler to proclaim that the answer to Isn’t It Romantic is yes. And musical, although Natalie is probably right to wonder, after an impromptu karaoke dance number: “How did everyone know the choreography?”
