Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Isn't It Romantic is a 2019 Romantic Comedy starring Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, Adam Devine and Priyanka Chopra.Natalie (Wilson) is a woman disenchanted by love, who, after getting knocked unconscious, finds herself in a rom-com and she's the leading lady! Although she despises romantic comedies and the implications that come with them, she figures that she has to get to the end of the rom-com to escape it — which means getting someone to fall in love with her. She turns her sights on rich asshole Blake (Hemsworth), who is smitten with her in the rom-com world, and confides in Josh (Devine), one of her closest friends who, thankfully, seems largely unchanged...This film is also a Deconstruction of tropes, characters, narrative styles and imagery of romantic comedies.

She Cleans Up Nicely: Natalie and Whitney, who are made up to look dowdy (think early season Pam Beesly), but in the rom-com universe they are clearly beautifully made up and attractive as their actresses Rebel Wilson and Betty Gilpin.

comment
"Just Joking" Justification: Played with. When Natalie realizes that she's in love with Josh, but both of them are with other partners, she comments that "maybe we should switch". Everyone clearly expects that to be a joke, but she just stares with a completely straight face, until Josh suggests that she's just joking.

Karaoke Bonding Scene: Parodied when Natalie is asked to do karaoke at her good friend and potential love interest Josh's pre-wedding party. She starts out pitchy and unsure, but slowly gains confidence, backup dancers, and instrumentation; her rendition of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" involves the entire bar and turns into an "I Want" Song about how she actually wants love. Note that this is parodied as the whole thing occurs in Natalie's comatose fantasy about her life as a romantic comedy; she herself is in awe at how it escalated into a Crowd Song.

Betty and Veronica
 Isn't It Romantic / int_94e4c8ab
comment
Betty and Veronica: Both love triangles in the rom-com fantasy have a set-up like this; even lampshaded when Josh mentions to Natalie that he never thought they would end up in relationships with such rich, beautiful people. In the Josh-Natalie-Blake triangle, Blake is the wealthy, persistent, stranger Veronica to Josh's loyal, normal, longtime friend Betty. In the Natalie-Josh-Isabella triangle, Natalie is the normal longtime friend Betty to the model-beautiful Isabella's rich, haughty Veronica.

555: When Natalie scatters Blake's flower petals on the floor, each with a telephone-number digit written on it, they naturally form a number that has this.

I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me: Played with. Natalie complains that a guy like Blake would never notice her. However, she also apparently can't imagine any guy noticing her. She's wrong about that part, in both worlds.

Rom Com Job: Natalie is an architect, a role ordinarily reserved for a male lead. In the real world she's treated with little respect and works in a frumpy office setting that affords her only a small, run-down apartment, but after hitting her head she finds herself in a modern, high-tech office, with her apartment not only roomy but full of expensive clothing.

Meet Cute
 Isn't It Romantic / int_a82ff02f

Meet Cute: But of course. Josh namedrops this trope at the beginning, when Natalie interrupts two minor characters about to have one in the park. Blake and Natalie meet note technically for the second time, but it's the first time he notices her when she almost gets run over by his limo. Josh and Isabella meet when he notices her choking and does the Heimlich on her. Subverted with Natalie and Officer Hansom. He saves her from throwing herself in front of a train and it looks like this, but it turns out that he only did it so he can arrest her for entering the subway without paying for a ticket.

Shout-Out: Natalie's outfit when she arrives in the rom-com world is a copy of Julia Roberts' one in Pretty Woman. In-universe it's meant to have come from a hospital's lost and found. Includes references to My Best Friend's Wedding, Enchanted, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 27 Dresses and 13 Going on 30.

And You Were There: Natalie's friends and acquaintances are recast as romcom characters in her comatose fantasy. Isabella, in particular, is based on a billboard outside Natalie's office window she enviously compares herself to, because she believes Josh stares at it all day, without realizing he's looking at her.
