Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Playing It Cool is a 2014 romantic comedy directed by Justin Reardon and starring Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan, with Ioan Gruffudd, Luke Wilson, Topher Grace, Aubrey Plaza, Peyton List, Anthony Mackie and Philip Baker Hall appearing in supporting roles.The film centers around "Me" (Evans), a screenwriter who has to write a romantic comedy. The problem is that he has no idea what love is, and his friends are of very little help in improving his understanding of the emotion/concept. Then "Me" meets "Her" (Monaghan) at a charity event, finds himself dealing with feelings he's never experienced before, and is immediately smitten with the woman. There's a wrinkle, however: "Her" has a boyfriend.

Artistic License – History: Granddad's derring-do story about wooing Me's grandmother during World War II is anything but historically accurate, let alone plausible.

Betty and Veronica: Her has to choose between Stuffy (who offers her everything she wants in a life partner, but who also apparently bores her enough to make her flirt with strange men at parties) as "Betty" and Me (with whom she's got great personal chemistry, but who is also childish and unreliable) as "Veronica." She eventually chooses Me, and he is shown to at least be working on overcoming his flaws.

As Himself: Matthew Morrison and Ashley Tisdale appear as figments of Me's imagination and act out the parts he's writing for them as he works on his computer. They also appear in a nightmare threatening to kill Me for taking too long to write their movie.

Berserk Button: Me can't even look at a box of Cap'n Crunch because his mother stuck her goodbye note onto a box when he was a child.

Better Than a Bare Bulb: Me and his friends are all writers so they frequently bring up and discuss the shortcomings of various romantic comedy tropes.
