CHICAGO – “Isn’t It Romantic” knows exactly what it is, and what it wants to be. It is simultaneously for people who love Romantic Comedy, and those who profess to hate them … but may secretly love them. It’s an amusing trifle that’s about as surprising as a heart shaped box of chocolates, but sometimes that’s what you want.

Rebel Wilson stars as a cynical New York architect – one of the go to Rom-Com professions, second only to publishing in the annals of cinematic clichés – who hates Romantic Comedies for their unrealistic depictions of love. After a knock upon the noggin during a mugging, she wakes up to find herself trapped in a Romantic Comedy world where she’s the star.

“Isn’t It Romantic” opens everywhere on February 13th. Featuring Rebel Wilson, Adam Devine, Liam Hemsworth, Betty Gilpin, Priyanka Chopra and Jennifer Saunders. Screenplay by Erin Cardillo, Dana Fox and Katie Silberman. Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson. Rated “PG-13”
