Rebel Wilson gets to have fun — and play against
type — in a “PG-13 romantic comedy,” literally. Isn’t It Romantic, the
laugh-out-loud comedy gem from director Todd Strauss-Schulson, gives the Aussie
comedy star free reign to turn the streets of New York City into a “Pretty
Woman” fantasy … well, at least for 18 hours (although it seems like days and
days from her point of view).
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced this past
week that Isn’t It Romantic will
be making the move to the DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack universe on May 21.
The ARR comes in at 95 days and the box office haul
currently stands at $47.5 million.
Although the storyline plows similar ground to Amy
Schumer’s I Feel Pretty
comedy from last year, Rebel Wilson makes her head-banging alternate reality
all her own. She’s funny, a little sad
and her co-stars play off of her energy to good effect. In short, Isn’t It
Romantic is a winner.

And, of note, filmmaker Todd Strauss-Schulson
gleefully lifts some of the alternate-reality fun from his 2015 direct-to-video
release, The Final Girls (the
‘80s slasher genre gets the same treatment as his rom-com Isn’t It
Romantic), which is certainly now worth a
second look (if you missed it) after the success of this film.
As to bonus nuggets, we have deleted scenes and
featurette titled “I Wanna Dance!”
