Rebel Wilson plays a woman named Natalie, an architect who really can’t stand romantic comedies, considering them as just a make believe fantasy.
In the beginning of the trailer, it shows Natalie when she was younger as a child watching an old movie, “Pretty Woman” in the living room with her mother. Her mother tells her in full confidence, “Natalie, love’s not a fairy tale.” That sounds about right. Do you think so? Her mother continues, “Girls like us don’t get that. We’re no Julia Roberts.” The scene then switches when years has gone by. Natalie, dethroning how bad romantic comedies are, is told by her friend to be a bit more open to people and see if it’ll work out for her. So she listens to the advice her friend had given her.
Guess what happens next? The scene changes to where a Thief walks up to her as she was minding her own business in a subway. The thief tries to steal her purse but fails miserably when she pushed him on the floor. She then runs into a pole which knocked her clean out.
That’s unfortunate! The scene then switches to where Natalie wakes up in a bright, beauty-like world. Now, She’s deep in the middle of a romantic comedy. (Such comedic irony which makes this movie more interesting) She arrives in a world she doesn’t recognize. Her apartment is transformed into a colorful penthouse and every man she gets the chance to see if attractive to her. Read more: Isn’t it Romantic Trailer | Collider and Pitch Perfect 4 | Vanity Fair
