It's sad how popular actors make for popular movies, even if the movie itself is blah! More on that soon. Anyway, this is a random Rom-Com recco on something I stumbled upon recently. And another popular star Rom-Com you should avoid at all costs Enter the loop at your risk 🤪

Nah nah, I'm doing better!

Let's start with What to Avoid 🤮

Please say no to No Hard Feelings. It's just plain bad at so many levels, it's not funny. And yes, it's not funny other than a few forced smirks that you'll gift yourself out of pity. Can I please avoid the details? Just do yourself a favour and don't watch it.
Himanshu Khanna
Now for something I'd recommend you try 🫶

Love at First Sight is soulful. Try it out! 😍 Sharing my reasons below 👇
Himanshu Khanna
1. Starts at an airport. I think it's a cliche I've started admiring — the start of a lover's tale at the airport. And their short conversation about what Airports mean to them, is pretty interesting. Sort of what @jitesh would've discussed 🤭
Himanshu Khanna
2. For everyone who loves stats and a novel's narrative, this is pretty interesting. You'd know why when you see it. Do let me know your thoughts on this element 🙏

3. It's based in London and the shots are AMAZING!!!!!!! Everything from colour scheme, to the framing of shots and the cinematography, is an absolute winner. This movies made me re-realise after long about what I crave as a visual theme in a film.
Himanshu Khanna
4. The plot, the conversations, the subtle cliched twists, the nuances, the personalities — everything is interesting enough and yet subdued. One gets to soak it evenly and not be overwhelmed.
Himanshu Khanna
As a bonus, a lot of references are from classic novels and authors. And so if you love the reads, this should be a fun watch!

All romantics are different. That's the reason most rom-coms have lower ratings. Only the most polarising ones tend to be rated higher.

I don't go by ratings anyway. I did finish watching the film later and had some thoughts. Felt the lead actors didn't have much of a chemistry to begin with and wasn't sure about the narrative gimmick they had playing beyond the 4th wall. But yes, the premise definitely drew me in—I wish the script could have delivered on that front.

Sort of how I describe every decent rom-com out there 😁

I liked 16 Candles, Notting Hill, 10 Things I Hate About You, Confessions of a Shopaholic, when I first watched them... but there's only one I prefer to revisit time to time and that's Easy A 😭
Sneha Das
Kind of looking forward to Emma's latest, Poor Things, because I feel she does great comedy... (why not, she's a cat in human form).
Sneha Das
Similarly, I think they wrote No Hard Feelings around JLaw and she asked bigger bucks in turn. Although she was her usual self in the movie, I was shockingly impressed by Andrew B. Feldmen, the other lead. Good chuckles here and there

I don't know why writers don't come up with some crazy and unexpected twists and entertainment like 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith. All the movies feel the same to me, with easily predictable stories within 15-20 minutes into them. K-dramas often have the same story, with a rich CEO and a poor girl. Instead, I would suggest watching I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Your Name, Weathering with You, and 5 Centimeters Per Second.

Samesies. But instead of Easy A, it’s Crazy Stupid Love for me.

Oh that's definitely one of the better ones. Haven't watched it in years but the Emma-Gosling abs scene reappears in my YT and Facebook reels every now and then

All of them made sense as a teenager IMO. Not as a mid-life adult
