It’s a Love Story is the kind of rom-com that feels like your favorite comfort show; full of witty banter and a little bit of chaos. Jane is a mess (in all the best ways), and her journey from sitcom punchline to boss-in-progress is fun to root for. Dan’s a classic grump-with-a-heart and the chemistry between the two? Slow burn perfection.

The pacing dragged a bit in the middle, but the dialogue and emotional payoff at the end made up for it. Plus, the nostalgia-meets-Hollywood setting was a great vibe. If you’re into second chances, fake-it-til-you-make-it chaos, and grumpy/sunshine energy, this one’s for you.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
