The (heterosexual) rom-com was once the apple of Hollywood’s eye, its golden goose, a tried-and-true formula of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, and boy gets girl back, where the struggle provided emotional attachment, and the happy ending the relief real life doesn’t always deliver. But there are only so many ways to pair off the irreverent-but-forgiving female character with her aloof-but-oh-so charming male counterpart, and so, with the flood of content brought on by the advent of streaming, the number of culturally relevant rom-coms became fewer and farther between.
In Meet Cute, director Alex Lehmann and writer Noga Pnueli try their hardest to breathe some life into the genre, and although they never escape its traditional structure (which is not necessarily a bad thing), they do create a surprisingly reflective and daring movie.
