Loved the Materialist comparision! That movie had this effortles charm that's been missing in recent rom-coms. The reversed dynamic brings something fresh but keeps the heart of what made those early 2000s rom-coms work - watching someone genuinely transform through connection. Been thinking alot about how rom-coms used to balance aspiration with authenticity, and it sounds like Materialist might actually nail that.

Thank you!! We need more good romcoms. Love the classics but a few new ones with a modern outlook would be great 💗
