Isn't It Romantic

Natalie is an architect with a strong hatred for romantic comedies, stemmed from her negative mother who told her at an early age that girls like them cannot find love, and exacerbated by her low self-esteem and dating difficulties. Being a pushover, Natalie's lack of self-confidence causes her co-workers dismiss her position as architect and pawn off menial tasks on her. Natalie's assistant Whitney, a fan of romantic comedies, debates their veracity with her. Natalie sees them as full of lies, corny pop songs, unrealistic, full of montages. Whitney argues that flaws are what make people beautiful. Natalie points out the clichés, their lack of diversity, always a gay best friend who has no life, voiceover train of thought of the protagonist and slow-motion segments. Whitney says that Natalie is friendzoning Josh, their co-worker and her close friend, and believes he is in love with Natalie. She dismisses the notion because she is overweight and Josh appears to spend all his time staring at a model on a billboard across the street.
