It’s not often that I sit giggling in a theater as a result of witnessing the most awkward flirtation imaginable on screen, clapping my hands, and literally bouncing in my seat as a romance unfurls in its own beautiful strangeness. I guess it’s because I’ve been ruined by such hollywood heartbreakers like New Years Eve, Love Actually, and Hugh Grant (the list can go on forever,) that I’ve lost all faith and interest in anything labeled “Romantic Comedy”. But Petty Romance did just that to me, and even though I was skeptical at the start, I left the theater realizing I had just seen a movie that I need to show everyone I know, and probably watch a thousand more times.
