Zoey Deutch and Kendrick Sampson get wrapped up in a convoluted case of gift confusion in Amazon’s glossy New York-set attempt to recall the classics of the genre
While Netflix might be credited with the resurrection of the romantic comedy after their successfully marketed Summer of Love lineup back in 2018, in a twist of cruel irony the better examples of the genre have mostly been found elsewhere ever since.
