About this show
Ever wished life was more like a movie? Join romantic comedy scholar Sarah Bradley as she takes you through a journey of comforting cliches, timeless tropes, falling-in-love montages and predictable endings. We'll attempt to answer the big questions (can enemies really become lovers? Is working in print media the real secret to finding love? Can you choose yourself and still get a happily ever after?), while coming up with a love story all our own. Reality is overrated anyway.

Bradley is an absolute joy and oozes charisma, just being clever and genuinely funny and in a space where she excels (no pun intended). 4 Stars
