Key Quote: “I love rom-coms and romantic dramas and films like that, and I felt so grateful they’re making a big renaissance, coming back in theaters and streaming. And I felt like this script and this movie could still fill a void for something that takes a traditional romantic comedy or romantic drama films, but really treats it seriously and isn’t afraid to keep it grounded and be truly funny, truly tender, truly emotional, all those things. So, I hope that other people have also been craving films like that and that they find this one,” Hartigan tells us.
