Rebel Wilson has an INCREDIBLE rom-com-approved wardrobe in this movie, but there are a couple of moments where her outfits are a direct homage to Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. The first is when she emerges from hospital in the white dress and black hat, and a dog-walker passing by literally says, “hey, pretty woman!” Later, the red dress Rebel’s ...
The wardrobe scene in Isn’t It Romanticis reminiscent of the moment in Suddenly 30 when Jennifer Garner’s character is blown away by her grown-up wardrobe, especially all of her gorgeous shoes.
When Natalie realises she’s in a rom-com in the middle of Central Park, couples start dancing around her in what looks like a direct visual reference to the big musical number from Enchanted (which in itself is a gentle parody of Disney movies).

At the end, even after she and Josh connect, Natalie declares “I complete myself”. It’s a glorious twist on the famous Jerry Maguire line “you complete me”.
