English Only, Please freshens up the romantic comedy
Absurdity is a given in the rom-com business. We wouldn’t have to point that out except that lots of people still think their lives are rom-coms, and that at some point they will be loudly declaring their love in a public place in front of a cheering crowd. The achievement of English Only, Please, directed by Dan Villegas (Mayohan) is that it keeps the timeworn tropes of the genre but somehow makes them engaging again. We may see the ending coming a mile away, but we need to see it through.
