‘Starstruck’ gives rom-coms a necessary reality check
which turns stereotypical portrayals of heterosexual romance on their head.Women in love are typically depicted in films and on television as one of the following: a) desperate spinster/old maid/nag/emotional wreck seeking affection at whatever cost; b) single! Footloose! Fancy free! Gal about town! Career woman! or c) the proverbial sleeping beauty, glued to her phone, swiping like mad, awaiting a prince.
By giving Jessie and Tom lifelike looks, personality traits, emotions, and romantic scenarios Matafeo has spun portrayals of stereotypical heterosexual love on its head. Plus, even if you’re not into romantic comedies , this series holds up from a comedic standpoint. Jessie’s hijinks at a secondhand store, a murder mystery dinner, and while working at a movie theater—all of which have nothing to do with love or dating—are worth the watch alone.
