The time of the romantic comedy is now, and Netflix is definitely leading the charge. The streaming service has released several romantic comedies [1] that have quickly become fan favorites — including Set It Up [2] and To All the Boys I've Loved Before [3] — and its latest addition has done the same. Sierra Burgess Is a Loser is a modern retelling of the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac that follows its titular character as she catfishes her goofy football player crush [4] after a case of mistaken identity.
Fans quickly fell in love with the movie's body-positive theme and the adorable cast, which include Stranger Things [5]' Shannon Purser and To All the Boys I've Loved Before [6] heartthrob Noah Centineo [7]. Some raised concerns about the film's more troubling qualities [8] — such as the catfishing premise and problematic jokes — though a majority agreed that as a whole, the movie's message of self-acceptance was one desperately needed nowadays. Keep reading to see the sweetest fan reactions, and make sure to watch Sierra Burgess Is a Loser!
