What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Woman in Red, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Lonely Guy is

Another entry in the long line of rom-coms where sadness somehow smells like roses. After catching his girlfriend with someone else, a greeting card poet stumbles through a parade of bad dates and worse advice. It mistakes despair for whimsy, but at least the protagonist never gets a stapler stuck in his head.
