As a massive fan of rom-coms — especially those classic late 90s and 2000s gems that just hit differently no matter how many times I rewatch them — I always approach new releases with a little bit of skepticism. It’s honestly been a while since I’ve watched a recent rom-com that truly amazed me, as most of them follow the same old, predictable template. But when I heard that Picture This (2025) was coming out, starring Simone Ashley as the main lead, I was intrigued. I absolutely loved her in the Bridgerton series, and seeing her step into a rom-com role definitely caught my attention.
