It Had to Be You (2000): A Rom-Com Time Capsule?

Remember dial-up internet and the dawn of the new millennium? Let's rewind to 2000 and revisit the romantic comedy, 'It Had to Be You,' starring Jennifer Beals and Michael Weatherly. This isn't your typical blockbuster, but a charming indie flick that captures the anxieties and aspirations of Y2K.

Beals plays a commitment-phobic woman who finds herself unexpectedly engaged, while Weatherly embodies a charming, free-spirited artist who throws her carefully constructed world into delightful chaos. The film explores the familiar trope of choosing between stability and passion, but with a quirky, low-key vibe that sets it apart.

While 'It Had to Be You' might not be on everyone's radar, it's a worthwhile watch for those seeking a nostalgic rom-com experience. It offers a glimpse into the relationship dynamics of a pre-social media era, and the performances are genuinely engaging. So, dust off your old DVD player (or stream it if you can find it!) and prepare for a lighthearted journey back to the year 2000.
