WHY CAN'T MY LIFE BE A ROM-COM? (E)
BROADCAST HISTORY:
2/19/23
STATUS:
telefilm/mini-series in the can
DESCRIPTION:
(from E!'s press release, January 2023) Eliza is smart and independent, but after years of bad boyfriends she finds herself newly single, jobless and questioning all of her decisions. Throwing caution to the wind, Eliza follows best friend Sofia to the Hamptons and decides to change her approach to romance. They're going to follow the rules of dating from a 50-year-old self-help book. The book seemingly works and Eliza finds herself in the center of a love triangle between Rich, a perfect doctor, and Doug, the towel boy at a Hampton's hotel. Torn between two very different but equally viable suitors, Eliza realizes that deep at heart, she's really a 1980s John Hughes heroine.
