If you never heard of the play “Cyrano de Bergerac” by Edmond Rostand, or the film Roxanne, it’s OK because Sierra Burgess Is A Loser stands on its own merits thanks to screenwriter Lindsey Beer. The film has everything you could want in a classic high school-esque rom-com: humor, wit, mean girls, awesome best friends, the quintessential “hot jock,” that amazingly supportive teacher who totally gets you, and, of course, a fantastic love story. For those of you who’ve watched (either at home or in the theater) some of the most phenomenal romantic comedies of the ‘80s like Sixteen Candles, Say Anything, Pretty In Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Better Off Dead, and so many more, you are going to fall in love with Sierra Burgess Is A Loser.
