Things Like This comes to digital platforms today and fans can enjoy their new favorite romantic comedy at home. Max Talisman’s latest film stars the writer and director opposite Joe Pollari. When chance brings a struggling writer and a talent agency assistant together, could this be the chance at love they’ve both been looking for? Fate seems like it could really be at work in Things Like This. 

This movie was a big hit with romantic comedy fans earlier this year. Pride Month is here and Shout! Studios wanted to make sure to celebrate the occasion with Things Like This. DVD and Blu-ray releases are coming on July 17. People can use the digital marketplace of their choice to see what all the hubbub is about. Our critic, Rachel Tolleson, enjoyed the movie and noted how fresh it felt in her review!

“If you like a feel-good, find-yourself-and-fall-in-love story about two cynics, then Things Like This is for you,” Tolleson explained. “Talisman created a wonderful addition to the stacked catalogue of rom-coms, and it is a film where you can feel how much care went into creating it.”
