Romantic comedies are a tried and true genre in the film world, and folks with an Amazon Prime subscription were recently treated to a new addition with Linda Mendoza's Relationship Goals. It remains to be seen if that project joins the ranks of the best rom-coms of all time, but with a strong cast led by Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland, I have to assume it's getting plenty of streams. Although there's one aspect of this movie that I wish I knew before pressing play.
Relationship Goals was billed as a regular rom-com, but it's actually a book to screen adaptation. The movie is based off Relationship Goals: How to Win at Dating, Marriage, and Sex, written by Pastor Michael Todd. And I was totally taken off guard by just how much Christian messaging was in the project. Let's break it all down.
