1. These are both relatively light comedies with central romatic themes 

2. Both are based within the realm of 'show biz' and the pressures that come with this and struggles with being seen by the public eye

3. Both have centrall plot points around keeping romantic secrets, mutual awkwardness and comedic miscommunications and mishaps
