Described as the 'rom-com for people who hate rom-coms', Netflix's latest original release, The Incredible Jessica James, follows the story of an aspiring, New York-based playwright who is recovering from a recent break-up.

Jessica James, played by name sake, Jessica Williams, is forced to go on a date with the recently divorced Boone (played by our very own Chris O'Dowd), and the pair discover how to navigate life post-breakup.

The film landed on Netflix's streaming service over the weekend and judging by the reviews so far, this is about to become one of our new found faves.

"Some people are born to be movie stars, and "The Incredible Jessica James" successfully makes that case for leading lady Jessica Williams." – Geoff Berkshire, Variety

"The Incredible Jessica James isn't reinventing the rom-com, but it doesn't need to. It's sweet, smart, and funny, and makes me want to see Jessica Williams star in all of the things." –  Erika W. Smith, Bust Magazine.

"O'Dowd and Williams play well off of each other, conveying the stages of a new relationship from awkward first date to first big fight with an easy and believable chemistry." –  Katie Rife, AV Club

Congratulations are in order for Irish comedian Chris O’Dowd and his wife Dawn O’Porter; they are expecting their second child together!

The brunette beauty announced the news at the end of her Get It On podcast, which she shared online yesterday.

She ended her podcast off with; “Hope your 2017 is going really well. Mine certainly is. I am starting a new novel this week, I’m about to turn 38 and I am pregnant.”

“So I’ll be investing in a lot of elasticated trousers and dusting off all my old vintage tents, not unlike a lot of people in January,” she laughed.

We're delighted that the family is adding to their brood!

Niall Horan and Chris O'Dowd appeared on The Graham Norton Show last night and possibly made it the most Irish show ever.

The banter was flying as Niall spoke about his new solo track and we'd also say Chris was well on his way to pint number three when the show began.

The singer spoke about his hometown Mullingar and how the guards still bring him home after a night out!

But, then something so beautifully Irish happened when Niall went up to perform This Town.

Yep, Chris gave him a right old slap on the arse, like something we'd all see on the side of a GAA pitch.

Ah lads, you made the show wonderful.

We certainly weren't expecting Chris O'Dowd's Ice Bucket nomination – but Dawn O'Porter was, and IS expecting! (See what we did there?! No? We'll see ourselves out…)

The Roscommon man took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and used the opportunity to announce the fantastic baby news by nominating ‘Baby O’Porter’.  He then turns the camera to Dawn who pours a glass of water over her baby bump, so there is absolutely no confusion – there IS a baby on the way! 

By the sounds of it he or she will be an O'Porter, rather than an O'Dowd – which makes sense seen as Dawn added the 'O' to her name as a way of recognising their union. And Chris has spoken out about how he'd like to be an O'Porter too!

"You know, I thought she was joking when she mentioned it at first. And then I just thought it was so cool. I mean she got a lot of stick for it in the UK. I think the people thought it was a silly celebrity thing or something.

"She's a feminist, so she didn't want to give her name away. But she also thought she wanted to take something of her husband's, you know, and the O is hugely meaningful. O only exists in Ireland. So you're taking on my nationality as part of your name. I found it very touching. I would have loved if we were both called O'Porter."

Awh – could he be any lovelier?! We bet he's going to be a great dad too!
