"Love, ___" (2014 rom-com starring Lily Collins)

Answer:

ROSIE

Hint:

This film adaptation of Cecelia Ahern’s novel follows a lifelong friendship turned romance between two childhood pen pals from Ireland and America. The title character shares her name with a classic WWII-era symbol.

Explanation:

This clue references the 2014 romantic comedy Love, Rosie, where Lily Collins plays the lead role of Rosie Dunne. The comma in the title hints that the answer is a name, and since the movie’s full title is Love, Rosie, the blank simply fills in "Rosie." It’s a straightforward fill-in-the-blank based on the film’s well-known title.
