Stuck in Love is a sweet rom-com about a family of writers, one of whom gets a flattering phone call from Stephen King himself.
The Big Picture Horror author Stephen King has provided the source material for some of the most riveting films of the past 40 years. The Shining, The Green Mile, Carrie, Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption, and It among many other modern cinematic classics are all based on King's written works. In some of the adaptations of his books, King even graces the silver screen with a cameo. On occasion, he'll even play himself in projects beyond his own bibliography.
A budding sci-fi and horror writer himself, Rusty naturally idolizes Stephen King as his favorite author. Later in the movie, he gives his girlfriend, Kate , a copy of It, which he claims is his favorite book. Meanwhile, he and Samantha repeatedly disagree over King's place in the literary world, with Rusty defending the horror icon while Samantha seems dismissive of his pop-lit body of work.
While hearing King's voice is exciting, the substance of his phone call also fulfills the narrative purpose. Complimenting Samantha's achievements at the film's beginning, Rusty is now the one on his way to becoming a published author. Not only is his story in the hands of a King publisher as Rusty always dreamed, but it has been read and applauded by King himself. It is Rusty's triumph, bringing him out of his third-act depressive slump for a resolution.
