Like the 1987 film Roxanne, #Roxy is also a modern retelling of Edmond Rostand's 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac.

Cyrus' cousin Bronwyn encourages him to confess his feelings to Roxy, his longtime crush, but he fears rejection from her due to his nose.

However, even if he tries to hide behind his bold exterior, Cyrus is insecure about his nose and cares a great deal what other people think.

[1] Scott Hayes of StAlbertToday.ca rated #Roxy four stars and wrote, "Overall, it's an impressive production, with Michael Kennedy's proficient directing, Tony Binns' fun and winning script, and the cast of younger players who all held up their ends with totally professional portrayals of their characters.

"[4] Movie Nation critic Roger Moore gave the film two-and-a-half out of four, dubbing it a "flip and funny rom-com" and praising Binns's screenplay, while concluding, "#Roxy hews a little too closely to the original Cyrano when it reaches a moment of violence and goes on and on beyond that in attempt to find a payoff.
