"Someone Marry Barry" fits squarely within the romantic comedy genre, incorporating classic elements such as a group of friends involved in matchmaking, social awkwardness as a source of humor, and the search for love amidst comedic mishaps. Typical elements include the dynamic between good-natured but socially inept Barry (played by Tyler Labine), the efforts of his friends, and the romantic misadventures that ensue. What sets this film apart from other comedies is its focus on embracing quirks and imperfections, ultimately celebrating unconventional love by finding a partner 'just like him,' rather than trying to change Barry. The film balances heartfelt moments with laugh-out-loud scenarios, led by strong performances including Damon Wayans Jr. as Desmond, adding depth and charm beyond standard comedic tropes.
