Trainwreck R 2015
Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)
Fortunately, smooth player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling) takes pity on Cal and coaches him up to survive in this modern dating world. Unfortunately, Jacob himself is catching serious feelings for Hannah (Emma Stone).
Trainwreck (2015)
Amy Schumer isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but Trainwreck is perhaps her most universally appealing offering. After a lifetime of being told by her dad that monogamy isn’t realistic, magazine writer Amy (Schumer) is leading an uninhibited life of screwing around and avoiding commitment.
But while she tells herself this is what she wants, she’s kind of in a rut. That tension ratchets up when she meets Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), the successful sports doctor (and friend of LeBron James) who is the subject of her newest piece.
Couples Retreat (2009)
This star-studded rom-com was a bit of a box-office and critical dud, but with Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Kristen Bell, Malin Akerman, and Kristin Davis, there’s a lot to like, at least from a talent perspective.
When four couples descend on a tropical island resort, it’s a bit awkward that one is actually there to work on their marriage while the others just want to have some fun. Unfortunately, couples therapy is mandatory, so what was supposed to be an amazing vacation turns into a symposium on all of their problems.
Murder Mystery (2019)
Unfortunately, Quince is quickly murdered aboard the ship, forcing the couple into the middle of a whodunit where they’re both the prime suspects and the lead investigators. There are now two Murder Mystery movies to keep you engaged in a more of a genre rom-com movie marathon.
The Holiday (2006)
A beloved Christmas rom-com, there’s no shame in enjoying The Holiday in the warmer months, too. When Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet) decide to swap homes (and countries) for the Christmas holiday after bad breakups, neither is expecting to find romance with a local man.
Yet, Amanda falls for Iris’s brother (Jude Law), and Iris falls for Amanda’s coworker (Jack Black), and suddenly, each is dreading their imminent return home.
50 First Dates (2004)
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have great chemistry in this rom-com about a woman with short-term memory loss. Henry (Sandler) is a player and fully prepared to put the moves on Lucy (Barrymore) until he realizes that she has a condition that causes her to forget and relive the same day again.
Henry soon finds he’s also falling in love with her, as he goes to increasingly great lengths to give her the most romantic day ever, day after day after day.
Spanglish (2004)
In this culture-clashing comedy, Paz Vega plays a Mexican immigrant and single mother, Flor Moreno, hired by the wealthy Clasky family as a housekeeper. But when Flor admits she can’t handle the demanding schedule because of her daughter, Deborah Clasky (Téa Leoni) decides both women should move into the family home.
Deborah and her husband John (Adam Sandler) have very different ideas than Flor on how to raise their children and run their family, and nobody expects the romantic sparks to fly.
The Wedding Planner (2001)
A great example of how twisted rom-coms used to be, The Wedding Planner stars Jennifer Lopez as Mary Fiore, San Francisco’s top wedding planner.
When she is rescued from an accident by the dashing pediatrician, Steve Edison (Matthew McConaughey), she’s immediately swept off her heels… only to realize that he’s the groom in her most recent booking. Mary gets to work dutifully, only to be forced into uncomfortable one-on-one situations that beg them to act on their mutual attraction.
Two Weeks Notice (2002)
Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock play their typecast rom-com odd couple selves in Two Weeks Notice. As part of a deal to preserve a local community center, environmental lawyer Lucy Kelson (Bullock) goes to work for billionaire George Wade (Grant).
Unfortunately, the indecisive and weak-willed George depends on Lucy for far more than just legal advice. When Lucy reaches the end of her rope, she hires June Carter (Alicia Witt) to replace her, only to realize during her two weeks’ notice that her feelings for George may be more than just professional.
13 Going on 30 (2004)
The movie that took Jennifer Garner from network TV star to household name, 13 Going on 30, is still a beloved fairy tale rom-com. Thirteen-year-old Jenna Brink is so over junior high. She can’t wait to grow up, find a boyfriend, and be a well-adjusted adult.
When Jenna wishes to become just that, she’s transformed overnight into a 30-year-old (Garner). Unfortunately, Jenna still has her teenage brain and finds that adulthood is not all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you’re a 13-year-old in a 30-year-old body.
Our Little Secret (2024)
Lindsay Lohan is back in the saddle and starring in Netflix rom-coms! Avery (Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding) were once an item, but things fizzled out in their relationship.
When Avery and Logan show up at Christmas and discover that their new significant others are siblings, they decide to play it cool and pretend they don’t know each other. Keeping their romantic history secret, however, proves difficult as each is more resentful about the breakup than they previously realized.

r 94m Genre Romance, Drama Stars Laura Dern, Liam Hemsworth, Diana Silvers Directed by Susannah Grant Watch on Netflix Laura Dern (Big Little Lies, Jurassic Park) and Liam Hemsworth star in this Netflix original rom-com as an intergenerational pair who can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. When a reclusive novelist (Dern) arrives at a prestigious writer’s retreat in Morocco, she hopes the remote setting will help her shake writer’s block. When she befriends a young man (Hemsworth), she soon gets far more than she bargained for in the form of inspiration and a life-altering affair. Anyone But You (2023)
Two of the biggest young stars in Hollywood team up in this rom-com about the seemingly perfect couple who actually kind of hate each other. Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Twisters star Glen Powell) have a fiery first date, but that initial attraction quickly turns to icy friction. Unfortunately, when they find themselves at the same destination wedding in Australia, single and under the microscope, they decide to behave like rational adults and pretend to be dating. What starts as a ruse turns into something more, but will Bea and Ben realize their attraction to each other is real before it’s too late?

Hoppers has hopped its way into theaters, with Pixar giving us another animated wonder. Directed by Daniel Chong (We Bare Bears) and written by Jesse Andrews (Luca), Hoppers centers around the animal-loving Mabel (Piper Curda), who transfers her mind into a robot beaver and rallies the animals at her favorite glade to protect it from being bulldozed and turned into a freeway.
While Pixar has struggled to succeed with non-sequel projects in recent years, the studio's latest film demands to be seen. With its delightful characters, vibrant visuals, and clever writing, Hoppers delivers a fresh, funny, and thought-provoking feature for the whole family.

This is one of those simple deals that’s hard to argue with. The Roku Streaming Stick HD is down to $15.99 from $29.99. If you’ve got an older TV in a bedroom, kitchen, dorm, or guest room that’s missing apps (or just runs painfully slow), this is the quick fix. You plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’ve got a modern streaming setup without buying a whole new TV.
It’s also a great “keep in a drawer” gadget. If you travel, bounce between rentals, or visit family and end up stuck with a clunky TV interface, a cheap Roku stick can save the night.
