Pretty Woman
From beginning to end, Pretty Woman is a joy ride through romance, comedy and some surprising grit.
High Fidelity
High Fidelity is a fantastic, fun film. It’s a love letter to anyone who adores art and loves talking about art.
The 40-Year-old Virgin
Much of the The 40-Year-Old Virgin's success comes from Steve Carell's outstanding performance, supported by an equally stellar ensemble cast.
Bull Durham
There is magic in Bull Durham. It thrives on memorable characters and dynamic scenes that draw you in every time.
Isn’t It Romantic
Isn't It Romantic delivers exactly what you’d expect—a fun, light-hearted romp that cleverly pokes fun at rom-com clichés while letting Rebel Wilson shine.
Sweet Home Alabama
Sweet Home Alabama gradually won me over with a slow burn that eventually ignited into a warm, entertaining narrative, blending humor with cultural clashes.
The Big Sick
The Big Sick sets itself apart from typical romantic comedies by delving into not just the blossoming love between two individuals, but also the profound impact it has on every aspect of their lives.
Moonstruck
Moonstruck, with its unabashed adoration for romance, insists that love conquers all. Yet, as I watched, I found myself questioning the overwhelming praise it garnered upon its release.
Bridget Jones’s Diary
It took me a bit to settle into the vibe of Bridget Jones's Diary. I enjoyed seeing the twist of the main character in the genre, but I never completely invested in the love triangle that dominates this film.
Something’s Gotta Give
As I am growing older, I think I'm becoming a sucker more and more for the world of Nancy Meyers. I was completely charmed and immersed in this story.
My Best Friend’s Wedding
Something felt off to me while watching My Best Friend's Wedding (yes, for the first time). I appreciated the story that it set out to tell, but tonally the pieces weren't fitting together.
The Wedding Singer
Amazing soundtrack, cute leads, a screaming Sandler, cheap ‘80s references, quotable lines. What's not to love about The Wedding Singer?
You’ve Got Mail
How can you not get sucked into the charm and whimsy of 'You've Got Mail?' Like Kathleen Kelly's bookshop and the coffee shops these "nemesis" frequent, this film is completely warm and comfortable.
Anyone But You
There are a lot of nonsensical things that happen in Anyone But You, even by rom-com standards, but that didn't keep me from having a good time.
Dan in Real Life
Dan in Real Life is a great, sweet film that should appeal to everyone. The performances are very down-to-earth, and although the plot becomes predictable, it plays out in a naturalistic way.
Runaway Bride
This is not nearly Garry Marshall's best film, nor is it his worst. But you can't help but feel like he let Richard Gere and Roberts do all the heavy lifting.
The American President
It could be easy to get wrapped up in the implausibility of The American President's story, but Aaron Sorkin's script paints a beautiful fairy tale with a behind-the-scenes look of politics as the driving force.
Some Kind of Wonderful
Some Kind of Wonderful would be a whole lot better if Eric Stoltz was interesting in the slightest.
Happiness for Beginners
Netflix's original films tend to verge into Hallmark movie territory and Happiness for Beginners is a shining example of that. It has recognizable, good talent, with a solid premise, yet takes the easy road in simplifying the feelings it wants to invoke.
