But her best friend, Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), repeatedly proves that there’s still further to fall. Shelly also makes an attempt to reconnect with her estranged daughter, Hannah Gardner (Billie Lourd), but that’s just one in a long line of relationships that Shelly torched in favor of the show.

Teenager Lori Granger (India Fowler) is the focus here, and she’s tired of being a social outcast because everyone thinks her mother murdered her dad.

Lori is out to change everything by earning the prom queen title, even though her rival, Tiffany Falconer (Fina Strazza), isn’t going to simply let Lori take it from her. However, these young ladies have a much bigger problem than each other. A masked serial killer is methodically taking out victims at the prom, and at the rate things are going, either Lori or Tiffany could be next on the hit list.

The biggest box office flop of the year and one of the biggest ever, Better Man, grossed just over $20 million worldwide against a $110 million budget. The extraordinary loss is much more on marketing failures, however, than on the actual quality of the movie, which has received good reviews. Based on British pop star Robbie Williams’ rise, fall, and resurgence, Williams made the somewhat bizarre call to cast himself as a CGI monkey in the largely autobiographical film.

While the film is about the challenges of fame and success, the greatest irony is that Williams was nowhere near a big enough star to make a film like this in the first place.

Lucy Hale in The Hating Game.

Romance movies come in many shapes, sizes, and genres. But if Netflix is a barometer of what people really want out of their romance movies, then rom-coms are by far the most popular selection. That's why it shouldn't surprise you too much that a 23-year-old rom-com called Life or Something Like It has found a second life as the No. 1 movie on Netflix. Having Angelina Jolie and Edward Burns in the two leading roles may have had something to do with that.
Similarly, a more recent Netflix original rom-com, The Hating Game, has also proven to be very popular. Maybe the secret behind the collective success of these films is that everyone kind of knows the ending going in. After all, watching movies about heartbreak and dying alone just isn't as much fun. You can find these films and the rest of the best romance movies on Netflix below.
