One of the better rom-coms of the 2010s, Crazy, Stupid, Love boasts an all-star cast and a refreshingly creative story, even if it does all amount to a fairly familiar ending. Steve Carell plays Cal Weaver, a white-collar guy living the seemingly perfect life with a big house, a beautiful wife, and great children. But when he discovers his wife (Julianne Moore) has been unfaithful and wants a divorce, Cal goes a bit off the deep end, crashing and burning into the dating pool.

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).

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.

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.

When a chance meeting on the flight gets them invited onto the superyacht of elderly billionaire Malcolm Quince, they think they’ve hit the vacation jackpot.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Glen Powell stars as Gary, a guy who really leans into his role until he meets Madison (Adria Arjona), a woman who wants to hire someone to kill her abusive husband.

A list of the best romantic comedies would never be complete without at least one teen rom-com on the list, and The Kissing Booth is a good fit. Joey King stars as Elle, a teenager who finds herself in a pickle when she begins a romance with her best friend’s popular, bad boy older brother, played by Priscilla’s Jacob Elordi. Spawning two sequels, it’s a heavily clichéd story, but that’s precisely what makes The Kissing Booth the perfectly predictable movie to watch when you’re in the mood, provided you go into it with the right expectations.

Long Story Short hails from Australia, and it tells the story of Teddy (Rafe Spall), a man who wakes up after his wedding to discover that time is moving at a rapid pace: A year has already passed, and every minute, another year goes by. Confused and shocked, he discovers that time isn’t moving as fast for anyone else he interacts with. While Teddy and his best friend concoct a plan to ensure he has a “perfect day” to try and break the curse, Teddy learns of growing troubles in his marriage down the road that make this difficult to accomplish. Long Story Short is predictable and repetitive, but the clever premise and moral lessons about focusing on what matters make for a fun watch.

The third and final entry in Netflix’s hit To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy is a bit more grown-up than the first two. It makes sense, considering the characters are growing up, about to leave high school, and making the first truly major decisions of their lives. Lara Jean (Lana Condor) is back from a family trip to Korea that has inspired her to think a bit more broadly about her future. That means making college plans — with or without beau Peter (Noah Centineo).

But Centineo takes the leading role in The Perfect Date as Brooks Rattigan, a high school student who is desperate to get into Yale. With the help of his friends, Murph (Odiseas Georgiadis) and Celia Lieberman (Laura Marano), Brooks launches an app that lets him hire himself out as the perfect plus-one to any female companion. He also pursues Celia’s rich cousin, Shelby Pace (Camila Mendes), while crossing some moral lines that ultimately force him to question who he is becoming.

We would not be surprised if there is an eventual English language remake of the French comedy, I Am Not an Easy Man. In the meantime, this is an ideal example of why subtitles were invented. Vincent Elbaz stars in the film as Damien, an unapologetic womanizer. However, a head injury lands Damien in a world that he barely recognizes. In this apparent alternate universe, women have all of the power, and Damien is routinely mocked and sexually harassed by the opposite sex. The lone bright spot is a novelist named Alexandra (Marie-Sophie Ferdane), because she and Damien may be kindred spirits.

In this case, Leah Lewis (Ellie Chu) plays the Cyrano role, as she reluctantly agrees to help Paul Munsky (Daniel Diemer) pursue the girl of his dreams, Aster Flores (Alexxis Lemire). The problem is that Aster is already the girl of Leah’s dreams. But to make ends meet, Leah agrees to coach Paul so he can get closer to Aster. Of course, Paul and Leah get close as well. But the film never loses sight of who Leah really wants to be with, or what she wants out of life. Leah can’t get everything she desires, but she does have a transformative experience that allows her to grow and become the person she was always meant to be.

Getting decent reviews since it was released in late May, this film stars Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani as a couple on the brink of breakup. After they witness a murder, they decide to go on the run to avoid being blamed for something they didn’t do. Forced to stay together under such unexpected circumstances, they begin to reconnect in new ways. The two stars are lauded for their performances and chemistry. As a follow-up to The Big Sick, which got rave reviews, this isn’t director Michael Showalter’s best project (he did, after all, co-create the Wet Hot American Summer franchise). But it’s a worthy watch for a fresh and modern take on the typical rom-com.

On the verge of a cross-country move, Jenny Young (Gina Rodriguez) is blindsided when her longtime boyfriend, Nate Davis (Lakeith Stanfield) breaks up with her. Distraught, Jenny turns to her best gal pals, Blair Helms (Brittany Snow) and Erin Kennedy (DeWanda Wise); both of whom have troubled romantic entanglements of their own. To complicate matters, Jenny can’t seem to escape Nate’s shadow. Jenny has to determine if she even wants Nate back. But it’s the friendship between the three women that really turns this film into an uplifting story.

Will they finally realize they’re meant for one another? The film has been almost universally liked, and praised for its ability to layer typical rom-com tropes with “smart social commentary.”

Did you know that Netflix actually has a hidden gem category that's searchable on the site? It's true, but the streamer's definition of a hidden gem doesn't necessarily line up with our own. For the purposes of this ongoing post, we take the time to throw the spotlight on some of Netflix's shows that aren't getting the attention they deserve. Most of the time, there are plenty of dramas or comedies to choose from.
But in the absence of any worthy scripted hidden gems this month, we're turning our attention to a pair of recently arrived Netflix original documentaries: Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn's Treasure and the provocatively named From Rock Star To Killer. Keep reading, and you'll find more shows off the beaten path among the best hidden gems on Netflix.

The best sci-fi movies on Hulu right now
Sadie Sink in O'Dessa.

Sci-fi fans, is it fair for Hulu to take away all of the Alien and Predator movies for a few months and then trot them back out as if they're fresh additions to the library? Those films should have permanent places among the best sci-fi movies on Hulu, rather than seasonal passes.
Before we eventually readmit some of those films to this roundup, we're throwing the spotlight on a new arrival called O'Dessa, starring Sadie Sink, who was recently cast in the next Spider-Man film. Our other pick for the month is The Prestige, which does veer into science fiction territory in a uniquely entertaining way. You can find these films and the rest of the best sci-fi movies on Hulu below.
If you're curious about what's available in science fiction on other streaming services, we also have guides for the best sci-fi movies on Netflix, as well as the best sci-fi movies on Amazon Prime Video. For more options, check out guides for the best new movies to stream and the best movies on Hulu.

If you're looking for more films to watch, remember that Hulu is part of the Disney Bundle. That includes the basic Hulu subscription (with ads), Disney+, and ESPN+, all for just $17 a month. That's a great deal, and you don't even have to travel to the future for it.
