Rom-coms are the perfect movies to watch in the summer. The stakes are low, while the vibes are high. Plus, the locations are exquisite. Look at Anyone But You, a delightful romantic comedy starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Two beautiful people falling in love on the beaches of Australia sounds like a good time.

Netflix offers some of the best rom-coms on streaming. Below, we have curated a list of three rom-coms to watch this June. All three can be streamed right now. Our selections include a romance involving the songs of the Beatles, a mother-daughter wedding adventure, and a love triangle at a tropical resort.

Yesterday (2019)

Danny Boyle’s Yesterday has a genius premise: What if only one person in the world knew the music of the Beatles? That lucky person is Jack Malik (Himesh Patel), a struggling singer-songwriter who dreams of becoming a famous musician. After he’s hit by a bus during a global power failure, Jack quickly recovers and eventually plays a beautiful rendition of Yesterday by the Beatles. To his dismay, Jack’s friends believe he wrote the song, not John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The Beatles don’t exist post-blackout.

However, Jack still knows the words to every Beatles song. With this knowledge, Jack becomes an overnight sensation and an instant celebrity. Yet fame and fortune are not all that great if you can’t share them with the person you love, a lesson Jack slowly learns. Even if you’re not the biggest Beatles fan, Yesterday is still a fun and charming rom-com with good chemistry between the leads and enjoyable music.

Mother of the Bride (2024)

Weddings are always a good backdrop for a rom-com. They are usually depicted in a church. However, Mother of the Bride sets the altar on the beautiful beaches of Thailand. Brooke Shields stars as Lana Winslow, a widow and mother to Emma Winslow (Miranda Cosgrove). When Emma returns from working in London, she surprises Lana with news of her engagement to her boyfriend, RJ (Sean Teale).

Lana has no time to process the information because the wedding is one month away in Thailand. Like all good mothers, Lana eventually supports her daughter and agrees to attend the wedding. If you thought a wedding in a tropical location would run smoothly, you’re wrong. Lana learns that RJ is the son of Will Jackson (Benjamin Bratt), her ex-boyfriend who broke her heart. It sounds like a disaster for Lana, but who knows? Maybe love is in the air for these former flames.

Resort to Love (2021)

There is a special collection of Netflix original rom-coms that resemble Hallmark movies in all the best ways. They usually involve a protagonist who struggles to get over a past relationship. This protagonist then travels to another location to escape their problems, but the drama somehow finds a way to persist upon arrival. Then, they meet someone, forcing them to reexamine their feelings and see if they’re ready for love.

That’s the plot of Resort to Love in a nutshell. Erica Wilson (Christina Milian) is a pop star searching for her big break. Erica is still not over Jason (Jay Pharoah), her ex-fiance of four years. In need of a change of scenery, Erica becomes an entertainer at a beautiful island resort. Remember how drama always finds the protagonist? One of Erica’s first gigs is to sing at the wedding of Jason and his new bride-to-be, Beverly (Christiani Pitts). Down but not out, Erica finds solace in Jason’s brother, Caleb (Sinqua Walls). Will this newfound relationship lead to something meaningful, or is Erica still not over Jason?

Alyssa Goeckner’s The Song Of The Universe explores music as a deep cinematic experience
Featuring 15 songs on the soundtrack, The Song Of The Universe will be told across 20 episodes as part of the first season.
Still from The Song Of The Universe.

Alyssa Goeckner has given nearly two decades to the music industry, working with artists like Steve Aoki and Afrojack, and releasing music under Sony and Universal, among other labels. As a singer, songwriter, producer, director, and original-IP creator, her work has appeared on Billboard charts under the names Miss Palmer and Bishøp over the years. Her next endeavor is her most exciting yet, and it fundamentally shifts how music can transcend the medium and evolve into a cinematic experience with deep visual storytelling.

The Song Of The Universe is the latest project from Bishøp, which keeps music as the central theme of a multi-episode cinematic story that revolves around her as the eponymous character, fighting to restore the balance of light against the forces of darkness.

Dark Matter Season 2’s world without the internet isn’t as dystopian as it sounds
Head, Person, Face

A world without the internet would ordinarily rank pretty low among the alternate realities most people would willingly choose to live in. For Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton), his wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), and their son Charlie, however, it may be exactly what they need. After everything the family has been through, they aren't looking for a better life anymore. They need a life that is harder to find.

Season 2 has put the Dessens in an unusual position. Jason spent most of the first season trying to get back to Daniela and Charlie after Jason2 stole his life, travelling through the Box and encountering more versions of himself along the way. He finally got his family back, only for the danger to follow them. After taking on new identities and moving to another reality, seven months of relative safety ended when another Jason found them.

Amazon Prime Video’s latest trick is natural lip-sync for dubbed audio
At last, translated audio will look natural on the actors' faces. And yeah, AI is involved.
Amazon Prime Video lip-sync technology

I have watched plenty of stuff on streaming platforms where the translated audio doesn't feel natural on the faces of the actors appearing on the screen. It just looks odd and takes away the fun from watching dubbed films and TV shows. I would prefer to watch content with the original audio and see the translated captions, rather than deal with the asynchrony between the audio and facial expressions. Amazon finally has a solution.

The company is launching a new lip-sync technology on Prime Video that will use AI and VFX to sync the lip movement of actors so that they appear to naturally speak the dialog, even if it has been translated and dubbed from another language. The technology is making its debut with the first and second seasons of Maxton Hall, and will also be used when the third season premieres on the platform.
