Romance

People We Meet on Vacation is a great rendition of the romance formula as Poppy and Alex figure out what they mean to each other over many summers.

My Secret Santa is everything you’d expect from its premise, yet it is still surprisingly delightful, paving the way for comfort viewing.

Eternity (2025) has the unique visuals, committed lead performances, and genuine feeling to make up for its lacking love triangle.

Even with its delicious tropes and inevitable end, Champagne Problems (2025) infuses a bubbly sweetness that never feels overbearing.

Despite its overt holiday aesthetic and joyfully dedicated cast, A Merry Little Ex-Mas ends up as a merry little frustration.

Mango (2025) is a typical rom-com about a workaholic mom who falls in love with the mango farmer she’s supposed to convince to sell his land.

Less comfort viewing and more background noise, Joy To The World (2025) starts the 2025 holiday movie season on a forgettable note. 

If there’s ever a feel-good, slowburn romance to add to your watchlist, it should be the latest Netflix series, Romantics Anonymous.

In French Lover, an actor falls in love with a woman who doesn’t know if she can handle his fame as their charm helps overcome rom-com contrivance.

She Said Maybe is a mess of a rom-com with leads you can’t root for and a cast of malicious characters you have to tolerate for little payoff.
