Release Year: 2019
Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson
Starring Gina Rodriguez, Brittany Snow, DeWanda Wise and Lakeith Stanfield
Someone Great tells the story of Jenny, played by Gina Rodriguez, who lives in New York City and has since college. In college, she met her boyfriend, Nate, played by Lakeith Stanfield, and they have dated for the last nine years. When Jenny gets her dream job in San Francisco, Nate breaks up with her. Jenny’s best friends, played by DeWanda Wise and Brittany Snow, take her out for one more fun night before she moves away.
The Netflix original film premiered on Netflix in May, and it had to be one of the most-watched new movies of the month on the streaming service. This cast is so good! And, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson delivers on a great story.
Someone Great might not be for everyone, but it’s one of the best romantic comedies available on Netflix. It’s funny most of the time, and it has these really emotional moments that actually hit hard. It’s not always like that with new rom-coms, so make sure you check this movie out!
