Always Be My Maybe (2019)

  • Directed by: Nahnatchka Khan
  • Written by: Randall Park, Ali Wong, and Michael Golamco
  • Cast: Park, Wong, James Saito, Michelle Buteau, Vivian Bang, Daniel Dae Kim, Keanu Reeves

Always Be My Maybe is exactly the movie you didn’t know you desperately needed in your life. It’s funny, it’s awkward, it’s heart-melting, and it somehow manages to hit all the right notes without ever feeling cheesy. Many of us have either had a childhood friend we secretly liked, a crush that got away, or someone who just knew us better than anyone else, and Always Be My Maybe captures all of that perfectly.

Childhood friends Sasha and Marcus were inseparable growing up in San Francisco until a heartbreak and a falling out sent them drifting apart for over 15 years. Fast forward to adulthood, and Sasha is now a glamorous celebrity chef living her dream in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Marcus is still in San Francisco, comfortably playing in his struggling local band and living a quieter, simpler life.

When fate brings them back together, hilariously awkward reunions, unexpected sparks, and old feelings resurface, forcing them to confront what went wrong, what they’ve been missing, and whether some connections are too strong to ever really fade.

Set It Up (2018)

  • Directed by: Claire Scanlon
  • Written by: Katie Silberman
  • Cast: Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Taye Diggs, Lucy Liu

Set It Up is a total delight from start to finish, and honestly, it might just ruin every other rom-com for you. You’ve got Harper and Charlie, two overworked assistants in New York City, stuck with bosses who are basically human tornadoes of stress and micro-management. And instead of crying into their coffee like normal adults, they come up with the most ridiculous, genius plan ever.

They decide to play matchmaker for their impossible bosses, hoping that if Kirsten and Rick fall for each other, they’ll finally get some breathing room. It’s absurd, it’s clever, and it sets the stage for chaos, awkward encounters, and laugh-out-loud moments. Overall, Set It Up is a rom-com that’ll leave you grinning, swooning, and already thinking about your next rewatch.

Love at First Sight

Love at First Sight (2023)

  • Directed by: Vanessa Caswill
  • Written by: Katie Lovejoy
  • Cast: Haley Lu Richardson, Ben Hardy, Jameela Jamil, Rob Delaney, Sally Phillips, Dexter Fletcher
  • Based on: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

Airports, missed flights, long plane rides, and a chance encounter that sparks instant chemistry, Love at First Sight is pure rom-com magic from the very beginning. It all kicks off at JFK Airport, where Hadley Sullivan, a slightly frazzled 20-year-old, is scrambling to catch a flight to London for her father’s wedding.

Enter Oliver Jones, a charming, slightly nerdy British guy who’s also heading across the pond. One borrowed phone charger later, and these two complete strangers are talking, laughing, and teasing each other like they’ve known each other forever. Once they’re finally on the plane together, the sparks really start to fly.

But of course, life isn’t that simple. When the plane lands in London, fate throws a curveball. Hadley and Oliver get separated in the chaos of the airport, her phone dies, and suddenly this perfect, cinematic connection seems like it might vanish before it even has a chance to bloom. But sometimes, fate has other plans, and Hadley and Oliver soon discover that some connections are just too special to let slip away.

All three of these amazing Netflix movies are available to stream right now.
