With Greenberg, writer and director Noah Baumbach delivers a grounded slice-of-life story about a neurotic man who has to learn to embrace the world around him. The film is based on a story originally co-written by Baumbach with his then-wife, Jennifer Jason Leigh. The movie stars Ben Stiller (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) as the titular Roger Greenberg, who’s brought to Los Angeles by his brother after being released from a mental hospital, and he hates everything about the situation. The only saving grace he has is his reluctant connection to a woman named Florence, played by Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha), who sees through his abrasive exterior to the hurting man inside.

Greenberg is a spectacular showcase for Stiller as he dives deep into a troubled and often unlikable character to give a nuanced and engaging performance. The film had its world premiere at the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival. Though the movie didn’t do too well at the box office, it was critically acclaimed and received numerous accolades.

Adapting the popular novel by Katherine Center, Vicky Wight’s Happiness For Beginners is a movie that reminds us that it’s never too late to rediscover and redefine who we are. Ellie Kemper (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) plays Helen, a recent divorcée who decides to join a survivalist hike along the Appalachian Trail in an attempt to become someone other than the lonely woman she sees in the mirror. On the trip, she reconnects with an old friend of her brother’s (played by Luke Grimes), who gives her a new perspective on the way she wants to live her life.

While the film received a mixed response from critics, this romantic comedy is very cute, and Kemper and Grimes have such easy yet electric chemistry on screen, it sucks you in instantly. Happiness for Beginners is carried by that chemistry and the performances of the whole cast. If nothing else, this movie is worth watching if you’d like to see Ellie Kemper take on a role that’s drastically different from the cheerful, bright-eyed young women she usually plays.

Written by and starring comedian Iliza Shlesinger, Good on Paper is a romantic comedy about a stand-up comic named Andrea (Shlesinger) who meets Dennis (Ryan Hansen), a man who seems to check all her boxes.

The story transitions well from a comedy routine to the screen by embracing the unconventional and finding humor in heartbreak and discomfort. Though critical reception to Good on Paper has been mixed, the unconventional plot and genre-breaking elements make it an entertaining watch.

Based on the novel by Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing offers some mystery and thriller aspects along with the romance. The movie follows the story of a girl named Kya (Daisy Edgar-Jones) from childhood to young adulthood. Neglected yet determined, Kya raises herself in a poor North Carolina marshland. When a prominent local man is found dead, however, Kya finds herself the prime suspect and is tried for his murder. She also finds herself in a love triangle with the town’s golden boy, Chase (Harris Dickinson), and the supportive Tate (Taylor John Smith). This fascinating book-to-screen movie was directed by Olivia Newman and written by Lucy Alibar.

Where the Crawdads Sing is a great example of a movie that was more successful with audiences than critics. Despite generally negative reviews, the film was well-received by moviegoers and grossed far more at the box office than anyone expected. With beautiful cinematography and a compelling story, Where the Crawdads Sing is a solid romance with a dark twist.

Emma Roberts (American Horror Story) stars alongside Luke Bracey (Elvis) in the Netflix original holiday rom-com Holidate, directed by John Whitesell and written by Tiffany Paulsen. The movie is centered on Sloane Benson (Roberts), who strikes a deal with Jackson (Bracey) to be each other’s holiday dates — without getting into a romantic relationship. As you might expect, this “perfect plan” falls apart when Sloane starts yearning for more. Besides its two talented leads, Holidate also features a stellar supporting cast that includes the likes of Jake Manley (The Order), Jessica Capshaw (Grey’s Anatomy), and the incomparable Kristin Chenoweth (Schmigadoon!).

A classic romantic comedy to the core, Holidate brilliantly balances hilarity with heartwarming moments, proving itself an adorable movie that charmingly exposes the familial and societal pressures that come with being single. Through a delightful journey of finding love, Holidate builds on the iconic and often cringe-worthy holiday movie tropes, allowing the two single strangers at the heart of the movie to find unexpected attraction and genuine chemistry.

An indie rom-com written and directed by James C. Strouse, The Incredible Jessica James follows the fiercely independent title character as she navigates life after a breakup. An aspiring playwright living in New York City, Jessica James is trying (and failing) to get over her ex when she ends up on a blind date with a recent divorcé. Despite an awkward start, they end up hitting it off and set out to make their way through the post-breakup world together as best they can. The movie features the iconic Jessica Williams in the lead role and boasts an ensemble supporting cast that includes Chris O'Dowd, Noël Wells, and Lakeith Stanfield.

Sexy, funny, and decidedly modern, The Incredible Jessica James is a refreshing spin on the rom-com that doesn’t pander to the lowest common denominator, and it received a lot of praise from critics for doing just that. The film was Jessica Williams’ first leading role after her tenure on The Daily Show, and she lights up the screen. Now, the character of Jessica James may not be quite as incredible as the title leads you to believe — she’s pretty selfish and naive — but she’s passionate, raw, and ambitious, and Williams makes you love her despite her faults. A supporting performance from the constantly charming Chris O’Dowd certainly doesn’t hurt, and the two have electric chemistry as they try to navigate the waters of heartbreak together toward something healthy and new.
