Breakups are hard, but moving on from them is harder. Unwilling to move on after their mutual dumping, Peter (Charlie Day) and Emma (Jenny Slate) decide to come together to help each other get their respective exes back. The plan: Emma is going to seduce Peter's ex Anne's (Gina Rodriguez) new boyfriend, Logan (Manny Jacinto), while Peter is going to friend-seduce Emma's ex Noah (Scott Eastwood) to break him up with his new girlfriend Ginny (Clark Backo). Of course, in the process of coming up for and planning this plan, Emma and Peter get to know each other and unwittingly develop feelings for each other. Hijinks and shenanigans ensue as the two try and execute their plan, but, without spoilers, it's safe to say that in the end, everyone ends up exactly where they are best suited. — Therese Lacson

Inspired by a true story, this Audrey Shulman-written rom-com, based on her own novel of the same name, follows two best friends, Corinne (Odessa A’zion) and Jane (Yara Shahidi), whose unbreakable bond faces its toughest test after Corinne is diagnosed with brain cancer. What begins as a carefree, run-of-the-mill chick-flick soon finds its emotional core, with an often tear-jerking narrative spine gently guiding the viewer by the hand into the film’s darker themes. A tale of friendship and passion, the film is catapulted into orbit by the perfect chemistry between A’zion and Shahidi, with the direction of Trish Sie managing to capture the twinkle in both women’s performances. Sensitive and funny, Sitting in Bars with Cake is certainly one to watch. - Jake Hodges

Red, White & Royal Blue is a traditional romantic comedy that turns traditions on its head. Director Matthew López adorably adapts the New York Times bestseller into an undeniably cute film starring Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex, the American president’s rough-around-the-edges son, and Nicholas Galitzine as Britain’s Prince Henry. The two young royals threaten to cause problems between the countries before agreeing to an armistice, ultimately resulting in unexpected feelings between the two. Narrated by Jemma Redgrave (Doctor Who) and featuring Uma Thurman as the US President, Red, White & Royal Blue is a fantastic rom-com for audiences of all genders, sexualities, and nationalities. – Yael Tygiel

Secretary is a sultry romance that will dominate your heart, making you submit to its charm and sexy seduction scenes. The film stars James Spader (Boston Legal) as a domineering and demanding lawyer who hires Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) as his secretary before they engage in an affair in which they explore each other’s limits through BDSM-style play. Though this comedy plays up sadomasochism for laughs, the text of the film doesn’t look down on the practice and, in fact, embraces it, allowing the two lovers to find themselves in their desires. It’s an off-beat romance that strays from the classic beats of the usual romcom and paves its own path to an original story that would later be mirrored in the Fifty Shades of Grey series.

Directed by Dave Franco (The Disaster Artist) and co-written with his wife Alison Brie (GLOW), Somebody I Used to Know is a beautiful story about lost love and discovering who you are inside and outside of a relationship. Brie not only co-wrote the story but also stars as the main character, Ally, who reconnects with her old hometown ex-boyfriend Shaun (Jay Ellis) the week of his wedding. The fiancé, played by Kiersey Clemons, connects with Ally in a way that makes them both reflect on their relationships with the man they share feelings for. Ellis and Brie have so much chemistry on screen that it makes the audience root for them to be together, but you also understand the draw towards Clemmons. The film captures a nuanced perspective on the “hometown ex” trope that is rarely seen in the modern rom-com and is bolstered by spectacular understated performances. – Tauri Miller

If you like a bit of action with your cocktail of romance and comedy, Shotgun Wedding is the film for you.

Despite this being Jason Moore’s (Pitch Perfect) first foray into action-driven storytelling, he manages to deliver a film full of grit and playfulness. – Tauri Miller

Zoey Deutch (Zombieland: Double Tap) stars in Something from Tiffany’s, an adorably romantic movie by award-winning director Daryl Wein. Based on the book by Melissa Hill and with a script written by Tamara Chestna, Something from Tiffany’s is a formulaic yet charming romp about a woman (Deutch) who receives an accidental engagement ring from her boyfriend (Ray Nicholson) and a man (Kendrick Sampson) intending to propose but discovers his ring has already inadvertently been given to someone else. The true highlight of Something from Tiffany’s is the top-tier cast, which also includes Shay Mitchell, and the clearly delightful chemistry they all exude. – Yael Tygiel

Make sure to grab some tissues before watching this one. – Taylor Gates

If it’s a swooning period piece you’re looking for, Sylvie’s Love is a guaranteed hit. A lush, lovely slow-burn, Eugene Ashe’s romantic drama stars Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Asomugha as a pair of ambitious creatives, who first spark a connection over their love of jazz in 1957 New York; a connection that ties them together for a passionate, decades-long love affair with intoxicating highs and heartbreaking lows. Cinematographer Declan Quinn frames a rich, sumptuous world for their love to take root, set to a fantastic and appropriately jazzy soundtrack. Sylvie’s Love moves a little too slowly at times, but all that time with the characters, and giving them so many moments to let the emotions breathe, also pulls you deeper into their lovely, though fraught, love story.

I cannot, in all good conscience, tell you that Life Itself is a good romance movie. It is, however, an absolutely baffling, unpredictable, one-of-a-kind cinematic experience that you have to see to believe. Just try to keep up with the emotionally terroristic twists and turns of Life Itself‘s melodrama. Remember the first episode of This Is Us, and that big “Oh shit” moment of realization at the end? Life Itself is like the weaponized version of that, over and over again, in a completely ridiculous, cuckoo bananas, epic love story with an over-the-top wealth of talent in the ensemble. Proceed with caution, but also, do not miss it.

Brittany Runs a Marathon is not the movie you think it is, in the very best way. The film stars Jillian Bell as an overweight woman who sets out to train for and run the New York marathon as a way to get in shape, which she also believes will change her life for the better. Changes do come, but they’re a mix of positive and negative as Bell’s character learns the hard way that her issues are related to who she is as a person rather than how she looks on the outside. It’s a surprising, sweet, and frequently hilarious comedy with a dash of romance for good measure. But it’s also genuinely moving, and Bell gives a star-making performance that deftly navigates both comedic and dramatic territory. Brittany Runs a Marathon isn’t just one of the best comedies of 2019, it’s also one of the best films of the year full-stop. – Adam Chitwood

Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon’s real-life love story serves as inspiration for the most delightful romantic comedy in years in The Big Sick. Directed by Michael Showalter from a script by Nanjiani and Gordon, the film stars Nanjiani as himself and Zoe Kazan as Emily in the stranger-than-fiction story of two people falling in love despite clashing cultures, family expectations, and a mysterious life-threatening illness.

The story follows a standup comic (Nanjiani) who falls for a woman who heckles him (Kazan) at a show. He tries to hide the relationship from his parents, who expect a strictly traditional arranged marriage to a Muslim woman, but their romance faces an even greater hurdle when she falls into an inexplicable coma and he bonds with her parents (who you can't help but fall in love with thanks to the performances from Ray Romano and Holly Hunter). Bursting with heart and earnest good nature, The Big Sick is a witty and charming exploration of love, commitment and family, and it’s a bonafide crowd-pleaser to boot.

The Handmaiden is the most downright gorgeous erotic thriller ever made. Liberally inspired by Sarah Waters‘ British melodrama, Chan-wook Park gives the source material a cultural transplant to 1930s Japan-occupied Korea where Sook-Hee (Tae-ri Kim) takes a job as a handmaiden to the mysterious, troubled Lady Hideko (Min-hee Kim), sparking a passionate affair that reshapes their lives. Our entry point to the twisted tale is through Sook-Hee, a thief by trade and family tradition who is in fact teaming with a fake count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo) in a scheme to defraud Lady Hideko of her fortune, but when Sook-Hee falls for her mark, the fiendish plan is thrown for a loop as new layers of deception and manipulation are uncovered at every turn.
