5 Newest Netflix and Prime Video Rom-Coms If You Liked Anyone But You
It is time for a new kind of romance.
It would seem that there are many romantic comedies with simple plots and good actors. But for some romcom connoisseurs it's always not enough, and it is impossible to watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or The Wedding Planner endlessly.
So if Anyone But You sparked your rom-com craving, these five recently released projects are just what you need.
1. Set It Up, 2018
Where to Watch: Netflix
A rom-com with Anyone But You star Glen Powell. Harper works hard for her boss, sportswriter Kirsten. One day she meets Charlie, who works for banker Rick, also suffering from workaholism. The exhausted assistants decide to get their bosses together so they can take care of their personal lives and the subordinates can finally take a breather.
Claire Scanlon, the director of some episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Good Place, has made a movie that laughs at both love affairs and office morals, and at the same time is one of the best representatives of the rom-com genre in recent years.
2. Your Place or Mine, 2023
Where to Watch: Netflix
This rom-com starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher may seem a little corny, but sometimes the good old rom-com formula is the best way to unwind after an exhausting day.
Debbie and Peter are best friends who live in different cities – she is in New York, he is in Los Angeles. One day they decide to swap houses for a whole week. Time flies, the two friends manage to fulfill their dreams and think about what they really want from life, but Peter realizes that he is in love with his best friend.

The girl becomes part of Marcus' family until she grows up and discovers that the guy is no longer just a friend. But a sudden feeling cannot always erase the circumstances of life.
You will see at least four twists with sudden confessions, partings, a great cameo by Keanu Reeves, and a truly touching culmination.
4. Love in the Villa, 2022

This rom-com tells the story of Julie, who decides to go on vacation to Verona after a very unpleasant breakup with her boyfriend. When she arrives, she discovers that the villa she booked is already occupied, which means that she will have to share the living space with the cynical British Charlie.
Kat Graham, known to most viewers for her role as Bonnie in The Vampire Diaries, and Tom Hopper, who looks a lot like Glen Powell from a distance, play the lead roles.
5. Meet Cute, 2022
Where to Watch: Prime Video
In the timeless classic Groundhog Day, Bill Murray lived the same day against his will. But the main character of Meet Cute, Sheila, keeps going back in time of her own free will. On that day she met the perfect guy, Gary, who made her happy and with whom, she is sure, nothing will ever work out, because it has never worked out with anyone before. So it is better to live one day at a time, literally.
The rom-com is worth watching just for the cast – Pete Davidson finds himself in a sci-fi story involving a time machine and the risky Kaley Cuoco, who decides to break all the laws of the space-time continuum to please him.
