Staying in tonight?

There’s no denying that Netflix have been on the top of their game lately when it comes to romantic comedies.

Over the last two years or so, the streaming service have unveiled a series of swoon-worthy original films that we just haven’t been able to get enough of.

The latest one – which landed on Netflix a few days ago – is Someone Great. 

The movie tells the story of Jenny, an aspiring music journalist who has just landed her dream job at an iconic magazine – and is about to make the move from New York to San Francisco.

Rather than do long distance, her boyfriend of nine years decides to call it quits. To nurse her broken heart, Jenny gathers up her two best friends Erin and Blair  for one outrageous last adventure in New York City.

Since it was released on Friday, Netflix users have been loving the film – and many fans of the genre have been looking for a similar movie to curl up on the couch and watch.

Here are 6 more Netflix romantic comedies to check out.

Isn’t It Romantic
