      Additionally, we provide guides to the best films to stream this week, the top movies on Netflix, the finest films on Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+.

      Afterlife of the Party (2021)

      Netflix

      Afterlife of the Party leans more toward comedy than romance. It resembles a platonic rom-com, focusing on friendship as the main relationship. Nonetheless, it offers plenty of laughs with supernatural elements. Cassie (Victoria Justice) and Lisa (Midori Francis) have been friends since they were kids. As they enter their mid-20s, the two have become quite different; Cassie is outgoing, while Lisa is reserved.

      After a night of drinking ends in a quarrel, a hungover Cassie stumbles while heading to the bathroom and hits her head on the toilet. Cassie dies, but she cannot enter heaven just yet. To earn her way in, she must assist three individuals, including Lisa, within five days—or face a hellish existence called "below." Imagine Afterlife of the Party as a version of Ghost without the pottery scene and the murder element.

      La Dolce Villa (2025)

      Netflix

      While Christmas has come and gone, Netflix's Hallmark-style romantic comedies now debut throughout the year. Journey to Italy with Scott Foley in the Netflix original La Dolce Villa. When Eric Field (Foley) learns that his 24-year-old daughter, Liv (Maia Reficco), intends to buy an old villa in Italy, he promptly books a flight to prevent her from using up her life savings.

      Initially, Eric's trip to Italy is purely for business. However, everything shifts when he encounters Francesca (Violante Placido), the mayor of the village where Liv wishes to purchase a home. Is La Dolce Villa a revolutionary rom-com? Hardly. But is it enjoyable to watch charming individuals explore the Italian countryside and fall in love? Absolutely.

      When In Rome (2010)

      Touchstone Pictures

      Kristen Bell is establishing herself as a queen of modern romance shows due to her role in Nobody Wants This. Fifteen years earlier, she demonstrated her rom-com skills alongside Josh Duhamel in When In Rome. Beth (Bell) is a late-20s art curator who has become disillusioned with love. She travels to Rome to be the maid of honor at her younger sister's wedding.

      During her time in Rome, Beth encounters Nick Beamon (Josh Duhamel), the best man at the wedding. The two hit it off, but an awkward moment causes Beth to leave abruptly. While at a magical fountain, Beth pulls out enchanted coins, and tradition states that anyone who owns one will fall in love with her. When Nick may be in possession of one of the coins, Beth must decide whether his affection is genuine or merely a result of enchantment.
