It’s the perfect balance between a comedy and a love story that keeps you satisfied during these high-romance seasons, while still being light-hearted. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is easily one of the best, and classic, rom-coms on Netflix.

Both Aubrey (Robertson) and Dave (O’Brien) are seniors in high school who meet at a party and quickly become friends. While this might not connect with an older audience, the movie is fun and flirty with a happy ending that any teen dreams about.

Noah gets the unbelievable chance to go back in time to change the course of events over and over again, in a hilarious story of fate and love.
