This queer, modern twist on Cyrano de Bergerac follows Ellie Chu, a shy, smart high schooler who makes side cash writing papers for her classmates. This leads to the lovesick school jock asking for her help in writing love letters to Aster Flores—who Ellie is also in love with. A beautiful coming of age dramedy, this film already has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This 2011 Adam Sandler rom-com got less-than-stellar reviews, but if you ask us, that’s all the more reason to make it your next streaming party movie. The intricate plot centers around Danny (Sandler) getting caught in a lie by his new love interest, Palmer (Brooklyn Decker). To cover, Danny asks his best friend Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) to pretend to be his soon-to-be-ex-wife. But as the lies grow more and more complicated, so do Danny’s feelings.
The Lovebirds

If this movie is half as good as Kumail Nanjiani’s previous romantic film, The Big Sick, we’re in for an excellent time. The much-lighter movie follows an on-the-rocks couple (Nanjiani and Issa Rae) after they’ve suddenly become caught up in a murder mystery. Now they need to work together to clear their names—and hopefully save their relationship, too.
