 A highly underrated movie that sets the story in Los Angeles with couples on February 14th. It ends with a dramatic twist that includes relatable actions to laugh at. Regardless of the audience throwing 18% of rotten tomatoes, it’s worth watching a cheesy rom-com that can help distract you from COVID-19 life.

 “It’s for love in general. It’s not for men or women, it’s for togetherness,” Anne Hathaway said.

 

2. “Ever After” (1998)

A peaceful start inspired by the original Cinderella story. Actress Drew Barrymore plays the main character, Danielle, who serves her stepsisters and stepmother in a big house in France during the 16th century after her father died. Just like every Cinderella tale, she falls in love. The story however will continue on with a medieval taste to take you back in time and in your feels. 

“It didn’t seem new or interesting until Drew came along,”  20th Century Fox chairman said.
