Netflix has often been thought of as a destination for romantic comedies, and it's getting a boost from the addition of an underrated gem. It's often been argued that theatrical romcoms have suffered because streaming services have produced some of the best romantic comedies in recent years.

Palm Springs, the time loop comedy led by Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, is a shining example of this. It debuted to rave reviews and record-breaking viewership in July 2020. Netflix has had its own standouts, with Set It Up serving as a preview of the charm that Glen Powell would bring to Anybody But You. An underseen romcom anthology series may be one of the decade's best, though.

In The Love Hypothesis, Olive Smith (Reinhart), a biology PhD candidate, and Dr. Adam Carlsen (Bateman), a hotshot professor and well-known tyrant, enter into a fake relationship, seeing each of their carefully calculated theories on love be thrown into chaos.

Published in 2021 by Berkley, an imprint of Penguin Random House, the novel spent 10 months on the New York Times bestseller list and has been sold in 40 countries. Elizabeth Cantillon is producing the feature take, with Reinhart, Catherine Hagedorn and Hazelwood exec producing.

Have you ever tried to win a free trip to Paris? Well then Netflix's new film, The Wrong Parismight be the perfect love story for you! The new Janeen Damian film stars Miranda Cosgrove, who also executive produced the film, as a woman who is looking for love and thinks that a dating show's advertisement is going to take her to France if she gets chosen. The Wrong Paris is written by Nicole Henrich and stars Cosgrove, Pierson Fodé, Madison Pettis, Madeleine Arthur, Frances Fisher, and Yvonne Orji. The film also stars Torrance Coombs, Christin Park, Emilija Baranac, and Hannah Stocking.

The trailer for The Wrong Paris shows Cosgrove as a France-obsessed young woman working at a restaurant to save money to go to Paris. But when she learns about "Honey Pot," a dating show set in the City of Love, she decides to go for it. Except that the advertisement is misleading.

British actor Tom Bateman has officially been cast as Dr. Adam Carlsen in the highly anticipated film adaptation of The Love Hypothesis, starring opposite Lili Reinhart. The movie is based on the bestselling romance novel by Ali Hazelwood, which itself began as Star Wars fanfiction. But the real twist? Bateman is married to Daisy Ridley—the actress who played Rey, one half of the romantic pairing that originally inspired the novel.

Published in 2021, The Love Hypothesis follows Olive Smith, a third-year PhD student who, in an effort to convince her best friend that she’s over a former flame, kisses the first man she sees: Dr. Adam Carlsen, a notoriously grumpy, hyper-intelligent professor. To maintain the illusion, they agree to fake a relationship. But, of course, as is classic in the fake-dating trope, real feelings start to emerge.

The book quickly became a fan favorite for its mix of academic life,...

La pareja protagonista de la rom-com basada en el fenómeno literario de Ali Hazelwood ya tiene rostro.

La hipótesis del amor sigue a Olive Smith (Reinhart), una brillante candidata a doctora en biología que no cree en las relaciones amorosas duraderas, y al Dr. Adam Carlsen (Bateman), un joven profesor tan reputado por la calidad de su trabajo como por su imbecilidad. Ambos inician una relación falsa que patas arriba cada una de sus teorías sobre el amor.

The adaptation of bestselling romance author Ali Hazelwood's debut novel, The Love Hypothesis, has just cast its male lead, and the choice will likely please Reylo's most fervent shippers. Many writers get their start in fanfiction, as it's a great way to develop the craft. One such writer is Ali Hazelwood, whose debut romance novel, The Love Hypothesis, famously began as Reylo fanfiction.

For the uninitiated, Reylo is the official fandom name for the fictional relationship between the Star Wars sequel trilogy's Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), who are enemies turned allies turned "blink-and-you-miss-it" lovers. Hazelwood has since stepped away from the galaxy far, far, away; most of her novels, including The Love Hypothesis, are categorized as Stem romances.

The film, a production of Amazon MGM Studios, stars Riverdale’sLili Reinhart as Olive Smith, a Ph.D. student with a major problem — she needs everyone to believe she’s in a relationship.

Well, now we know.

At first glance, "Fountain of Youth," Guy Ritchie's new action-adventure film made for Apple TV+, looks like a fun, family-friendly romp about an intrepid explorer and thief named Luke Purdue (John Krasinski), who recruits his sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman) to join him on a quest to find the mythical "fountain of youth." Joined by Charlotte's son Thomas (Benjamin Chivers), a billionaire seeking the fountain to cure his terminal cancer named Owen Carter (Domhnall Gleeson), Luke's old accomplices Deb McCall and Patrick Murphy (Carmen Egojo and Laz Alonso), and a competing explorer/thief named Esme (Eiza González) who keeps tracking Luke, they all set out to find the fountain that's been mentioned across continents and cultures for centuries.

This sounds at least a little promising. The end result is anything but. "Fountain of Youth" is a slog that stretches for 2 hours and 5 interminable minutes, stranding Krasinski, Portman, Gleeson, and all...

At this point, Glen Powell feels like he's been famous forever thanks to a series of high-profile projects (that also happened to be major financial successes), but this native Texan only broke into the mainstream towards the end of the 2010s. So what was he doing before that? As a young actor trying to make it big in Hollywood, Powell showed up in "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" alongside Selena Gomez, in a tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in "The Dark Knight Rises" — which consists entirely of Tom Hardy's supervillain Bane slamming a young Powell's head into a computer keyboard — and, as it turns out, he also appeared on "NCIS."

In the procedural's 10th season, Powell plays Marine Corps Sergeant Evan Westcott in the two-part episode "Shell Shock," whose older brother, Captain Joe Westcott (Brad Beyer), watched as his friend was attacked (and may or may not have been personally involved...

Hit Man Credit – Netflix

Hit Man is a romantic crime comedy film directed by Richard Linklater, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Glen Powell. The 2023 film follows Gary Johnson, a mild-mannered psychology and philosophy professor who moonlights as a pretend hitman for the police to catch the people trying to hire him. When he meets a beautiful woman who wants to hire him to kill her abusive husband, his life completely changes.

The hangout movie is one of the most underrated genres of film, spanning back decades. To quote visionary and legendary modern filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, when discussing the Howard Hawks film Rio Bravo in a private screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, hangout movies, "are certain movies that you hang out with the characters so much that they actually become your friends. And that’s a really rare quality to have in a film…because it actually takes that long of a time to get past a movie character where you actually feel that you know the person and you like them…when it’s over, they’re your friends.”

The modern master of the hangout movie is almost certainly Richard Linklater, whose varied filmography includes comedy classics like School of Rock, Oscar winners like Boyhood and romantic comedies like Hit Man. One of his best films of all time,...

Hot off the success of American Horror Story and Glee, the twisted minds of TV producers Brad Falchuk, Ryan Murphy, and Ian Brennan birthed a unique creation with the Fox series, Scream Queens, which featured a then mostly unknown Glen Powell. A mix of horror and black comedy with a dash of campy satire, Scream Queens ran for two seasons from 2015- 2016. It starred Emma Roberts as Chanel Oberlin, the It-girl of Wallace University and head of the campus’ biggest sorority, Kappa Kappa Tau. Also featured were Billie Lourd, Keke Palmer, Abigail Breslin, Nick Jonas, and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Roberts may have dazzled as Chanel, but Glen Powell was arguably an even bigger scene-stealer. Powell made his acting debut in 2003's Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. From there, he continued to act steadily, notably playing astronaut John Glen in 2015's Hidden Figures. However, it was Powell's role as Hangman in...

With new hits like Hot Frosty and The Merry Gentlemen, Netflix is really leaning into feel-good Christmas movies this season, and audiences can't get enough. Its latest rom-com, Our Little Secret, highlights Lindsay Lohan's career resurgence as the sweet holiday flick dominates the streaming service's top ten chart quickly after its release.

The film follows the ironic reunion between ex-lovers Avery (Lindsay Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding) after discovering their respective partners are siblings while staying at their parents' house for Christmas. Pretending they don't know each other in an effort to not make things awkward for everyone, the old flames take viewers on a journey into their intimate history through increasingly precarious lies and antics to keep their secret. As relationship problems emerge and old feelings resurface, the classic question of romance-movies-past is asked: who does Avery end up with?

In Food Network’s newest competition series, Last Bite Hotel, premiering Tuesday, September 24 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt, eight chefs have been invited to a remote hotel for a game of resourcefulness and creativity. Tasked by the hotel manager to meet the culinary demands of the hotel’s VIP guests, each chef may only bring 13 ingredients for their entire stay.

Cooking skills won’t be enough to get them to the finish line, as ingenuity and calculated risks are needed to survive and cook another day. Emmy and SAG-nominated actor, musician, and writer Tituss Burgess brings mystery, intrigue, and his wry, dark wit to the game as the host and hotel manager who delivers quips and challenges as only he can.

As the game proceeds, each challenge completed means precious ingredients are dwindling, and, for the competitors, the chance of being banished to the dreaded Room 13 is increasing. As competitors are eliminated,...

He turned it down.

“It’s one of the things I’ve wanted to do my whole life,...

The recent favoritism surrounding the actor began after his role in the Netflix rom-com Set It Up took the audience by surprise.
