Ryan Reynolds returns to his hometown and attempts to win his high school crush. This movie is one hilariously embarrassing scene after another, as Reynolds fails over and over again to win over Amy Smart. If you’ve ever been stuck in the friends zone, you’ll appreciate this movie.
The underrated
Age of Adaline – 2015
Blake Lively stars in this drama about a woman who doesn’t age, and a man trying to win her heart despite the barriers she has in place. The movie has a intriguing premise that’s heart-felt and engaging. The acting is stellar from all the main characters.

Upside Down – 2012
Gotta love a romance movie with a sci-fi premise. A man (Jim Sturgess) attempts to reconnect with a lost love (Kirsten Dunst) despite the fact that they live in twin worlds with opposite gravity. This movie has a very unique premise which creates an engaging story. The visuals are also quite interesting.
