Save the Date
Comedy fanatics will love seeing Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, and Martin Starr in the same low-budget romance; romance fanatics will appreciate how Caplan's character's feelings are treated in the face of what she's supposed to want vs. what she really wants.
Can't Buy Me Love
Before he was McDreamy, Patrick Dempsey was an '80s nerd named Ronald trying to win the affection of the most popular girl in school. It's not as well known as a John Hughes flick, but it's a throwback delight.
I Give It a Year
The happy ending is not what you're expecting from a romantic comedy, which makes this love story between Rose Byrne and Rafe Spall unconventional but still somehow totally satisfying.

Sleeping With Other People
How could a romantic comedy with Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie be anything less than hilarious and delightful? Sleeping With Other People is the modern When Harry Met Sally, if you can imagine Harry and Sally having a lot more sex.
