Rom-coms to watch with teen daughters?

[Anonymous]

It's just us girls on Valentine's Day this year, and I'm looking for movie ideas. Preferably cute/funny/silly vs. weepy/dramatic.

I thought Down With Love is really cute.

Also Say Anything. Total classic.

My teen's favorite movie watch with me was Overboard (the OG). Also anything with Sandra Bullock.

There's sex in Say Anything but at the end the hero helps the heroine achieve her dreams. It's also a movie about the importance of honesty. Between gf and bf and parents and children.

Leap Year
Sweet Home Alabama
While You Were Sleeping

[Anonymous]

A Cinderella story (the Hilary Duff version)
Love Actually

You could go old school with Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sleepless in Seattle, Sweet Home Alabama, My Best Friend’s Wedding

[Anonymous]

Some classic movies:

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
It Happened One Night
The Graduate (tame by today’s standards)
Out of Africa (not light, but romantic)
The Painted Veil (also not light, but romantic)

Yes, I guess I shouldn't have used a blanket statement. I can't really say I've seen ALL rom coms

+1 for 13 Going on 30 and The Cutting Edge if you haven't seen those.

I don't know how old your teens are but I'd nix some of the other suggestions (e.g., Forgetting Sarah Marshall) that are R-rated and raunchy (even though I love them)

Those porn-star stand-in scenes though are cringe.

These aren't cute/funny/silly, though.
