Forgetting Sarah Marshall for a teen?


Depends how old. 13? No. 19? Yes. I was 18 or 19 when it came out.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall does not just have sex. It has full frontal nudity in the first 15 ish mins. Miss Congenialty might be a good one. Ten Things I Hate About You.

How old are these teens?

We saw Solo Mio last weekend and enjoyed it. It was funny and definitely clean. The protagonists weren’t young though ~ 40-50 if that would make a difference to your girls

Notting Hill
While You Were Sleeping
Sleepless In Seattle
The Wedding Singer
He Said She Said (little-remembered Kevin Bacon rom-com from early 90s)
Picture Perfect (Jennifer Aniston Jay Mohr …and again Kevin Bacon from mid-late 90s)

Or a period romantic piece that has comedic features—

Fool’s Gold which also has Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey is good, too. It’s not a straight romcom, though, but also has an action/adventure component along the lines of Romancing the Stone, Crocodile Dundee, True Lies, etc.

Specifically for mother/daughter:

13 going on 30
And you could do a theme and watch that plus all the Freaky Fridays together (there are at least 4 versions, you could probably skip the musical one but it was fun to see the oldest one and compare to the Jamie Lee Curtis / Lindsay Lohan versions.

Not a movie, but Gilmore Girls was a huge bonding experience for my DD and me.
