Sometimes we just need a little love to fulfill our blue flower side. Here are 5 romantic films perfect for cheering up, to watch in streaming: The idea of being with you, My Dear F***ing Prince, Puppy Love, Bottoms as well as Upgraded.
Even for those most resistant to the genre, romantic comedies always provide the assurance of clearing their minds in front of a cocoon of good feelings, without the hassle. Fortunately, SVOD platforms are overflowing with rosy content, to our greatest happiness. Here are 5 romances feel-goodto devour without moderation.
The idea of being with you on Prime Video, the most Harry Stylesque of romances
Just imagine: you attend the concert of the famous boy band August Moon during their visit to Coachella and suddenly, one of the singers dedicates the next song to you… Yes, to you, the forty-year-old he met through by chance, a few moments earlier. Then begins a love story between Solène, a single mother, and the famous Hayes Campbell…
Any resemblance to an unknown artist named Harry Styles is not coincidental: The idea of being with you is inspired by a fan fiction written with the famous leader of One Direction in mind. The film thus surfs on the same influences, multiplying the resemblances with the musician.
But beyond the obvious reference to Harry Styles, The idea of being with you turns out to be a nice romantic comedy about the age difference, and particularly the injunctions imposed on women.
Anne Hathaway continues to prove that she is an immense actress, regardless of genre, and it is difficult not to succumb to the charm of her sensual duo formed with Nicholas Galitzine (Bottoms). The icing on the cake: the songs from the soundtrack are so great that they will go straight into your summer playlists, we guarantee it.

My Dear F***ing Prince on Prime Video, the most royal of romances
Take the young heir to the British royal family, give him a crush on the son of the American president, add a few sweet words and other butterflies in the stomach as well as a good dose of humor about the cultural differences between the states -US and UK and bingo: you get the tasty mix of My Dear F***ing Prince (Or Red, White and Royal Blue).
Adapted from the best-selling book by Casey McQuiston, this gay romance meets all our expectations, offering a film that is light as can be, but still deeply committed to LGBTQIA+ representation.
The feature film especially benefits from the electric alchemy between Taylor Zakhar Perez (The Kissing Booth 2 And 3) and Nicholas Galitzine (The idea of being with you), who make a sexy and adorable on-screen couple, torn between their passionate feelings and the obligations of their respective public functions. A luminous love story, which is well worth the detour.

Problem: their first date is a disaster, but their respective dogs are now expecting puppies together. Having become canine co-parents, they could well find love in the process…
Lucy Hale (pretty Little Liars) and Grant Gustin (The Flash) illuminate this predictable romance, with caricatured but rather original characters for the genre. Puppy Love doesn’t revolutionize anything, but will perfectly satisfy your need to see adorable doggies on screen.

Bottoms on Prime Video, the most badass romance
We cheat a little by putting BottomsThis Fight Club Absolutely awesome lesbian, in this selection. But after all, the film mixes genres brilliantly, including that of the romantic comedy feel-good. It follows two unpopular students who decide to launch a female self-defense group, with the sole aim of impressing their crushes : cheerleaders.
Bottoms connects the punchlines given to completely crazy characters, played by a cast in top form, Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Rachel Sennot (The Idol) or Ruby Cruz (Willow) on your mind. It is not for nothing that this comedy queer was one of our favorites of the year 2023: the feature film is a real breath of fresh adolescent air, which we have been waiting for for a long time.

Upgraded on Prime Video, the most ethereal of romances
Lying and dual identities are among the favorite clichés of romantic comedies. Upgraded is no exception to the rule, telling us the story of Ana, a young assistant in the art field who obtains a first class seat for an important business trip to London, with her boss.
At her side is the elegant and wealthy Will, to whom she poses as a wealthy businesswoman. Obviously, this lie will catch up with her very quickly…
The chemistry between Camila Mendes (Riverdale) and Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone) unfortunately lacks sparks to change Upgraded in a real fairy tale. We still let ourselves be caught in the game of this classic, but effective, misunderstanding, failing to take us directly to seventh heaven.
