the perfect date
If you’ve already seen every rom-com you can imagine, The Perfect Date is a fresh ‘made in Netflix’ option. Noah Centineo is the protagonist after his success in another of the best romantic movies on this list, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and one of the greatest hits on the platform. In this case, The Perfect Date is a predictable comedy that tells us the story of a young man who launches an app to offer himself as a fake boyfriend. As is logical, everything ends up getting complicated and feelings get out of hand. It is a romantic film, yes, but focused on an adolescent audience or a film without too many pretensions. It works well as something light and entertaining to watch if you’re looking for a classic rom-com.
