14 Must‑Watch Rom‑Coms on Hulu (July 2026)

Summer isn’t over yet, and if the sun‑soaked beaches haven’t sparked a romance for you, luckily streaming has a backup plan. Hulu’s library is brimming with rom‑coms that range from Broadway‑sized musical spectacles to low‑budget indie gems. We’ve pulled together fourteen titles that are currently streaming, each with a quick rundown of why they might deserve a spot on your next date night.

Mamma Mia! (2008) – Think ABBA, turquoise seas and a mother who might have dated every handsome actor in the world. Amanda Seyfried plays Sophie, a bride‑to‑be who invites three of her mum’s (Meryl Streep) former flames to a Greek island in hopes of finding out which one is her dad. The result is a glittery, sing‑along adventure that feels like a vacation for the eyes and ears.

Saving Silverman (2001) – When Jason Biggs’ character lands a controlling girlfriend, his goofy best pals (Steve Zahn and Jack Black) hatch a rescue plan that spirals into chaos. It’s a raunchy, early‑2000‑s romp full of crude jokes, but the heart‑warming (if messy) friendship at its core keeps the laughs coming.

Mr. Deeds (2002) – Adam Sandler inherits a media empire and meets city‑slicker reporter Babe (Winona Ryder). Their clash of small‑town innocence and big‑city ambition makes for a classic “fish‑out‑of‑water” romance, peppered with Sandler’s trademark goofiness and a few surprisingly tender moments.

The Rewrite (2014) – Hugh Grant plays a washed‑up screenwriter forced to teach at a college, where he meets single‑mom Holly (Marisa Tomei). Their banter‑laden courtship feels more like a warm‑up for a second act in both their lives, proving that it’s never too late for a rewrite.

Love and Monsters (2020) – Not a traditional rom‑com, but the post‑apocalyptic adventure follows Joel (Dylan O’Brien) on a monster‑filled trek to reunite with his high‑school sweetheart. The mixture of heart‑pounding action and quirky love makes it an unexpected treat.

Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016) – A suburban couple (Gal Gadot and John Cena) discover their neighbors are secret spies. While the spies bring plenty of explosions, the real story is about the Joneses learning to reconnect, making the chaos feel oddly romantic.

Murphy’s Romance (1985) – Sally Field and James Garner star as a widowed mother and a charming older man who meet at a used‑car dealership. Their gentle chemistry and small‑town charm have aged like fine wine.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) – A modern Shakespeare retelling set in a high school, featuring a sassy Kat (Julia Stiles) and the earnest Patrick (Heath Ledger). Even years later, the witty dialogue and iconic “I hate you” poem keep it fresh.

Plus One (2019) – Two best friends (Mireille Enos and Jack Enoff) agree to be each other’s plus‑ones at a wedding, only to discover the line between friendship and romance is thinner than they'd thought. It’s a sweet, modern take on the “friends‑to‑lovers” trope.

Sleeping with Other People (2015) – Alia Sharma and Jason Sudeikis play two commitment‑phobes who decide to be each other’s safe‑havens. Their awkward intimacy feels oddly relatable, especially when the jokes land just right.

The Broken Hearts Gallery (2020) – Inspired by a true story, a young artist (Marion Cotillard) opens a gallery for ex‑boyfriend memorabilia, only to meet a cynical ex‑player (Andy Samberg) who challenges her cynicism about love.

No Hard Feelings (2023) – A recent comedy‑drama starring Jennifer Lawrence as a recent grad hired to… well, you’ll have to watch to find out. It’s a quirky blend of awkward humor and heartfelt moments that sticks around after the credits roll.

Palm Springs (2020) – When wedding guests (Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti) get stuck in a time loop, they use the endless day to explore a romance that deepens with each repetition. Sharp, sly, and surprisingly moving.

Fire Island (2022) – A fresh, LGBTQ‑focused spin on the classic “summer fling” story. A group of friends heads to the titular island, where love, secrets, and plenty of humor collide under the bright sun.

Whatever mood you’re in—whether you crave glittery musical numbers, sarcastic banter, or a little sci‑fi twist—Hulu’s romance roster has you covered. Pop some popcorn, dim the lights, and let one of these films do the rest.
