RANKED: 12 Netflix original romantic comedies, from least to most delightful

0

Over the past couple of years, Netflix has committed itself to aiding in the revival of the romantic comedy genre.

From cringey additions like "The Kissing Booth" to smash hits like "To All the Boys I've Loved Before," there's a wide array of options to stream at any given moment.

We combined the films' Rotten Tomatoes scores with a general feeling of delight while watching to develop a highly unscientific ranking. The 12 movies are listed below from worst to best. (Note: No Christmas movies will be included here, because that's an entirely different beast.)

12. "#REALITYHIGH" (2017)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 40%

INSIDER'S Delightfulness Score: 10%

"#REALITYHIGH" is a condescending story of inflated social media obsession trying to be an enlightened tale of modern love. As Emma Courtright wrote for Zimbio, this film is so "painfully out of touch" that "we felt personally offended on behalf of teens everywhere."



11. "The Kissing Booth" (2018)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 20%

INSIDER'S Delightfulness Score: 17%

"The Kissing Booth" is a whole mess. While Netflix claims it was one of the most popular movies of 2018, much of that statistic may very well be thanks to hate-views.

The film is full of slut-shaming and somehow features a classic misogynist (Jacob Elordi) as the romantic male lead we're supposed to be rooting for. The only reason we didn't score it lower is because Joey King is a talented actress who needs a better agent.

10. "Like Father" (2018)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 48%

INSIDER'S Delightfulness Score: 35%

To be sure, Kristen Bell is always delightful, but even her effortless charm isn't enough to elevate "Like Father" beyond a passable diversion. The overworked and neurotic Rachel can be difficult to root for, Jeff (Seth Rogen) doesn't get nearly enough screen time, and Harry (Kelsey Grammer) gets too much. It's hardly a rom-com at all, in fact, but Netflix's "titles related to" algorithm begs to differ.

The film isn't unenjoyable by any means, but it's a bit obvious and far too forgettable. Ultimately, "Like Father" is best treated as the last option once you've exhausted all other streamable rom-coms.
