Annie is asked by her best friend Lillian to be her maid of honour, but it all turns into a disaster when she gets into a feud with one of the other bridesmaids.

Bridesmaids is one of those classic comedies that never gets old.

It stars some well-known names, including Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph, and Rebel Wilson.

If you enjoy Bridesmaids, you might also enjoy the Netflix comedy Wine Country, which stars Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Maya Rudolph!

He’s Just Not That into You (2009)

He’s Just Not That into You is a cute rom-com that follows several different people and their love (or heartbreak) stories, and they all connect together somehow.

It’s a star-studded cast with the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and so many other awesome actors and actresses.

New Year’s Eve is another similar movie where it follows a bunch of different people who are connected!

I Feel Pretty (2018)

I Feel Pretty is an adorable comedy film that shows that it’s truly what’s on the inside that makes you beautiful.

After wishing at a fountain and knocking her head at Soulcycle, Renee suddenly sees herself as what she thinks is the most beautiful woman in the world.

In reality, her appearance hasn’t changed, and her fearless attitude and confidence is what makes her excel.

Amy Schumer does an amazing job in the movie!

Pitch Perfect franchise (2015 & 2017)

College student Beca joins an all-girl acapella group filled with all kinds of different personalities.

She helps break them out of their traditional ideals as they work together to compete in college music competitions against other top acapella groups at college competitions.

There are tons of popular names in here, including Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and Brittany Snow!

The original Pitch Perfect is probably my favourite of all the movies, but you can watch the second and third movies on Prime Video.

It’s an awesome musical comedy that’s perfect for any music lovers!

Somebody I Used to Know (2023)

Workaholic TV producer Ally travels back to her hometown, where she runs into her ex Sean and starts to question everything about her life.

She finds out Sean is getting married to Cassidy, who reminds her of the person she used to be.

I love that Dave Franco and Alison Brie worked as a husband-and-wife team on this movie.

They wrote the screenplay together, Dave Franco directed it, and Alison Brie stars in it!

It also stars Jay Ellis from Insecure (on Crave), Danny Pudi from Community, and Haley Joel Osment, who played the kid in The Sixth Sense.

She’s All That (1999)

High school jock Zach gets dared by his friends to take geeky Laney to the prom, and he ends up falling in love with her.

She’s All That is a classic 90’s rom-com, and you can actually also watch the 2021 remake He’s All That on Netflix as well!

It’s definitely not the same as the iconic original movie, but it’s still a fun watch.

If you’re a big sneakerhead or a basketball fan, you’ll definitely want to watch Air.

It’s based on the real story of how the iconic Air Jordan line was born: a Nike employee set out to strike a business deal with rookie Michael Jordan.

Matt Damon, Chris Tucker, and Jason Bateman all star in Air, and Ben Affleck directed the movie!

Five different high school students from different walks of life get stuck together in a room for detention under their power-hungry principal.

As their detention goes on, they start to get to know each other and see each other differently.

The Breakfast Club is such an iconic 80’s teen movie by John Hughes, and it stars Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall.

Ingrid Goes West (2017)

Obsessed with social media influencer Taylor, Ingrid goes to LA with hopes of becoming BFFs.

Ingrid Goes West is absolutely cringe-worthy and hilarious, and is definitely a fun watch in this social media age.

While on a job, Brooklyn plumbers and brothers Mario and Luigi are transported through a mysterious pipe to a magical new world, where they find themselves on an epic adventure.

Back to the Future (1985-1990)

After teenage Marty McFly travels back in time and his high school-aged mom starts crushing on him, he tries to make his parents fall in love so that he can exist in the future.

Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis both star in Ted, and the movie was written and directed by Seth MacFarlane!

You can watch both of the movies on Prime Video.

Thriller & horror comedies on Prime Video


I Care a Lot (2021)

A con artist works as a legal guardian and unknowingly bilks an elderly woman with ties to the Russian mafia.

Rosamund Pike is just as unlikeable in I Care a Lot as she is in Gone Girl, but I guess that makes her a really good actress.

Peter Dinklage is also in this film!

Totally Killer (2023)

35 years after the murders of three teens, a masked serial killer returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim.

When teenage Jamie comes face-to-face with the masked killer, she accidentally time travels back in 1987, where she teams up with her teenage mother to take down the killer once and for all.

I was expecting this movie to be pretty corny, but I actually enjoyed it and laughed out loud quite a bit.

Kiernan Shipka stars as Jamie in Totally Killer, as well as Lochlyn Munro, who plays Betty’s dad in Riverdale on Netflix!

Assassination Nation (2018)

Four high school girls in Salem fight for their lives after a hacker exposes everyone in town’s secrets and sends the town into chaos.

The real action in Assassination Nation takes awhile to start, but it’s still a fun watch.
