Her love life is thrown into the wind when the letters are posted and all of the boys she has ever loved before confront her about it. The film is about a teenage girl who privately writes a letter to every guy she has had a crush on, only to have the letters by herself. The Netflix film sure wasn’t looking to get nominated for film awards, and it plays out as such: mostly harmless, entertaining stuff. ‘To All the Boys I have Loved Before’ is typical teenage mush, albeit an extremely popular one at that, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being that if you got the taste for it. To All the Boys I have Loved Before (2018) Side note: this film stars Noah Centineo too. I am not all with its dividing ending that kind of sends the wrong message, but this film scored quite the numbers for Netflix when it released. Sierra Burgess is considered a loser in school and when a case of mistaken identities pits her with the most popular girl in high school, the two must struggle to work together to win over their crushes. Sierra Burgess is a Loser (2018)Īnother less superior addition to the list of Netflix original romantic comedy films on this list, and both of them, safe to say are in more or less the same vein, albeit this one is comparatively a more by the books take. The better ones are right around the corner. A very passable film at best if you have the taste for the kind. The outcome is inevitable and predictable, as are the proceedings as young Elle navigates her way through high school love.

The second one in the series of run of the mill Netflix romantic comedies, ‘The Kissing Booth’ is about a teenage girl and how she must choose between her crush who she shares a kiss with at a kissing booth she sets up during the school carnival, or her friend and their pact that forbids her from having a crush on each other’s siblings. Usually in a list of finer films, it would have either not made it or my advice would have been to skip it, but as I said before, Netflix is able to dominate the landscape when it comes to coming-of-age high school romcoms. The film is about a series of firsts faced by a group of four high school girls and how they come to terms with it, growing up in the process. So, here’s the list of really good coming-of-age movies on Netflix that are available to stream right now:Īnother typical high school Netflix original rom com, ‘Dude’ too joins the ranks of ‘To All the Boys I Have Loved Before’ and ‘Sierra Burgess is a Loser’, but provides nothing new. The films range from cult classics to dramas with depth to simple-natured teen comedies, all in the same vein of growing up. Luckily for us, Netflix really has a long line-up of such films, which is also a testament to the genre’s popularity. As humans, as we grow up, everything seems new and it is a time of discovery, and the transition is essentially what it’s all about: the first relationship, the first kiss, the first heartbreak, the first sexual contact or discovery, the first feeling of responsibility, the first feeling of leaving something behind: it’s an age of firsts.
