Mushy Things Part 3 💘

Movies to fall in love with

Hi! Hello!

It’s officially the most romantic day of the year and I am very excited for all the rom-coms and book-to-screen adaptations that are dropping! If you’re new to my “Mushy Things series”, you’re in for a treat. Around twice a year, I round up all the romantic comedies and series that are out now or coming very soon. The goal is to gather things that will make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Or that I’m just excited for - it’s my newsletter after all.

Whether you’re planning a cozy night in the next couple of weeks or looking to take yourself to a night at the movies, here’s a round up of some of the best “mushy” things coming out the next couple of months. Let’s jump in!

Currently Streaming/In Theaters Now

People We Meet on Vacation (Streaming Now!)

The first book-to-screen adaptation of Emily Henry’s masterpiece is here and I for one was pretty pleased with this movie (something that’s certainly not the case with other book to screen adaptations). If you haven’t read this one, it is about best friends Poppy and Alex whose annual vacation gets complicated when feelings get involved. They made some serious changes to the story in this one (a wedding in Barcelona instead of Palm Springs), but definitely recommend watching it!

Relationship Goals (Streaming Now!)

Kelly Rowland plays the leading lady in Relationship Goals. A tv executive is fighting to become the first woman to run New York’s top morning show. Unfortunately, she is competing with her ex for the same role. In typical rom-com fashion, sparks begin fly with her ex, challenging her priorities.

Heated Rivalry (Streaming Now!)

If you haven’t heard of Heated Rivalry, where have you been! A secret fling starts between two rival hockey players and I binged the entire series in a day. Based on the second book by Rachel Reid in the Game Changers series, this show is surely a must watch. Through Valentine’s day the New York Public Library has gifted us instant access to all six books in series, a very good gift indeed.

Eternity (Streaming Now!)

I missed this one in theaters but I am very excited to stream it! In an afterlife where newly arrived souls are given one week to decide how they will spend their eternity, Joan finds herself facing an impossible decision. She must choose between her devoted husband and her first love who tragically died and has been waiting for her arrival for decades. How will she choose?!

Wuthering Heights (In Theaters Now)

The long awaited Wuthering Heights adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi is finally here! I have long been awaiting for this movie and cannot wait to see it in theaters! (Long live my AMC A-List). The reviews are mixed, but at the very least, I think the music by Charli xcx is something to get excited about!

Pillion (In Theaters Now)

Colin, a timid man meets Ray, a confident biker gang leader who upends his quiet world. Ray introduces Colin to a submissive relationship dynamic and it challenges everything Colin thought he knew about himself. What starts as an unlikely connection between two men, evolves into a story of vulnerability and self-discovery.

Dreams (In Theaters Now)

An American socialite (Jessica Chastain) becomes involved in a passionate but dangerous affair with a talented Mexican ballet dancer who is undocumented. When her lover secretly crosses the US/Mexican border to be with her, their relationship becomes increasingly complicated and risky. Desperate to protect both their love and his safety, she takes extreme and potentially dangerous measures to secure a future where they can be together without fear.

Coming Out Soon

Reminders of Him (In Theaters March 13th)

Colleen Hoover’s books are consistently top bestseller lists and there are many adaptations of her books in the works (including Verity). This latest adaptation follows Kenna who returns to her hometown after being in prison for seven years. She hopes to rebuild her life and finds unexpected romance with a former NFL player.

The Bride! (In Theaters March 6)

Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Bride! brings the story of the bride of Frankenstein to life. This gothic, romantic horror film stars Jessie Buckley who, after being murdered, is brought back to life to be Frankenstein’s companion. I think this movie has the potential to go off the rails and I love the use of Florence and the Machine’s music in the trailer.

The Drama (In Theaters April 3rd)

I am really excited to see The Drama starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson but based on the trailer, I am really unsure where this movie falls on the “mushy things” scale. An engaged couple faces a crisis during their wedding week and their romance takes a dramatic turn. However the movie ends, it is sure to make me cry.

You, Me & Tuscany (In Theaters April 10th)

A classic rom-com through and through - I cannot wait to see this movie with my girls! Anna abandoned her dreams of becoming a chef and is drifting through her twenties. When she loses her house-sitting job, she decides to crash a handsome stranger’s Italian villa. In moment of panic, she pretends to be the stranger’s fiancé but the situation get complicated when she accidentally falls for his cousin. Drama!

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (In Theaters May 1st)

We finally got a trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 and my excitement continues to build! Miranda Priestly is back and is fighting to keep print magazines relevant. I am looking forward to seeing what all our favorite characters have been up to and a hefty dose of one liners.

"Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking," - Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.

Later This Year

Girls Like Girls (In Theaters June 19th)

When Coley arrives as the new girl in town, she finds herself unexpectedly falling for Sonya, a local who already has a boyfriend. This attraction creates a complicated love triangle that threatens to upend the dynamic of their small town. Based on the YA book by Hayley Kiyoko which was based on the billboard-charting smash hit song and viral music video GIRLS LIKE GIRLS!, I am looking forward to this movie out this summer.

One Night Only (In Theaters August 7th)

In a highly restrictive society where premarital intimacy is forbidden except for one designated night per year, two desperate strangers find themselves searching for partners during this rare window of permitted freedom. As the clock ticks down on their only opportunity for romance and connection, their frantic search leads them through the chaotic and hilarious landscape of their repressive world. I think this potentially dystopian rom-com is going to be a very interesting.

Sense & Sensibility (In Theaters September 11th)

From the team that brought us the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, one of my all time favorite movies as well as the 2020 version of Emma, comes the latest Jane Austen adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. Directed by Georgia Oakley and starring Daisy Edgar Jones, I truly cannot wait for this movie to come out later this year.
