10 Underrated Rom-Coms of the 2010s Worth Revisiting

1. "Celeste and Jesse Forever" (2012)

Ever been in a relationship where you're best friends, yet somehow, it's not quite working? Enter Celeste and Jesse. Divorcing but trying to remain chums, they navigate the tangled web of post-relationship life.

But here's the twist: while the ink dries on the divorce papers, things start to get... complicated. It's like trying to eat spaghetti without getting sauce on your face. Can love and friendship coexist without messy boundaries? Well, that's a saucy question, isn't it?

2. "Safety Not Guaranteed" (2012)

An ad in the paper: seeking a companion for time travel. No, it's not a joke (or is it?). Darius, a quirky journalist, dives into this oddball story. Her target? Kenneth, a man genuinely preparing for a temporal leap.

It's not your usual meet-cute – more like a meet-weird. As they prep for their 'journey', unexpected feelings develop. Now, think: is it the thrill of time travel, or is love the real adventure? A truly cosmic conundrum.

3. "The Decoy Bride" (2011)

Here's a caper for you: a famous couple wants a secluded wedding on a remote Scottish island. But, paparazzi. What's the solution? A decoy bride, of course! Local girl Katie steps in to dupe the press. But then, the groom and the decoy spend a day together, and boy, do sparks fly.

It's a mishmash of mistaken identities, comical blunders, and unexpected connections. All's fair in love and weddings, right? Well, unless you're the decoy.

4. "Ruby Sparks" (2012)

Writer's block: the bane of every author. Calvin, a novelist, starts writing about his dream girl to beat it. And then, in a twist straight out of fiction, she appears in his life. Real as rain. He writes, she changes.

Convenient, eh? But how long can you play God with someone's life (and love) without things going awry? It's like being handed the remote to someone's soul. A whimsical tale about creation, control, and romantic chaos.

5. "People Places Things" (2015)

Life's a comic strip for graphic novelist Will Henry. Juggling twin daughters and the aftermath of catching his wife in flagrante delicto with another man, our lad's got his hands full.

But then, a potential new flame enters the scene. What follows is a delightful mélange of awkward dates, daddy duties, and doodles. Parenthood or partnership? Love or solitude? The dilemmas are real, even if drawn in black and white.

6. "What If" (2013)

Boy meets girl. They hit it off. Just one teeny problem – she's taken. Wallace and Chantry's friendship is as sweet as a bowl of strawberries. But can they keep things strictly platonic? With every shared glance and laugh, you can't help but wonder.

It's a playful poke at the age-old question: can men and women just be friends? Or is there always that looming 'what if'?

7. "The Incredible Jessica James" (2017)

Jessica James, larger than life, and twice as vibrant. A struggling playwright in the Big Apple, she's rebounding post-breakup. Enter Boone, another heartbreak victim. Their deal? Help each other move on.

Sounds simple? Think again. New York's backdrop adds its own razzle-dazzle, making the ride even more exhilarating. An offbeat tale of rediscovering love, while still rocking to your own beat.

8. "Results" (2015)

"Results" invites you into the world of fitness – where muscles flex and egos clash. Danny, a rich, lonely schlub, dives into this world, seeking personal training from the dynamic duo: Trevor and Kat.

What's supposed to be a health journey turns into a complicated love triangle. The gym's not just for physical workout anymore; hearts are put to the test too. Do relationships need more cardio or strength training? That's the real workout question.

9. "Sleeping with Other People" (2015)

Lainey and Jake, a pair bonded by, well, a one-night stand. Years later, they reconnect, promising to keep things friendly.

A mutual therapy of sorts, teaching each other how to not mess up romantic relationships. It's like the blind leading the blind through the chaotic streets of love. Two serial cheaters in the city that never sleeps – what could possibly go wrong? Or right?

10. "The Overnight" (2015)

Playdates aren't just for kids. Two couples, new in town, decide to have a family evening. As the night stretches, so do boundaries and inhibitions.

This isn't your average rom-com; it's more of a risqué exploration of relationships and adult insecurities. When you mix friendship, attraction, and a liberal dose of wine, things are bound to get... interesting. A cheeky reminder that you're never too old for some mischief.
