My 14 year old dd has just started really enjoying films. She hates anything in the least bit scary.

She's enjoyed
Devil wears Prada, Clueless, 10 things I hate about you, Booksmart

Basically rom coms!

Any ideas?

These suggestions are taking me back to DD’s teen years! Not a film, but at that age she loved Gavin and Stacey.

While you were sleeping? It's an oldie but a goodie!

Mine has basically worked her way through all Julia Roberts/Sandra Bullock/Meg Ryan/Matt Damon/Tom Hanks type films. Loves Dirty Dancing. Recently really liked Instant Family and Bridget Jones's Baby.

FatRascalsAndJam · 18/05/2020 17:41

Not a rom com but we really enjoyed Fighting with my family recently - about a young female wrestler from Norwich trying to make it in the WWE. Very funny and moving.

Thank you! Great suggestions.

She's seen a lot of them already but there's definitely a few good ones here.

Another vote for Yesterday - Lily James!
50 first dates
And not a film but Atypical on Netflix is great

3 men and a baby/ little lady, I loved those films at that age

Gosh, this thread has reminded me of a film DSis and I were obsessed with as teenagers, about a teenage girl who hoes on a few ch exchange to Paris. Obvs falls in love with the son of the hosts.

TheoneandObi · 18/05/2020 21:38

Not a rom com. But Ferris Bueller's Day Off is brilliant. Honestly she must watch it!

Ihaveamind · 18/05/2020 21:42

These have a bit of the weepies in them, but good weepies.
Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe.

WeirdlyOdd · 18/05/2020 21:47

Clueless! It's fantastic, so clever despite its appearance, and based on Jane Austen's 'Emma'.
While You Were Sleeping
Love, Simon
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Bridget Jones possibly (quite a lot of sex)
Can you try her on Austen? The original RomComs

PetitsGateaux · 18/05/2020 21:49

MrsElf · 18/05/2020 22:28

Freaky friday
