Looking for some com in the Rom-com

I've spent the past few days in Netflix/prime looking for something decent to watch, allegedly called rom-comes,they might have the rom, but are rarely funny. I end up feeling as though I have wasted yet another couple of hours of my life.

Are there any funny ones out there, or should I just find some more good books? I know it's all a bit subjective, but anyone got any recommendations?

I also enjoyed "your Christmas or mine"
About fate
I quite like "the hating game"
Another vote for Love Hard from me.

Have you tried classic films? I’ve found a lot of the recent ones definitely lacking in the comedy department, and instead sought out some of the original romcoms. Movies like It Happened One Night (1934) have been a delight to discover.

Good advice. I'd recommend His Girl Friday, I Married a Male War Bride and Arsenic and Old Lace. There's a common theme there, as some may spot ...

The 1st Bridget Jones film is great. Watched it yesterday and so many little subtleties I missed on previous watching.

The Big Sick

We're the Millers (not sure its a romcom but is good)

Great films! Also brought to mind (although not a rom-com) the Bogart /Bacall banter in The Big Sleep.

'The wrong missy' on Netflix

Disaster strikes when a man invites his dream girl to an island resort, but a previous blind date with the same name shows up instead.
