Sometimes it is nice to invite all your friends over for a girls night in. It’s an opportunity to break out the junk food and the wine while catching up. It’s also a chance to watch movies that you may not frequently get the opportunity to watch.
This is my personal top 7 movies currently on Netflix that are perfect for a girls night in. Some of the movies are added for nostalgia. Other movies are on the list because they are funny. And then there are some movies that are added because they are, currently, some of my favorite movies.
1. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Day
I remember this being one of the first movies that was a go-to at sleepovers in middle school and high school. So be ready for a nostalgic trip back to a simpler time! Andy is a magazine reporter who is writing a “How to Lose a Guy” how-to article. Ben is trying to win a bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 2 weeks. How will they be work through their conflicting objectives?
2. Leap Year
So this movie may hit a little to close to home for some of your friends who have been waiting patiently on their boyfriends to propose, but hopefully, the beautiful Irish setting and the Irish accents will help them enjoy the movie. Anna has been waiting on her boyfriend Jeremy to propose for some time. He is going to be in Ireland on February 29, so she decides to fly to Ireland to propose. Irish tradition states that if a woman proposes to a man on Leap Day, he must accept. She has many detours along the way to finding her very own happily ever after.
This is one of my favorite Netflix finds! This is a British comedy that also stars Anna Farris. Nat and Josh meet at a party and fall in love at first site. They then marry a couple of months later. They have very different personalities and many quirky friends and family members. Even the characters know that they are very different. At one point in the movie, Josh even mentions that he is a thinker and Nat is a doer. This movie follows the couple through their first year of marriage. Will they make it to their anniversary??
4. Candy Jar
This is a Netflix original movie that came out in April 2018. Bennett and Lona are two ambitious high school seniors. They are each other’s biggest competition in debate even though they go to the same high school. At the individual district competition, neither qualify for the state competition. It’s very important for these two kids to qualify to compete at state so they can add it to their college applications. So their last chance is to work together and compete as a team. Through the movie, the two students realize that they are more similar than they originally thought and slowly became friends.
This is one of the movies that I can watch it over and over again. Will is going through a divorce when he picks his daughter, Maya, up from school. That night Maya begs to hear the story about how Will and her mother meet. He didn’t want to tell her the story at first but eventually gives into her begging with one big exception. He wasn’t going to use the women’s real names. So Maya would have to figure out who her mom was. The movie is basically told in flashbacks of how he ended up in New York and eventually marrying her mom.
Jenna is a dorky unpopular girl in middle school. On her 13th birthday, she makes a wish to be 30. When she wakes up, she is 30 years old and living what she thinks is a perfect life. Over time, she realizes that the perfect life she thinks 30-year-old her is living isn’t quite what it seems. I remember watching this movie in high school when it came out, but it is a different viewing experience today. At that point, I was a dorky 14-year-old hoping that by the time I was 30 my life would be perfect. Today, as I am getting very close to 30 my life (for the most part) isn’t like the life I imagined at 14 and I’m totally ok with it. Like there is no way I can afford to fly in a helicopter to my 10-year high school reunion, nor would I want to because that is a huge waste of money.
7. When We First Met
This is another Netflix original movie that came out in 2018 that I found to be entertaining. Noah is hopelessly in love with his best friend Avery. They had chemistry when the first met at a Halloween party, but somehow he ended up in the friend’s zone later that night. He always wonders what went wrong, until he finds a magically photobooth that takes him back to that day. Will Noah and Avery finally end up together or will he figure out that the perfect person for him may not be exactly who he expects?
Now that you have a list of possible movies to watch, you can start planning your next girls night in!
