Romantic Comedy Movies Like 10 Things I Hate About You

She’s the Man

Viola is a high school soccer player who’s devastated when her team gets cut. But she doesn’t let that stop her from playing the sport she loves. With a wild plan in mind, she disguises herself as her twin brother, Sebastian, and takes his place at his new boarding school. There, she joins the boys’ soccer team, determined to prove that she can compete with the best of them.

Things get really complicated when Viola starts to fall for her handsome roommate, Duke, who’s completely unaware of her true identity. To make matters even crazier, Duke has his eyes on Olivia, a girl who ends up crushing on Viola—thinking she’s Sebastian! It’s a whirlwind of mistaken identities, secret crushes, and hilarious moments as Viola tries to juggle it all without blowing her cover.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

Lara Jean Covey is just your average high school girl with an extraordinary knack for keeping secrets—specifically, love letters. She’s written a bunch of them to every boy she’s ever had a crush on, but of course, they’re safely tucked away in a box where no one would ever find them. Or so she thinks. Cue the drama when those letters mysteriously get mailed out, and suddenly, every guy she’s ever liked knows exactly how she feels. Yep, that’s not awkward at all.

Among the lucky recipients is Peter Kavinsky, the popular guy who somehow thinks this could be a golden opportunity to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. So, naturally, they fake a relationship—because what could possibly go wrong there? As they navigate the fine line between fake and real feelings, Lara Jean finds herself in one chaotic mess after another, all while trying to keep her cool and figure out what she really wants.

She’s All That

Zack Siler, the king of high school popularity, just got dumped by his equally popular girlfriend right before prom. Clearly, the only logical solution to his bruised ego is to prove that he can turn any random girl into the next prom queen. Enter Laney Boggs, the artsy, awkward girl who’s too busy painting and wearing glasses to care about social hierarchies. Naturally, Zack thinks she’s the perfect candidate for his little experiment.

So, with a quick makeover—because, you know, taking off glasses and putting on a dress instantly makes someone prom queen material—Zack starts to realize that Laney might be more than just a bet. As he spends more time with her, he’s caught off guard by his actual feelings. Meanwhile, Laney’s just trying to figure out why the most popular guy in school is suddenly interested in her. It’s not like he’s hiding anything, right?

The DUFF

Bianca is your typical high school junior—funny, smart, and content hanging out with her two best friends. But everything flips upside down when she finds out a shocking label has been attached to her: The DUFF, which stands for “Designated Ugly Fat Friend.” It’s a term that’s supposed to mean she’s the less attractive friend that makes her pals look better. Ouch, right? But what’s even worse is that it’s her charming and annoyingly attractive neighbor, Wesley, who breaks the news to her.

Instead of taking it lying down, Bianca decides she’s going to change her image and get out of the DUFF zone. To do that, she strikes a deal with Wesley—he’ll help her with a makeover, and in return, she’ll help him pass his classes. As they spend more time together, things get interesting, and Bianca starts to question what really matters when it comes to friendship, popularity, and being true to yourself.

The Kissing Booth

Elle Evans has been best friends with Lee Flynn since forever, but there’s one big problem—she’s secretly crushing on Lee’s older brother, Noah. In the complicated world of high school, Elle and Lee come up with an idea to run a kissing booth at the school carnival, which seems innocent enough. But when Elle ends up kissing Noah in front of everyone, things spiral out of control, leaving Elle caught between her best friend and the guy she never thought she’d have a chance with.

Navigating her feelings for Noah while trying to maintain her friendship with Lee, Elle finds herself in a whirlwind of teenage drama that seems impossible to escape. The more she tries to keep things under control, the more everything seems to unravel, leading her to question whether she can really have it all—her best friend and the guy she’s falling for—or if she’ll end up losing everything she holds dear. It’s a curious dance of secrets, emotions, and the awkwardness of growing up.
