Summer Romantic Movies Preview 2024.

Romance is back — here are the must-watch romances and romantic comedies coming to screens big and small this season.

By Tim Appelo, AARP. Published July 05, 2024.

Sometime around 2010, cinematic romance ran out of steam. The romantic comedy genre in particular fell out of favor for years. But in 2024, romantic movies are back big-time.

The Sydney Sweeney–Glen Powell rom-com Anyone But You was a $220 million theatrical blockbuster last December, got rereleased with new footage on Valentine’s Day and then became Netflix’s No. 1 streaming hit this April. Hit Man, also starring Glen Powell, which grafts a fictional love story onto the amazing true tale of a professor who moonlighted as a fake assassin for the New Orleans police, has been a top-10 Netflix hit for weeks, and The Idea of You, with Anne Hathaway as a single mom who kindles a fling with the Harry Styles–like 24-year-old lead singer (Nicholas Galitzine) of her teenage daughter’s fave boy band, is a Prime Video smash, especially among AARP viewers.
