Must-Watch Movies
Destination Wedding: Destination Wedding is the romantic comedy you need to recover from all those rom-coms that are unrealistic and cheesy. Starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, the plot centers around two people who are insufferable being forced to sit next to each other at a weekend destination wedding. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the dialogue keeps you hooked from start to finish. If you’re looking to fall in love, you’ll certainly have with these two actors by the finish. Available to rent on Amazon Prime, Youtube Movies, or anywhere else streaming movies are found.—Sydney Sebert
First Daughter: Samantha MacKenzie is your average soon-to-be college freshman, with the exception of one glaring irregularity: she’s the daughter of the President of the United States! Desperate for even a shred of normalcy in her extremely abnormal life, Sam pleads with her father for a reduced, less intrusive Secret Service detail while she’s away at school, and he begrudgingly agrees. However, once Sam discovers that Mr. POTUS didn’t exactly keep his promise, everything in her life—her relationship with her parents, her father’s re-election campaign, her pristine reputation, and her romance with her dreamy new boyfriend—begins to spiral out of control. Katie Holmes and Marc Blucas shine in this heartwarming 2004 rom-com that’s full of good humor, wholesome life lessons, and a mouth-dropping secret twist that’s sure to leave you shocked! Available on Hulu Premium and to rent on other streaming services.
