This one’s not your typical rom-com, and that’s why it works. Jake (Jason Sudeikis) and Lainey (Alison Brie) meet again years after a one-night stand and quickly realize they’re both train wrecks when it comes to relationships.

Instead of diving into romance, they decide to keep things strictly platonic and help each other grow emotionally. But here is a spoiler: it’s harder than it sounds.

Directed by Leslye Headland, the movie is sharp, funny, and a little messy—kind of like real life. With great support from Adam Scott and Amanda Peet, this 2015 film brings a fresh, modern vibe to the rom-com genre.
