Because we all want to believe in happily ever after—even if only for a couple of hours

Suicide and incest -> not the most orthodox source material for a romantic comedy. But thanks to a doo-wop heavy soundtrack, a little magical realism, and a pair of promising leads (Jess Weixler and Thomas Middleditch), we have high hopes for this indie about a guy falling for the girl who was almost his sister.

'Permission'

The gist: a Brooklyn couple who've only been with each other test their relationship by sleeping with other people. Dan Stevens and Rebecca Hall play the said sweethearts, and judging from the trailer, something tells us this one's as full of heartbreaking moments as it is comedic ones.

Not sure what's more exciting: a first date that doesn't tank or the anticipation for Becky Albertalli's triumph, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, to hit the big screen. Nick Robinson stars as the titular teen in love with an anonymous classmate, and the best part? Jack Antonoff's on soundtrack duty.

And now in "remakes we never asked for" news: Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez take the 1987 classic for a gender-switching spin. Granted, a slapstick rom-com that turns kidnapping an amnesiac into a would-be meet cute could be an epic disaster, but, hey, at least they're trying something new 🙄

Ol Parker's ABBA-tuned saga whisks audiences back to the Greek islands 10 years after the events of Mamma Mia! This time, we keep Sophie's pregnancy a secret, dig into Donna's past courtesy of Lily James as young Donna, and patiently await the arrival of Grandma—otherwise known as Cher.

Kevin Kwan made people pee their pants with his crazy-hilarious summer 2014 debut, about a bunch of snooty Singaporeans who converge for a wedding. Now, no theater seat is safe, since the brothers Warner are bringing the soapy riot to decadent life with an all-star cast led by Constance Wu.

One woman's heart is torn between her fiancé and her ex in this culture-clasher that translates to Valentina's Wedding. Though that premise may sound mundane, things do get complicated—like when Valentina agrees to a sham marriage with her ex to avoid negative press during her father's re-election.
