Who says everything has to be romantic on Valentine's Day? We've got our top 10 picks of the most non-romantic comedies to binge-watch without even thinking about love stories and couples out in public.
Here's where to watch them all!
(500) Days of Summer (2009)
There is nothing more anti-romantic than watching (500) Days of Summer, a man left to realize throughout the movie that there was nothing between him and the girl he had been fantasizing about all this time.
Purchase or Rent: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV
Promising Young Woman (2020)
Promising Young Woman follows Cassandra through her elaborate plan for vengeance against the same men who threatened her best friend. If anything, the film is more of an eye-opening experience when it comes to spotting the "nice" guys who, in truth, are hiding something much darker than their seemingly friendly grins.
Streaming Platforms: HBO Max
Stardust (2007)
If you're looking for a fantasy romance that doesn't focus on the love story, Stardust has a similar vibe to The Princess Bride, which blends comedy and a compelling adventure in the magical kingdom of Stormhold.
Streaming Platforms: MGM+, Amazon Prime Video
Bridesmaids (2011)
One night stands, a wedding to plan, and two maids of honor in rivalry. Bridesmaids is not about the wedding or the love story; it focuses on Annie's struggles in establishing her role in her best friend, Lillian's life, which involves "beating" the other bridesmaid, Helen, at their game.

Blue Valentine (2011)
Valentine's Day is all about new beginnings, but Blue Valentine does the complete opposite: it's a marriage about to fall apart. Cindy and Dean's whirlwind romance came to bite them back as the film shows the intense love they once shared fade over time.
Purchase or Rent: Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video
Heathers (1989)
Veronica Sawyer isn't about romance herself. What she thought was a normal high school guy, J.D., turned out to be one of the most psychotic students out to get revenge on the cruelty of how high school is supposed to be.

Little Women (2019)
Little Women follows the tragic ending of the four sisters, Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth, from their childhood to their adult lives. Fans most prominently recognize the 2019 version thanks to Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan's most iconic yet heartbreaking confession scene of a love that can never be.

Marriage Story (2019)
