It’s time to bring out the popcorn; this monsoon there’s a slew of feel-good stories for you and your partner to dive into.

The movie follows Jill (Zoey Deutch) who continues to leave voicemails for her late sister after losing her to cancer.

We know dating is exhausting and now even the characters in those rom-coms are coming to realise it and the best example of that is Leah (Bailee Madison) in 40 Dates and 40 Nights. But what makes this interesting is one challenge. Leah goes on 40 dates in just 40 nights after she accepts a challenge from her grandmother. As she survives one disastrous date after another, she starts to realise that love isn’t something you can plan, rather an unexpected moment when everything just fits.
