6 Best Rom-Coms on HBO and Max Right Now (April 2025)

The best romantic comedies on HBO and Max this April include a Meryl Streep musical and a classic love story starring Renée Zellweger

This movie version of the jukebox musical is a sparkling, effervescent affair about Sophie ( Amanda Seyfried), a young woman desperate to learn the identity of her father before her wedding to Sky ( Dominic Cooper). Based on the bestselling 1996 novel, this sharp and hilarious rom-com follows Bridget Jones ( Renée Zellweger), an ordinary “singleton” with a habit of ending up in ridiculously awkward situations, as she documents her quest for self-improvement in a wine-soaked diary. Loosely inspired by Jane Austen ’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones’s Diary is an entertaining chronicle of its title heroine’s journey of growth, misjudged first impressions and realizing that love rarely goes according to plan.
