These Romantic Summer Movies Are Must-Sees
In the '90s Never Been Kissed was one of those love stories that everyone wanted for themselves. Yes, it's problematic in that Josie fell in love with her professor, but the story itself was great for mixing comedy, romance and a little bit of heartbreak — something most of us can say we've experienced first-hand. Rom-coms and romantic dramas like that movie have always been enjoyable to watch, and thankfully, there are plenty of romantic summer 2017 movies coming out that fans of the genre will definitely not want to miss.
Whether you're in a situation-ship or all settled down with a loved one, the summer is a great time to shed a few layers and catch a romance flick in a cool theater with someone you care about. And if you've been single for some time and need to live vicariously through someone else, the romantic movies coming out in summer 2017 promise just that. You won't see too many rom-coms this summer, but what you can count on is the good old fashion love triangle and/or hopeless romance. If you're not bringing someone special to the theater, hopefully you can at least find your newfound favorite romantic movie in this list. Mark your calendars!
