14 Movies Like To All The Boys If You’re Craving More Romantic & Coming-Of-Age Stories

Based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You stars Julia Stiles and the late Heath Ledger, as well as a seriously star-studded supporting lineup (Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Gabrielle Union!). If that alone isn't reason enough to watch, the film's familiar high school setting — from peer pressure to new relationships to adorable declarations of love on the school athletic field — mirrors everything you love about Lara Jean and her world.

Like To All the Boys, this classic rom-com also features a single dad and doctor (albeit not quite as cool as Dr. Covey) looking out for his daughters as they deal with the tricky world of dating.

From the moment we meet her in To All The Boys I've Loved Before, we know that Lara Jean loves romantic novels and daydreaming about great love. She literally fantasizes about meeting one of her crushes in a field, and if that doesn't say Pride and Prejudice, nothing does. Not only is this one of the most charming romances ever committed to film, it's a feel-good story about family and sisterhood, too. Lara Jean would be proud.

A must-watch hidden gem on Netflix, Carrie Pilby tells the story of a 19-year-old genius who lives in New York and deals with loneliness, relationships, and the reality of growing up before you're ready. The titular character (played by Bel Powley) discusses these concerns with a friendly therapist who suggests a series of milestones Carrie can pursue to become more comfortable with the world.

This charming movie, which also stars the iconic Nathan Lane, is directed by Susan Johnson, who helmed To All the Boys I've Loved Before. From the thoughtful protagonist to the calm, dreamy atmosphere, the similarities are clear to see.

Starring Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz, Laggies is a playful cult favorite in the coming-of-age canon. While we watch Moretz's character go through the throes of high school, it's really Knightley's character, Megan, who truly grows up — ditching her adolescent ways and finally making adult decisions at the tender age of 28, all while falling in love with Sam Rockwell as a single dad. It's a cute movie and, just like the To All the Boys series, provides plenty of pretty Pacific Northwest cinematography.

If you've ultimately come to the (correct) conclusion that Lara Jean's dad, Dr. Covey, is actually the best guy in the whole series, you'll want to watch Sex and the City and the series' subsequent movies. John Corbett makes an appearance in the second film as Carrie's the-one-that-got-away, right as she's having doubts about her current, seemingly perfect relationship. (Sounds kind of like Peter and John Ambrose, right?)

A recent adaptation of a Jane Austen novel, Emma. feels incredibly modern. Even if you're not typically a period piece person, you are sure to appreciate the familiar faces (including The Queen's Gambit's Anya Taylor-Joy) and picturesque, finely tuned aesthetic.

Just like Lara Jean has the coolest bedroom and wardrobe, so too does Emma embrace her individuality and protagonist vibes through a carefully curated ensemble. And, of course, there's the unlikely love story at the heart of it all.

2018 was a big year for Netflix rom-coms, with both To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Set It Up making a splash and breathing new life into the genre. In Set It Up, Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell play exhausted corporate assistants who want their respective bosses to chill out. Naturally, they hatch a plan to get their bosses together so they can be happier, less work-obsessed people. Ultimately, though, the two schemers develop a budding relationship of their own.

Taye Diggs, Lucy Liu, and Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson round out the cast of this movie that, much like To All the Boys, pays homage to the films before it while still adding something new to the genre.
