Netflix has stepped up to the plate with a selection of rom-coms that are sure to satisfy any craving for a feel-good film. Here, we've rounded up the seven best rom-coms currently available on the streaming platform this August.\n\nFirst up is \"Something's Gotta Give,\" starring Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. The classic rom-com is back on Netflix, offering a heartwarming tale of love in later life. Harry and Erica, the film's leads, are complete opposites, but their connection grows stronger as Harry is forced to care for Erica after a heart attack. Keanu Reeves also stars, adding to the film's charm.\n\nNext on the list is \"Always Be My Maybe.\" This modern rom-com explores an unlikely love story between childhood friends, Sasha and Marcus, played by Ali Wong and Randall Park. After a long-term relationship ends, Sasha returns home to reconnect with her old flame, leading to a series of comedic and tender moments. The film also stars Keanu Reeves, making it a triple treat for fans of the iconic actor.\n\nFor those in the mood for some quirky and humorous entertainment, \"Hit Man\" is a perfect choice. The movie stars Glen Powell as Gary Johnson, a college professor who pretends to be a hitman for hire. The film's standout scene features Powell and Adria Arjona, a college student, engaging in a playful argument via text message.
