To help make your weekend as entertaining as possible, we’ve rounded up three great movies to watch. So get on the couch, snack away and forget about life’s worries for a bit.
We’re starting with a rom-com about a singer – reeling from a broken heart and career meltdown – who takes a gig at a swanky island resort … where her ex-fiancé happens to be getting married. Then follow a story of hope, love and a celebration of life when a seriously ill family matriarch arranges for her family to return home for a final gathering. Or solve a mystery of what’s truly happening right alongside the main character who suspects her mother of keeping dark secrets, and decides to investigate.
In the wake of a career meltdown, aspiring pop star Erica lands a gig at her ex-fiance’s wedding at a luxurious island resort. She soon rediscovers her feelings for him as she tries to keep their past relationship a secret from his bride-to-be. Resort to love is now showing on Netflix.
Lily and Paul summon their loved ones to their beach house for one final gathering after Lily decides to end her long battle with ALS.
