  • Each week, INSIDER rounds up a list of seven great movies to watch on Netflix over the weekend.
  • This week, we're taking a look at rom-coms in honor of Valentine's Day. From Netflix originals "The Breaker Upperers" to "Set It Up," here's what you may want to watch this weekend. 

There's so much content coming and going from Netflix that it can become difficult to find a movie to watch.

Each week, INSIDER selects new and old flicks you may not have realized are on the streaming service to ease your scrolling woes. In honor of Valentine's Day, we're adding a mix of rom-coms to the mix this week. 

You want to punch love in the face? Great. You want a mushy romantic comedy you can snuggle with your significant other to? Done. You want to palentines or galentines it up? We hear you. No matter what kind of relationship you're in — even if it's none at all and just one with yourself — there's a movie here for you. If all else fails, we know it’s Presidents' Day weekend, so we have one pick in here for Abraham Lincoln.

From "The Breaker Upperers" to "Lincoln," here are seven movies on the streaming service you should watch this weekend (along with their Rotten Tomatoes scores when available).

Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States.

"Set It Up" (2018)

Netflix description: "In desperate need of a break from the office, two beleaguered assistants team up to trick their workaholic bosses into falling in love."

Audience score: 69%

People love to talk about "A Christmas Prince" on Netflix, but if you haven't seen "Set It Up," starring Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs as two A-type bosses who get pushed together by their assistants, you're missing out. Netflix really started to own the romantic comedy space in 2018 and this was one of its finest releases for the chemistry between Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell. Many people could relate to two younger, overworked employees trying to please their bosses. 



"The Breaker Upperers" (2018)

Netflix description: "For the right price, BFFs Jen and Mel will ruthlessly end any romance. But when one of them grows a conscience, their friendship begins to unravel."

Critic score91%

Audience score: 53%

Don't have a date for Valentine's Day? No problem. Neither do Mel and Jen, and those best friends are perfectly OK with that. In fact, they rather break up other people's relationships. If you're looking for something quirky, "The Breaker Upperers" has a "Broad City" vibe. It also has some of the best karaoke we've ever seen performed in a movie with songs from Celine Dion and Boyz II Men. 



"I Love You, Man" (2009)

Netflix description: "A recently engaged guy who lacks a best man for his pending nuptials hunts for a candidate with wedding-party potential."

Critic score83%

Audience score74%

If you need more of a bromance, this beloved buddy comedy between Paul Rudd and Jason Segel will most certainly do. If their antics aren't enough, Andy Samberg and J.K. Simmons round out this hilarious cast.
