40+ OF THE FEEL-GOOD MOVIES ON PRIME VIDEO RIGHT NOW!

---

We all love a good flick, from many a different genre, every now and then. But here’s the thing, if you are anything at all like me, you’re very into a feel-good kind of movie right now. This inspires lists like this such as the feel-good movies on Prime Video. How many shall we find? Time (and research!) will tell. Let’s dive in.

LIST | SUMMER 2025 TV SHOWS: DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW + RETURNING FAVORITES

SEE A FEW OF THE FEEL-GOOD MOVIES ON PRIME VIDEO RIGHT NOW! #PrimeVideos #GoodMovies #FeelGoodMovies #Comedies Share on X

At first glance, it seems there are some “classics,” and some that are more underrated, but let’s see what types we find. Full transparency, I haven’t seen many of these, but they are tagged with comedy or the feel-good tag, so I’m relying on that. The titles on this list aren’t all “the best” in an objective sense or that they all boast high ratings, but the purpose of this list is first and foremost just fun, and secondly to offer some titles they will leave us with a smile, even if the movie is a bit shaky in its production.

Hopefully, whatever the result of this, under the happier tags these do share, there is some variety of titles.

note; movies are added and removed often from streaming services. this was first published in summer 2025, which means many of these are now gone. below are 2026 updates on where to see them, and if the film is no longer on Prime Video, it will have an asterisk. a few 2026 titles have been added as well!

---

9 to 5

A classic 80s comedy that is still very well loved and rewatched today. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton play career women who take revenge on their arrogant boss.

The film is PG for innuendo and sexual references.

Synopsis: Three female employees of a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot find a way to turn the tables on him. – via Prime Video

THE ACCIDENTAL HUSBAND*

Colin Firth plays in this comedy as a man about to marry a radio host relationship expert, played by Uma Thurman when a snag (aka she’s married!) prevents their wedding from moving forward! This one is, admittedly, cute and is a film I do rewatch now and then. Only, if you like a certain leading man to always win, this may be one to skip.

PG-13 is the rating of this film for innuendo, a sex scene and some profanity.

You can now stream this film with Peacock. Find the film on Tubi or Roku.

AFTER the BALL

This one isn’t “perfect” and is a lesser-known kind of “b” budget film that is set in the modern fashion world and retells the Cinderella fable. It’s sweet despite its fumbles.

Synopsis: After a young fashion designer runs afoul of her corrupt stepmother and stepsisters, she dons a disguise to help save the family business for her father. – via Prime Video

PG is the rating

AGENT CODY BANKS and AGENT CODY BANKS 2: DESTINATION LONDON*

Frankie Muniz features as the titular character in this film pair about a teen recruited by the CIA. The movies are silly and suffer from some so-so stunts and mediocre save-the-world plots, but like I said, they are both way too fun to complain much about and each has something fun about it like the first also has a young Hilary Duff, and the sequel one takes us to London.

PG is the rating for some mild innuendo and some “tense” action / adventure scenes

Digitally purchase these films on places like Prime Video; or find the films streaming with Tubi TV or Roku.

BETTING on the BRIDE

Favorite TV star Peter Mooney (from Burden of Truth) stars in this title that is a kind of reimagining of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The plot is about a “womanizer” who makes a bet he can get someone to say yes to his marriage proposal in a mere thirty days. Karissa Lee Staples co-stars.

PG-13 is the rating of this film

Synopsis: A womanizer bets that he can get someone to accept his marriage proposal after dating him for just 30 days. What he doesn’t know is that the woman he has targeted has some serious commitment issues. – via Prime Video

BLIND DATING

In a role that was pre-everybody-knows-his-name, Chris Pine features in this as a young man who is blind, and much to his disdain, he attracts every woman in his path from his therapist to his doctor. The film is, largely silly, but again, it’s just fun and as that’s what we’re aiming for, it feels appropriate to put this one on the list.

PG-13 is the rating for suggestive conversations / innuendo, profanity

Synopsis: A blind young man (Pine) thinks he finds love with an Indian woman (Jay), though their relationship is fraught with cultural differences. – via Prime Video

THE DUFF

Based on the novel by the same name, this follows a teen who learns she’s considered the ugly friend of everyone and despite starting to fall for the cool, hot guy, she has to figure out how to get through life without feeling like the person everyone snarks on.

This film is PG-13 for sexual content and rude jokes.

Synopsis: A high-school senior (Mae Whitman) sets out to reinvent herself and revolutionize the student body’s social order after learning that a judgmental classmate has given her an embarrassing nickname. – via Prime Video

EMMA. (2020)

This is the latest version of Emma to be adapted and it stars Johnny Flynn and Anya Taylor-Joy. This version is quite different than how we usually see Emma but many seemed to love this one about the famous Jane Austen heroine who meddles by trying to matchmake everyone nearly missing her own ideal match.

The film is PG for and has minor innuendo.

Synopsis: Anya Taylor-Joy stars as the mischievous Emma who meddles in the love lives of those around her in this film based on Jane Austen’s novel. – via Prime VIdeo

FINDING LOVE in SAINT LUCIA

According to its Prime Video description, this heartwarming comedy title says it’s about “an Ornithologist and a Journalist partner up to save an endangered bird species in the jungle of Santa Lucia. They immediately fall in love with the nature, and in the process, they’ll also fall in love with each other.”

The Prime Video page gives this one a 7+ rating which I’m assuming is sort of a PG rating

FIVE BLIND DATES

An exclusive to Prime Video when it released (in 2023), this is an underrated gem that’s “silly,” but really quite cute. It’s about a woman who learns she’ll meet her LOML match in one of her next five dates.

PG-13 is the rating for this film, which has some sensuality and mild innuendo (a suggestion asks if a couple slept together, and if bothered, one character is attracted to the same sex); likely some profanity, too.

Synopsis: More focused on her business than finding love, Lia is forced to go on five blind dates set up by her family and best friend after she is told by a fortune teller that her love life and the success of her tea shop are intertwined. – via Prime Video

GUYS and DOLLS

A musical from 1955, this is another I saw years ago, but don’t ask me to remember the details. The Prime Video page describes it as a story about “a gambler bets he can woo a Salvation Army missionary.”

PG is the rating

Synopsis: A gambler bets he can woo a Salvation Army missionary. – via Prime Video

HOW to MURDER YOUR WIFE*

This title is really silly, but it’s oddly entertaining too. It follows Jack Lemmon’s bachelor who ends up married much to his and his devoted butler’s disappointment.

PG-13 is the rating for innuendo and a couple in bed undressed (they are covered with sheets).

Stream this film with MGM+; or digitally purchase on places like Prime Video

IF the SHOE FITS

A kind of modern Cinderella story, Jennifer Grey stars in this as an assistant who has real talent as a designer and Rob Lowe plays the fashion designer who may help her find a career in high end fashion.

PG is the rating.

Synopsis: Rob Lowe stars as a high end fashion designer and Jennifer Grey as his dressing room assistant in this charming take on the Cinderella story. – via Prime Video

IT HAD to be YOU

This is an underrated romantic dramedy that’s quite cute. The trope does annoy some people because it’s about a couple who meet while planning their respective weddings. Naturally, there is a romance and that will bother some. I think how it’s done is actually really nice (and restrained), and the plot also gives time and perspective where we, and the characters, need it.

PG is the rating for this one which has some innuendo

Synopsis: A man starts to fall for another woman as the pair cross paths while their partners are away and they plan their respective weddings together. – via Prime Video

JUST GETTING STARTED

In the witness protection program, an ex-FBI agent and ex lawyer have to work together in order to thwart a mob hit. Tommy Lee Jones, Morgan Freeman and Rene Russo star.

PG-13 is the rating which is likely for profanity.

Synopsis: An ex-F.B.I. Agent and an ex-mob lawyer in the Witness Protection Program have to put aside their petty rivalry on the golf course to fend off a mob hit. – via Prime Video

KILLERS

This one is an action comedy that is a bit ridiculous in places, but is also such good fun. It has Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher playing a happy suburban married couple who encounter trouble, like assassins (!!), when the past returns to threaten their happy future.

This film is PG-13 for action violence and some intense-ness.

Synopsis: A vacationing woman meets her ideal man, leading to a swift marriage. Back at home, however, their idyllic life is upset when they discover their neighbors could be assassins who have been contracted to kill the couple. – via Prime Video

LEGALLY BLONDE

The classic with Reese Witherspoon is a flick we all love, a lot. Some of us detest the sequel (it’s not as good), but this fist film about a stereotyped “ditzy” blonde who makes waves and impresses at Harvard is a classic all its own. It also has the iconic “What? Like it’s hard” movie quote line which Witherspoon delivers well.

PG-13 is the rating for some sensuality / mild innuendo and some profanity

Synopsis: Elle has it all. She’s president of her sorority, a natural blonde, and she dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus. There’s just one thing stopping him from popping the question: Elle is too blonde. So, when he packs up for Harvard Law, Elle rallies all her resources and gets into Harvard, determined to win him back. – via Prime Video

LETTERS to JULIET

Amanda Seyfried stars in this film about a woman who travels to Italy with her boyfriend only to spend all of her time alone rather than with him because of his work focus. In this time, she discovers the Juliet letters and learns of a long ago romance that missed its chance for happily ever after.

PG is the film’s rating.

Synopsis: In modern Verona, where women seeking their Romeos leave letters to Juliet, a young writer (Amanda Seyfried) finds a life-altering 50-year-old letter. – via Prime Video

LOVE ACCIDENTALLY

“Alexa and Jason are competing for a position at an advertising firm when their partners break up with them. Alexa mistakenly texts Jason, and they start a phone-only relationship. When they meet and the truth comes out, will true love prevail?” – Prime Video

13+ is the film’s rating

THE LOVE PUNCH

One of those really fun titles, this has Emma Thompson and Pierce Bronson starring as exes who decide to join forces to recover the retirement money that they’ve lost. The film is a kind of fun caper style that made me laugh a lot.

PG-13 is the rating for some sexual innuendo and profanity.  

Synopsis: Set in the French Riviera, The Love Punch brings together Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson in a feel good romantic comedy about an estranged couple who, after having their pension stolen by a crooked businessman, must reunite to steal it back. – via Prime Video

LOVEWRECKED

A silly teen comedy, this is set on an island about a girl (who Amanda Bynes plays) who takes on a summer job at a resort where the pop star she idolizes stays. Though it really falls too much into the goofy, this film is cute if you want something that doesn’t require thought.

PG is the rating.

Synopsis: After saving the life of her favorite rock star (Chris Carmack), a teenager (Amanda Bynes) takes him to a nearby island and tells him that they are castaways. – via Prime Video

MADHOUSE

Kirstie Alley stars in this film about a “obnoxious relatives and neighbors wear out their welcome in the new home of a yuppie couple.” – Prime Video

PG-13 is the rating

MCLINTOCK

A ridiculous but also funny western, I’m guessing most modern audiences take issue with this film, but it does inspire laughs. A wealthy rancher who knows everyone, what John Wayne’s titular character doesn’t know how to handle is the return of his ex, the fiery Maureen O’Hara.

13+ is the rating on its Prime Video page.

Synopsis: A wealthy rancher leverages his influence to maintain harmony among farmers, ranchers, land-grabbers, Native Americans, and corrupt officials in the territory. – via Prime Video

MOONSTRUCK

Cher and Nicholas Cage team up in this comedy about “a Brooklyn bookkeeper falls for her fiancé’s brother.”

PG is the film

MY SPY and MY SPY 2

These action and adventure flicks are lots of fun. It’s about a smart CIA operative who is stuck on a mission watching and surveilling a woman, the ex of a criminal the agency wants, and her daughter. The film is adorable and even has a fun follow-up sequel with the primary two leading cast returning.

PG-13 is the rating for some action violence and profanity, too.

ONCE I WAS ENGAGED

This one has a woman becoming engaged in Hawaii and then has to deal with the over-the-top plans her mother has for her wedding, which is perhaps to turn her daughter’s happy ending into a bit of a planning disaster.

The film is a G / PG rating  

Synopsis: When Bree gets engaged in Hawaii, her loving but over-the-top mom is not OK with her decision at first. But both mother and daughter must overcome the pressure of perfection when this happily ever after story doesn’t go quite as expected. – via Prime Video

ONE SMALL HITCH   

Childhood friends meet again on a flight home and agree to play pretend (with an engagement!) in order to make his family happy. I watched part of this film a long time ago and if I remember right, it does turn unexpectedly bittersweet because of the illness of a family member, but the film remains upbeat and silly and overall, funny.

PG-13 is the rating of this one

Synopsis: On a flight home to Chicago for a family wedding, childhood friends Josh and Molly agree to fake an engagement for Josh’s dying father. Things get crazy when their two boisterous families collide and cause them to start planning a phony wedding. – via Prime Video

THE OTHER ZOEY*

This one uses the amnesia trope to tell its rom-com story and is about a guy who, after a minor accident, comes to believe that the girl he sees when he wakes up is his girlfriend. Josephine Langford stars in this 2023 film.

PG-13 is the rating for this film which says this rating is, in part, for “suggestive references” and some language.

You can now digitally purchase this film on Prime Video

OVERBOARD, 1987* and 2018

This one is fun! More so than I remembered. I saw it years ago and rewatched it recently-ish. It has real-life couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The plot is about Hawn’s wealthy and sometimes entitled woman who ends up losing her memory and after being ill-treated by her during a job on her yacht, Russell’s blue collar single dad convinces her she’s a working mum of his sons. In 2018, the film also got remade and is the same concept only with Anna Faris and a gender reversal of the characters.

PG-13 is the rating for sexual innuendo.

Synopsis: A spoiled, wealthy yacht owner is thrown overboard and becomes the target of revenge from his mistreated employee. – via Prime Video (2018) version

You can still stream the 2018 version with Prime Video, but can now stream the 1978 version with MGM+ or digitally purchase it with Prime Video.

THE PAJAMA GAME

Doris Day stars in this film that is tagged as a comedy. The plot follows the head of a pajama company’s “grievance committee” who fall for an exec. The film is from 1957 and according to its Prime Video page, it says it’s one of the “finest film adaptation of a hit Broadway musical.”

13+ is its page rating, but I think it’s more of a PG rating.

Synopsis: Labor and management at the Sleeptite Pajama Factory aren’t sleeping much lately: A proposed 7 1⁄2-cent hourly wage increase is why – and a strike may result. – via Prime Video

PERSONALLLY YOURS

A divorced couple, sharing three children, start to move on, and then their kids try to find a new mate for their dad only to learn that the match he once had is actually his perfect one. Valerie Bertinelli, Jeffrey Nordling and a young Emily Tennant (known to Hallmark fans) star.

PG-13 is the rating, and if I’m remembering right (it’s been years since I saw this), there is a sex scene (relatively non-graphic)

Synopsis: Susannah and Jesse Stanton divorced two years prior with three children. When Susannah starts dating a lawyer, the children decide to find someone for their father, sending a letter to a popular magazine called Alaskan Love. – via Prime Video

PICTURE THIS, 2025

If, while browsing Prime Video, you think this one sounds familiar, well, that is fair. This film has an impressive cast (Simone Ashley and Hero Fiennes Tiffin) but is nearly a “copy and paste” version of Five Blind Dates. It’s about a woman learning she’ll meet the man meant for her in one of her next dates. It’s still cute despite the repeat story.

R is the rating for this. It has some profanity including the F-word and some innuendo (including jokes about threesomes or other types of sex; one character is attracted to the same sex if this bothers you).

Synopsis: In this heartfelt rom-com, struggling photographer Pia (Simone Ashley) receives a prediction: true love awaits in her next five dates. – via Prime Video

THE SIX WIVES of HENRY LEFAY

This title is silly and quite ridiculous in many ways. It has Tim Allen playing a man who has been married many times. It follows his daughter who learns her father, who she is estranged from, has died. In case you think I’m adding this title in error, I am not. Trust me, this one is a funny and “feel-good” movie.

PG-13 is the rating for sexual references / sexual acts and content.

Synopsis: After Henry Lefay (Tim Allen) disappears while skydiving and is presumed dead, his daughter Barbara (Elisha Cuthbert) is left to make the funeral arrangements. – via Prime Video

SOMETHING FROM TIFFANY’S

Zoey Deutch stars in this film about a woman who has her life changed by “an engagement ring” that is meant for someone else. I never did watch this film that is described as a seasonal romance (and it is tagged as a comedy, but is is also bittersweet?), but having loved Zoey in Set It Up, I’m excited about this one.

The film is PG

SPACE CADET

Emma Roberts stars in this silly flick about a young woman who dreams of going to space. The movie isn’t a favorite, but I did think it was fun for a kind of “mindless” bit of entertainment. Plus, it has a little bit of everything for those of us who enjoy multiple genres.

PG-13 is the rating for this which is for some innuendo and profanity.

Synopsis: Tiffany “Rex” Simpson (Emma Roberts) has always dreamed of going to space, and her “doctored” application lands her in NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. – via Prime Video

STARS FELL on ALABAMA

Set in a small town, Stars Fell on Alabama follows an actress who pretends to be the girlfriend of an agent who is back home for a reunion.

PG-13 is this film’s rating.

THIS LITTLE LOVE of MINE

This film is all about a woman who, now working as a lawyer, returns to the island where she grew up in order to convince a friend that he should accept an inheritance and take over the family business. This one is a cute little film that has a nice tropical setting which makes it an ideal little summer setting.

The film is TV-G and really doesn’t have anything worth mentioning.

Synopsis: A workaholic lawyer returns to her island home to convince an old friend to take over his family’s company. – via Prime Video

THIS TIME NEXT YEAR

This one is pure delight. Originally brought to the U.S. on Roku, this British comedy is based on the Sophie Cousens novel (of the same name) and follows two people who were born on the same day, and serendipitously they meet on their respective birthdays. The story follows them for about a year and it is quite charming.

PG-13 is the rating for some sexual content; it’s relatively minor though.

Synopsis: Born on the same day, Minnie and Quinn live in completely different worlds – until fate steps in. – via Prime Video

THREE MEN and a BABY

This classic 80s comedy is one that will probably ruffle some feathers, but honestly, I think it’s still fun even if it does have some fumbles. It shows change in some of the characters and we get to watch them learn the value of caring selfishly for someone else and see a kind of unique family form in an era when this type of storytelling wasn’t trending. Tom Selleck leads a cast about three guys who unexpectedly raise a baby.

The film is PG and has sexual content and innuendo.

Synopsis: Handsome and successful men trade wine, women and song for diapers. – via Prime Video

YOU’RE CORDIALLY INVITED

Another Reese Witherspoon led comedy, this one has her as a “type a” perfectionist who takes on planning her sister’s wedding. Will Ferrell plays the father of a bride whose wedding is double booked on the same day as the sister of Witherspoon’s character.

The film has an R-rating for some crude innuendo and several uses of the F-word.

YOURS, MINE and OURS, 2005

Yes, there is also a version of this from the 1960s (which is also with Prime Video), but in this remake Lucille Ball’s part is taken on by Rene Russo while Dennis Quaid (previously Henry Fonda played the role) plays the by-the-books military man. The story is much the same (with a few modernisms thrown in) about a woman who meets a man and after a whirlwind romance they marry and work to comingle their families. Although in this 2005 version, the lead couple did know each other in the past and the ‘ours’ part of the title is about unity.

PG is the film’s rating.

Synopsis: A widowed Coast Guard Admiral and a widow handbag designer fall in love and marry, much to the dismay of her 10 and his 8 children. – via Prime Video

YOU’VE GOT MAIL*

Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks co-star (in a reunion pair up) in this beloved romantic comedy film about two people who end up writing to each other and fall in love through those letters only to unknowingly loathe each other in real life.

The film has a PG rating for some minor crude humor or innuendo.

You can digitally purchase this with Prime Video or find it now streaming with Paramount+
