22 Romantic Comedies Streaming on Disney+ Right Now

You may not think Disney’s streaming service would be the ideal spot to find romantic comedies, but you’d be wrong. Tucked in with the classic animated films and Marvel movies, Disney+ has an impressive selection of rom-coms. Thanks in part to the company’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the streamer is home to gems like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Three Men and a Little Lady,” as well as Disney rom coms like “The Princess Diaries: A Royal Engagement.” You’re not going to find a comprehensive library of iconic romantic comedies, but there are more than enough nostalgic favorites on Disney+ to fill your queue with swoon-worthy goodness.
