It can be hard to find good movies to watch with your boyfriend when you have different tastes, but you both will definitely enjoy it.

As someone who is a movie buff and has a girlfriend to a boyfriend who isn’t the biggest fan of romantic movies, I can tell you that agreeing on a movie to watch can be complicated.

25. We’re the Millers

Another comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, but this one is rated much higher than R. With amazing casting like Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, and Nick Offerman, you can’t go wrong.
