    A new high school romantic comedy is hitting Netflix, just in time for back-to-school season.

    The streamer dropped the official trailer on Thursday, introducing Jodi (Ava Michelle), the tallest girl in her high school. At 6-foot-1, she towers over her family and classmates, and she’s gotten used to feeling like her height is the only thing people see about her. That makes dating hard, as the preview shows.

    “I just think it’s crazy you won’t date a short guy,” her friend Jack (Griffin Gluck) says. “You really that at any moment some taller-than-you perfect guy is just going to walk through that door?”

    Well, guess what, one does: an exchange student named Stig (Luke Eisner). His arrival sets up a love triangle with Jack as Jodi works to find her inner confidence. Watch below.

    The rom-com was directed by Nzingha Stewart from a script by Sam Wolfson.

    “Tall Girl” starts streaming on Netflix on Sept. 13.

    It’s almost time for Netflix’s latest rom-com.

    The streamer dropped the official trailer for “Falling Inn Love” on Tuesday, and it looks clichéd in the best possible way. The preview introduces Gabriela (Christina Milian), a city girl who moves to New Zealand after losing her boyfriend and job in San Francisco. There, she has plans to restore an inn she won online — but she’ll need the help of a hunky Kiwi contractor named Jake (Adam Demos). Of course, sparks will fly, complicating things when a Gabriela gets a new job offer back home.

    While we don’t foresee any Oscar wins for “Falling in Love,” the trailer offers pure escapist fun. There’s the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand, a cute if (probably) predictable love story, and even an entertaining goat. This could be another rom-com hit for Netflix, which found success last year with its so-called “Summer of Love.” Watch below.

    “Falling Inn Love” is directed by Roger Kumble from a script by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy. The rom-com starts streaming on Netflix on Aug. 29.

    Netflix heard its subscribers’ demand for more rom-coms — and more Noah Centineo — and has delivered on both fronts in “The Perfect Date,” a new film starring the dreamy breakout from “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.”

    In the flick, Centineo plays Brooks, a high schooler poised to attend an Ivy League school — if only he could afford it. Enter Celia (Laura Marano), a straight-talking teen who gets him to pose as her boyfriend in exchange for some quick cash, and plants the idea to start his own dating service.

    Brooks creates his own app, allowing potential dates to customize their boyfriend experience to their liking, choosing his personality, his interests, and his clothes, all for a price. But when he finally lands a date with his dream girl (Camila Mendes), he realizes she might not be exactly what he wants after all.

    “I’ve been so many people these past few months: A cowboy, an art connoisseur, and a bad friend,” Brooks says. “It’s time to figure out who I am.”

    Brooks and audiences will find out the answer when “The Perfect Date” hits Netflix on April 12.
