A cop and his wife finally go for their honeymoon on their 15th anniversary and end up being framed for a murder they didn’t commit.

Isn’t It Romantic (2019)
An introverted architect meets with an accident and falls unconscious. Waking up, she finds herself in an alternate universe where she’s the protagonist of her rom-com. Starring Rebel Wilson, this English language adult comedy movie is a quirky satire on all romantic comedies, with a realistic ending and adorable characters (think Adam Devine). Priyanka Chopra and Liam Hemsworth also completely nail their characters.
Barely Lethal (2015)
A teenage assassin fakes her death to start a new life and experience what it’s like to be a regular teenager. Hailee Steinfeld and Dove Cameron are as funny as they are sweet together. Although a little cheesy, the plot is certainly witty, and Samuel L Jackson makes it a whole lot better.
