Six must-watch rom-com movies on OTT if you loved Voicemails for Isabelle: One Day to Sleepless in Seattle

If Voicemails for Isabelle left you laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next, you're definitely not alone. Netflix's latest romantic comedy, starring Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson, serves up all the ingredients of a feel-good rom-com—awkward misunderstandings, crackling chemistry, and plenty of heart-fluttering moments. But just when you think it's all fun and romance, the film takes an emotional turn by exploring grief through the story of a young woman whose voicemails to her late sister unexpectedly reach a stranger.

Fair warning: keep a box of tissues nearby. And if you've already finished the film but aren't quite ready to leave its emotional world behind, you're in luck. We've rounded up six movies like Voicemails for Isabelle that deliver the same perfect mix what we experienced in the movie.



Sleepless in Seattle
If you enjoy romances that are emotional without being overly dramatic, Sleepless in Seattle deserves a spot on your watchlist. Directed by Nora Ephron, the 1993 classic follows Sam, a widowed father whose young son secretly calls a national radio show in the hope of finding his father a new partner. Across the country, journalist Annie hears the broadcast and becomes intrigued by a man she has never met.

Starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, the film is filled with warmth, witty conversations and memorable moments that have made it one of Hollywood's most-loved romantic comedies. It is currently streaming on Netflix and Prime Video.

One Day
One Day is perfect for viewers who enjoy slow-burn romances with plenty of emotional twists. Starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, the film follows Emma and Dexter, who first meet on the night of their graduation. Instead of telling their story continuously, the movie revisits their lives on the same date every year over two decades.

As they chase careers, make mistakes and navigate failed relationships, their connection continues to evolve. Funny, heartfelt and deeply emotional, One Day builds towards an unforgettable ending that stays with viewers long after the credits roll. The film is available to stream on JioHotstar.



Love Again
If Voicemails for Isabelle touched you with its story of grief and unexpected love, Love Again offers a similar emotional experience. Directed by James C. Strouse, the romantic comedy-drama follows a grieving woman who continues sending text messages to her late fiancé's old phone number, unaware that it now belongs to someone else.

The film stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan, while legendary singer Celine Dion makes her feature film acting debut as a fictional version of herself. Along with its emotional storyline, the movie also features several original songs by Dion, making it a comforting watch for romance lovers.

About Time
Few romantic films balance humour, family relationships and life lessons as beautifully as About Time. Directed by Richard Curtis, the film stars Domhnall Gleeson as a young man who discovers he can travel through time and decides to use his gift to improve his love life.

Along the way, he falls in love with Rachel McAdams' character, but the story gradually reveals that its biggest strength lies in celebrating everyday moments with family and loved ones. More than just a romance, About Time is a touching reminder to appreciate life's simple joys. It is currently streaming on Netflix.

Love, Rosie
Friendship, missed opportunities and second chances take centre stage in Love, Rosie. Based on Cecelia Ahern's bestselling novel Where Rainbows End, the film follows childhood best friends Rosie and Alex, who spend years circling around their true feelings without ever getting the timing right.

Lily Collins and Sam Claflin deliver charming performances as two people whose lives keep pulling them apart despite their undeniable connection. Filled with humour, romance and emotional moments, the movie is an ideal pick for anyone who enjoys stories about destiny and lifelong love. It is available on Netflix and Prime Video in India.



Letters to Juliet
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Verona, Italy, Letters to Juliet combines romance with a heartwarming journey of rediscovering lost love. The story follows Sophie, an aspiring writer who finds a decades-old letter addressed to Shakespeare's Juliet and decides to reply to it.

Her response inspires an elderly woman to search for the man she loved many years ago. As they travel across the Italian countryside, Sophie unexpectedly finds romance herself.
