6 Comedies Featuring Awesome Female Relationships To Watch On Netflix

It's never easy deciding what to watch. With a plethora of films available on even a single streaming service and new movies being added every month, even the most dedicated cinephiles among us have difficulty making a choice, never mind making it a good one. To assist our readers with choosing an awesome film, each week I’ll bring you six high-class selections available on Netflix Watch Instant to indulge your insatiable need for streaming options. Last week we brought you some period dramas, this week we're looking at some comedies with awesome female relationships. Bromances are a subgenre unto themselves, but what about films that show equally loving friendships between women? There are too few of those to go around, so when we do come across films that feature funny, awesome, and occasionally caustic female relationships, something should be said about them.

You’ve probably already seen this film, but there’s no reason not to watch it again.

Alicia Silverstone is Cher, the original Valley Girl, trying her darnedest to foster romance between friends and teachers alike while steadfastly ignoring the nice guy in her life. She might not be very bright, but she’s sweet and her heart’s in the right place, even to the detriment of her own relationships.

Clueless is fun for some 90s fashions, yes, but even more so for the depiction of female friendships. Cher is a decent person who wants the best she can do for her friends, and her friends don’t always live up to her standards. But they try, and that’s what’s nice about this film: the friendships wax and wane, but they’re ultimately about teenagers becoming adults who support one another.
