The month of love has officially begun – and if you’re trying to recover from a really painful breakup, what better way to mend your broken heart than to laugh your heart out (and cry, in some parts)?
Yes, it may seem impossible to smile after a breakup but you can do it – you just need to take baby steps towards complete healing. You have to learn to stand up, dust yourself off, and come back stronger than ever. Start with these movies that will not only make you laugh, but uplift your spirits, too:
1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
How to move on when your ex is literally everywhere you go?
2. Legally Blonde
How do you deal when your boyfriend dumps you just when you thought he was proposing to you? Go to law school and be fabulous, of course.
3. Bridget Jones’s Diary
Should you go for the man of your dreams or the guy who seems so wrong he just might be the one? Pick a team before watching, ladies! And don't forget, you can binge and catch up with sequels Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones's Baby.
4. Under the Tuscan Sun
The best way to handle a breakup? Buy an enormous Italian villa and just live life to the fullest.
