Underrated Girl Group Movies/Tv shows You Absolutely Cannot Miss

What is more comforting than a feel-good girl-group movie? As a rom-com girlie, I absolutely love girl squad movies. The number of times I rewatched Sex and the City is endless. It reminds me of the beauty of girlhood or womanhood, and with the right friend group, we have well-wishers for life. If you are looking for some underrated, unapologetic, fun girl squad movies, you are at the right place.

Crossroads

If you’re a Britney Spears fan, Crossroads is the cherry on top.

I randomly stumbled upon this movie and didn’t regret it. It follows three childhood best friends who grew apart during high school. When they reunite for a road trip, old memories resurface along with new truths.

It’s an easy watch with nostalgic early-2000s energy, but it doesn’t shy away from heavier topics either. At its heart, though, it’s about friendship, how it changes, stretches, and sometimes heals.

Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo feels like a dreamy escape.

Three girls end up in Paris before graduation, and chaos unfolds from there. There’s glamour, confusion, unexpected romance, and beautiful European scenery. It’s one of those movies that makes you want to travel with your best friends and romanticise your life a little more.

Head over Heels

One movie you should watch immediately from my list is this one. The title makes it sound like a sweet early-2000s rom-com, and while it is fun and stylish, there’s a twist I won’t spoil. Let’s just say it surprised me.

It also gives a chaotic roommate girl-group energy. And yes, Freddie Prinze Jr. is a bonus.

The Bold type

The Bold Type explores the lives of women working at the same magazine and how they navigate career and personal struggles together.

It’s more of a friends-plus-colleagues story, but the emotional core is still their bond. The show dives into deeper issues while keeping things stylish and empowering. What makes it relatable is that these women are bold and ambitious yet flawed. Watching them grow through mistakes feels validating.

The Sex Lives of College Girls

The Sex Lives of College Girls is chaotic in the best way.

Following a group of college roommates, it captures the awkwardness, boldness, and confusion of early independence. It’s funny, sometimes messy, but always centred on friendship.

There’s something comforting about watching young women figure things out together.

Insecure

I loved Insecure, and it deserves more attention.

It’s funny, messy, intense, and grounded in real female friendships. The show explores career pressure, unfulfilled dreams, relationship struggles, and identity, all while keeping things real.

The show doesn’t glamorise everything. It just shows women trying, failing, growing, and choosing each other.

There are some honourable mentions: Lipstick Jungle, Someone Great, Girlfriends.

Let me brainwash you into watching sitcoms

“I declare bankcruptcyyyy” If you read that in Michael Scott's voice, then you are one of us, a sitcom lover. I started watching Sitcoms when I was in University. A Friends scene popped up on my YouTube recommendations. Ironically, I watched the finale first. But it was so funny and oddly comforting that I went back and binged all the seasons. Since then, I’ve fallen deep into the sitcom rabbit holes. There is something about watching sitcoms which creates a safe and calm feeling. It will give you an instant feeling like you are included in something warm and pleasant. I believe this is the reason for people to rewatch the same sitcoms many times. Let me give you a few more reasons why you should start watching sitcoms. They are relatable I believe everyone has the urge to feel included, and sitcoms are best at doing it. Remember when Monica asked, “Do you have a plan?” and Phoebe responded with, “I don’t even have a pla ...”? It was hilarious and validating. It remin...

Tengah healing ke tu? A needed escape to Gunung Jerai

Sometimes all we need is a different perspective. We often get caught up in routines and forget why we push ourselves so hard. At the core, it’s to live the life we dream of. And that takes effort, discipline, and sometimes, a bit of healing. I recently took a long-planned, but impromptu trip to Jerai Hill (Gunung Jerai), which allowed me to relax and stay mindful in the present moment. To be very honest, I just wanted to escape from the scorching hot weather recently. Malaysia is filled with famous hill stations, and Gunung Jerai is an underrated one. Let me just walk you through everything I loved about Gunung Jerai. Buckle up! (No, really) Like any hill destination, you need to drive through the beautiful greenery, which makes you think about what else is beautiful you haven't witnessed yet in life. The roads are well-maintained, and there are clear horn signs along the way. It’s a drive that asks you to be both careful and present, watching the road while soaking i...
