If You Enjoyed Off Campus, There’s Another Movie You Definitely Need to Watch.
One of the great joys of a romantic comedy is knowing exactly where the plot is heading, but that doesn’t diminish the enjoyment. Prime Video’s Off Campus (adapted from Elle Kennedy’s best-selling novel ) is a perfect example: from the moment they meet in the boys’ locker room, it’s painfully obvious that Garrett (Belmont Cameli) and Hannah (Ella Bright) will end up together. The joy lies in watching them struggle with the inevitable. If you’ve already binged the first season of Off Campus and all its peers , switch to feature films and watch the perfect film for the mood: 1992’s The Cutting Edge .
Why ‘On the Edge’ Is Perfect to Watch After ‘Off Campus’
Yes, “On the Edge” is three decades old. No, you probably won’t recognize the actors. But if you’re looking for a film that conveys the same overall feeling and belief that love can overcome anything, including misunderstandings and awkward relationships, then this is it.
Do you enjoy Hannah and Garrett’s storyline, where they pretend they don’t have strong feelings for each other? The movie “On the Edge” has a similar premise: talented hockey player Doug Dorsey (D.B. Sweeney) gets injured just before winning Olympic gold and turning pro, putting an end to his career. When brilliant figure skater Kate Moseley (Moira Kelly) can’t find a partner due to her temperament, perfectionism, and sarcastic tone, her desperate coach offers Dorsey a job. Dorsey finds figure skating humiliating but desperately wants to get back into it. Kate thinks Doug is a dumb athlete, but she has no other options. They agree to work together—and, of course, they hate each other at first, but hey, it’s a romantic comedy . Soon, they’re denying their feelings and getting in their own way, just like Hannah and Garrett.
Is your favorite part of Off Campus the bickering between Hannah and Garrett (and Ellie, Dean, and everyone else)? Split is full of sharp and hilarious dialogue, from Doug’s firsthand experience with toe-picking to Kate’s ” I’m sure I don’t do anything you’d be interested in. It’s not like I open beer bottles with my toes .” In short, Doug and Kate become increasingly adorable as they try to navigate the situation of being so deeply in love with each other.
And if you came here for the same thing everyone watches romantic comedies for—a big, silly, touching ending where everyone finally says what they feel —then you’ll be hooked on “Razor Edge,” too. The film’s ending is surprisingly powerful after following their journey together—it has everything a scene like that needs. There’s a passionate speech. There’s a character shedding the last shred of their emotional armor and showing genuine vulnerability. And there’s a grand gesture—though it’s a twist, because this time it’s not a guy running through a metaphorical airport. It’s satisfying, and one of the main reasons “Razor Edge” has become something of a cult film in recent years.

Movies are great, but they end. Want more of that “Off Campus” vibe in cinematic form? Here are a few more suggestions.
The Contenders (2024)
If you’re looking for more of the sports and athleticism depicted in “Off Campus” without the complicated (and highly erotic) atmosphere, this film starring Zendaya is perfect for you. The story follows three rival friends in the cutthroat world of professional tennis who find themselves embroiled in a passionate love triangle, exploring profound issues of friendship, betrayal, sex, and love. Watch “Challengers” on Peacock or rent it on Prime Video .
My Fault: London (2025)
The film “My Fault: London” and its sequel ” Your Fault: London” (based on Mercedes Rohn’s “Guilty” book series) are, in some ways, the closest thing to the series “Off Campus.” The story follows Noah, who is forced to move to England shortly before starting college when her mother marries a wealthy businessman. Her relationship with her new stepbrother, Nick, is initially strained, but these two broken people gradually learn to trust each other—and beyond. The film is slightly more of a thriller/drama than the series, but fits neatly into the college romance genre. Watch “My Fault: London” on Prime Video .
The Kissing Booth (2018)
If you truly enjoyed the twisted, melodramatic story of young love depicted in Off Campus , then The Kissing Booth (and its two sequels) will not disappoint. The characters are a bit younger, but the tone is similar: Allie (Joey King) and Lee (Joel Courtney) have been friends since birth, and Allie has been in love with Lee’s older brother, Noah, for almost as long. However, Allie and Lee have an agreement: his brother is unavailable, no matter how attractive he may be (and he’s played by Jacob Elordi, so you know where this is going). The film maintains the same light but serious tone, following a group of friends trying to navigate love and life together. Watch The Kissing Booth on Netflix .
After (2019)
If you love how Hannah and Garrett are destined to be together but can’t seem to shake their problems, check out the After series, based on the books by Anna Todd .
