February marks the arrival of new TV shows and movies to Hulu. Fans of The Twilight Saga will be happy to learn that all five movies are now on Hulu. Eat Pray Love, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Valentine’s Day, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and 500 Days of Summer are some of the other high-profile releases on the streamer.
Beyond the popular movies, there are hidden gems that are very entertaining. We selected three underrated movies to watch on Hulu in February. Our picks include an underseen thriller with a killer lion, a cult film from the 2000s, and a long-awaited reunion between two comedy stars.
because of the pandemic, 2020 was a strange year in movies. Because theaters were closed, many films went right to digital and streaming with little promotion, forcing viewers to discover these “buried” projects for themselves. Thankfully, Rogue found an audience. In this tense thriller, a group of mercenaries embark on a mission to East Africa to rescue the daughter of a governor kidnapped for ransom by terrorists.
Led by squad leader O’Hara (Megan Fox), the mercenaries extract the girls from their captors. However, their escape plan goes awry, forcing them to travel on foot. But defeating the terrorists was just the beginning, as the squad must now evade a bloodthirsty animal. Rogue is Jaws with a lioness, and while it’s not nearly as good as that Spielberg movie, it has its own schlocky appeal.

For a certain generation, Napoleon Dynamite is a bona fide classic. Yet, the cult film is never grouped with iconic comedies from that era, including Anchorman, Old School, Talladega Nights, and Superbad. Trust me: If you like quirky films with a ton of laughs and hear, Napoleon Dynamite will be your new obsession.
Jon Heder stars as Napoleon, an awkward high school student who lives in a small Idaho town with his grandma (Sandy Martin) and brother, Kip (Aaron Ruell). After an accident puts his grandma in the hospital, his self-obsessed uncle, Rico (Jon Gries), moves in, much to Napoleon’s dismay. The only person Napoleon can turn to is his friend, Pedro (Efren Ramirez), the new kid in school. When Pedro surprisingly runs for class president, Napoleon helps manage his campaign. Cue Canned Heat.

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson starred in one of the most iconic comedies of the 2000s, Wedding Crashers. Given the film’s success, you would think Vaughn and Wilson would make a movie every few years. Unfortunately, the duo did not reunite until 2013 for The Internship. Billy McMahon (Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Wilson) are two salesmen who lose their jobs after their employer goes under.
On a whim, Billy applies for internships at Google. Despite their lack of technological skills, the duo wins the internships. The friends are initially viewed as outcasts at the company. However, their people skills come in handy as they compete for a competition to win full-time employment. The Internship does not have the raunchiness of Wedding Crashers, but it has a lot of heart.

Despite having access to a deep bench of titles in Paramount’s film library, Paramount+ doesn’t always have the most robust selection of action movies. But Paramount+ is on its game this month, and action fans will likely be very happy with their options in February.
Our selections for the three action movies on Paramount+ you should check out in February include a cult classic, an underrated adventure flick, and one of 2023’s biggest action titles. That should be more than enough to give action fans their fix until March arrives.
The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
Unless a hot new movie was just released in theaters or via streaming, the biggest question for movie night is often what to watch. One person might be in the mood for a particular type of movie, while someone else wants another genre. It’s either compromise or roll the dice and pick something neither person has chosen but is worth the surprise.
You could scroll through the menu of movies on a streaming service with your eyes closed and watch wherever it lands when you say “stop.” Or you could take our advice and consider these three underrated movies on Prime Video.
The Underdoggs (2024)

It’s the month of the groundhog, Valentine’s Day, and a time when you feel, justifiably or not, that winter is nearing its end and spring is almost here. It’s also the time to check out great new shows while you cozy up at home and hibernate until the flowers bloom.
If you’re looking for good options, Amazon Prime Video has you covered. Along with all the best shows on Amazon Prime Video, there are also underrated shows you need to watch in February that don’t get the same hype (or that you might not even realize are available to stream there). These shows were all released over the last decade, and one requires an add-on subscription to watch beyond the pilot episode.
