If you loved the wild mix of action, comedy, and romance in Novocaine on Prime Video, you’re probably craving more movies that blend fast-paced thrills with unexpected laughs and relationship drama. It’s not easy to strike that balance – most films lean too far into action or go fully rom-com. But the gems that manage to fuse both? Pure entertainment.
Here are 15 movies like Novocaine that deliver on romance, danger, and plenty of chaotic fun.
15 Movies To Watch If You Like Novocaine
1. Knight and Day (2010) – Prime Video

2. Mr. Right (2015) – Apple Tv
Anna Kendrick falls for a charming hitman (Sam Rockwell).

3. Romancing the Stone (1984)
The blueprint for adventure-romance: a romance novelist is pulled into a jungle rescue mission, sparking unexpected love along the way. If you liked the “ordinary person in extraordinary danger” vibe of Novocaine, this is its old-school classic match.
4. The Lost City (2022) – Prime Video
Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum riff on Romancing the Stone with a self-aware, comedic twist. A jungle rescue with both danger and flirty banter. Fans of Novocaine will appreciate the playful balance of witty banter, rescue missions, and reluctant romance.
5. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) – Netflix
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as married assassins rediscovering their spark through gunfights, explosions, and marital bickering. Not exactly a rescue story, but the relationship-driven action fits the Novocaine spirit. Just like Novocaine, it’s the messy romance that drives the action – every bullet comes with a punchline.
6. This Means War (2012) – Prime Video
Two CIA agents (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy) compete for Reese Witherspoon’s heart while dodging explosions. Romantic chaos meets spy antics. If you enjoyed Novocaine’s blend of danger and comedy, this has the same playful, love-triangle-fueled stakes.
7. Date Night (2010) – Hulu
Steve Carell and Tina Fey play a married couple whose date night spirals into a crime-fueled adventure. Comedy, danger, and relationship stakes keep it engaging from start to finish. Much like Novocaine, it’s about ordinary people stumbling into crime and chaos, with love as the anchor.
8. Six Days, Seven Nights (1998) – Apple TV+
After a plane crash, Harrison Ford and Anne Heche must survive a jungle adventure. It’s more survival romance than crime rescue, but the tension and banter fit the vibe. Fans of Novocaine will enjoy the sharp romantic banter driving the danger-filled adventure.
9. The Jewel of the Nile (1985)
The sequel to Romancing the Stone – more treasure-hunting, banter, and adventure romance. If you liked Novocaine’s mix of danger and witty romance, this follow-up doubles down on those sparks.
10. Red Notice (2021) – Netflix

11. The Bodyguard (1992) – Prime Video
Kevin Costner must protect Whitney Houston, and their professional relationship soon sparks romance. More serious in tone, but still carries the “love in danger” heartbeat. Fans of Novocaine will find the romance-in-danger angle familiar, just with more drama than comedy.
12. Killers (2010) – Netflix
A woman discovers her husband is a hitman, and their marriage gets tested by nonstop assassins and gunfire. If you liked Novocaine’s “love colliding with danger” setup, this offers a campier, rom-com spin on that idea.
13. The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) – Prime Video
Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon are dragged into global espionage after a breakup. Silly, action-packed, and relationship-driven. Like Novocaine, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, turning spy danger into comedy and friendship.
14. Out of Sight (1998) – Prime Video
George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez bring chemistry to a sleek cat-and-mouse romance amidst crime and danger. Slower and more noirish, but undeniably sexy. Fans of Novocaine will enjoy the stylish mix of attraction and crime, with the romance sparking through danger.
15. True Lies (1994) – Hulu
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a spy whose wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) gets caught up in his double life. It’s less about rescue and more about marriage dynamics, but the mix of comedy, action, and romance fits beautifully alongside Novocaine. Like Novocaine, it ties personal relationships directly into the chaos of action and espionage.
