While dating apps seem to be losing their charm, the youngsters on screen have apparently found an even more exhausting route to romance. 40 Dates and 40 Nights sends Bailee Madison into a dating marathon where finding love means surviving 40 different dates in just 40 nights. And with free rent waiting at the finish line, suddenly even the worst date might be worth staying for dessert.

But before taking notes from Leah’s chaotic love life, here is where to watch all 40 disasters unfold online.

40 Dates and 40 Nights first flirted with the big screen in select US theaters on June 26, 2026, before moving much faster than most relationships and landing on digital platforms on June 30. The Bailee Madison and Joel Courtney rom-com is now available to rent or buy through Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. So, while Leah needs 40 nights to test her luck in love, viewers can watch the entire romantic wreckage in just 101 minutes.

However, the movie has yet to find a permanent relationship with a major subscription streamer such as Netflix or Hulu in the US. Meanwhile, Bailee Madison and Joel Courtney’s easy chemistry has won most of the praise, with Annie Potts and Jai Rodriguez adding extra spark, even as the predictable rom-com formula and endless parade of bad dates test some patience. Still, for anyone craving a light, feel-good romance without emotional damage requiring therapy, this dating marathon might be worth one night.

But why would anyone willingly squeeze 40 potential heartbreaks into 40 consecutive nights? Apparently, love is optional, but rent is due.

What is 40 Dates and 40 Nights about?

Bailee Madison’s Leah Jones has officially had enough of modern romance, but her grandmother Gigi refuses to let love die without one final, slightly unhinged experiment. The challenge sends Leah racing through 40 dates in 40 consecutive nights, with an entire year of free rent waiting if she can prove romance is truly hopeless. But somewhere between the disastrous matches and endless red flags, Mason walks in and threatens to destroy the one thing Leah thought was safe, her complete lack of faith in love.

Diving into the chaotic lane of modern romance, 40 Dates and 40 Nights brings Bailee Madison and Joel Courtney together as Leah and Mason, with Annie Potts adding extra mischief as Gigi. Directed by Andy Delaney, the 101-minute rom-com also stars Jai Rodriguez, Jack Schumacher, Luxy Banner, and Eric Nelsen. With dating disasters driving the comedy and an unexpected romance threatening the wager, the film turns one rent-saving master plan into a dangerously expensive case of catching feelings.

After 40 dates, endless disasters, and one unexpected shot at love, Leah may discover that winning free rent was the easiest part of the deal.
