There are a lot to choose from. One that comes to mind is Chef (2014).

The whole movie is wholesome. All the drama is in the first third, after that all is feel good scenes with great food.

There's no villain (arguably not even any bad people) despite plenty of characters that could easily have filled the role. There's no sudden setback to create tension. No relationship drama.

It's just such a fun movie. I love using it as an example that a story doesn't need conflict to be interesting. Not all journeys are about scaling Everest. Sometimes a walk in the park is exactly what you need.

Even better is that there is conflict: he has separated from his wife, but they talk through it, they are supportive of each other, take care of the kid, and in general they are just being incredibly wholesome about the whole thing.

When someone mentions this movie… I start instantly craving Aglio e Olio. Great movie!
