Anleitung zum Verlieben

My wife and I watched this movie at home on DVD from our library, part of a set of three rom-com movies.

Meghan Markle is high powered Denver career woman Cass, by her own evaluation keeps picking the wrong type of guy. She doesn't want to remain single. She discovers a book, "The Dater's Handbook", in a coworker's desk, a young lady about to be married, and assumes the book helped her. So Cass sets out on her latest project, start dating the right kind of guy.

It is a lightweight rom-com, as these most often go she meets two guys about the same time, one a sort of goofy, fun-loving sort, the other a rather serious sort who likes to entertain at fancy restaurants and take his date to art galleries and classical string quartet concerts. But doesn't really know how to have fun.

So we, the audience, realize right away that Cass will be better off with the fun-loving guy, as does her mother, but will Cass ever realize it?

That is the movie, lightweight but entertaining, Markle is really good in her role, as well as the other cast members.

It's a cute movie, Meghan is fun to watch. But the "boyfriend" always showing up at her workplace. Kinda creepy. I can't see her with either George or Robert. And who would think DEVNER is the right word to put on a product? No phone calls were made to check into that? Made me laugh. Loved the dogs!

I watched this movie mostly to see Megan Markle in it. I didn't watch Suits so I did't know what to expect of her acting. It was a mediocre movie. I thought she over acted throughout the movie. It was a cute movie and she did have chemistry with Christoper. It was a cute Hallmark movie.

Ugh.

Reliable & Dependable or Passionate & Spur of the Moment?

Meghan Markle in her last film before marrying Harry.

Kristoffer Polaha is charming as usual.

Cute but not much depth.

They made it so obviously which is the right guy for her, that she looks like an idiot for not just picking him early on.

Also, the whole movie is a false dilemma fallacy. Can't a girl have a guy who's dependable AND chivalrous AND fun?

The sister got on my nerves. Apparently, she's unhappy in her marriage, and is trying to get a vicarious do-over through her sister's love life. And she follows some lady's self-help book so religiously, boiling love down to a checklist or formula.

And finally, neither guy ever learns that the protagonist's been two-timing them.
