Featured reviews
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.

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.

The huge problem of film is, unfortunatelly, Meghan Markle. Her wood acting, fake moments, arrogance and a sort of serious supperficiality.
The effort to introduce the Jane Austen touch works just wrong because the final is so predictable and formal crafted.
The good parts - the effort of supporting cast to save the film and the nice contribution of Kristoffer Poloha in this sense. Sure, the work of Jonathan Scarfe is , in same measure, precious, but his role is constructed exactly for suggest who will be the winner. Unfortunatelly, the film , centred around Markle , has poor chances to be more than a very modest Hallmark.

I confess I wanted to watch this because it's Prince Harry's girlfriend in the lead role - Meghan Markle. I don't watch Suits so this was a chance to see what she is like on screen and she is quite charming It's quite a cute story about a woman relying on a dating handbook and juggling 2 suitors. One is a dependable and sensible type, one is more spontaneous and passionate. Guess which one she ends up with. It's quite interesting to see the differences between the two. Her choice isn't totally convincing and the guys are a little stereotypical one dimensional.
Okay for one watch.

Very disappointed. The movie only deserves 4 stars but I gave it one extra just for Kristoffer Polaha. He's always so good, even in this bad movie. The story was silly, the acting was below average, and the actors had no chemistry. But the worst was the main female character. I flat out couldn't stand her! She was shallow, selfish, indecisive, and not likeable in any way. Plus Meghan Markle, while very pretty, isn't really much of an actress. The only reason I was able to finish it was because of Kristoffer Polaha being in it. But I will never waste my time on it again.
