Like another reviewer I wanted to watch this, as never having seen Suits, I wanted to see how Meghan Markle fared as an actress, as she has since married into our Royal family.
Hmmmmmm, honestly ? Clearly Meryl Streep won't be having sleepless nights. If Ms Markle had been any good, then Hollywood 'proper' would have snapped her up, instead of her languishing in the stable of able but lightweight Hallmark Channel actors.
The British press have made much of her former career as an actress - would they do so if they had seen this offering ? I rather think not.

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.

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.
I love how streaming allows us to watch movies that people don't pay to see, but got kinda want to see Meghan Markle act now she's a princess. "Daters Handbook" is clucky with script and acting, making everyone's relationships with each other feel off, and yet that somehow made it a little more endearing to me. Will this win her an Oscar? No, did I enjoy watching a princess get dating advice while she was possibly actually dating a prince, yes, yes I did. Recommended if you enjoy the Royals enough to watch a wedding, or don't mind clunky acting with a feel good dating feel.
