Love, Guaranteed is a completely forgettable film that is funny at times but happily pedestrian most others. It turns momentarily into a borderline bad film at the third act’s onset, choosing to lean into standard rom-com clichés rather than charting its own territory. I do credit the film for at least attempting to be set in the real world – many so-called romantic films and tv shows set in present day seem to intentionally avoid acknowledgment of the undeniable ubiquity of online dating/endless swiping and thus miss the mark of telling relatable stories of modern romance. Love, Guaranteed begins with promise and had the chance to do something different with the online dating premise but can’t stick the landing. Rachel Leigh Cook and Damon Wayans, Jr. are so darn likable that the film is still a decent choice for your next Netflix and Chill evening. Predictable as it was, only the most jaded of movie-watchers will roll their eyes at the ending.
Love, Guaranteed receives a rating of 5.5/10 for general audiences and 6.5/10 for fans of Cook, Wayans or romantic comedies that send you home happy.
