After watching the trailer I was unsure but took a chance and I'm not sorry for it. If you don't love rom-coms stop right there. First, it's not a comedy. It's pretty much just a 'rom' and mildly so. Sweetly so. I watched Love, Guaranteed on a whim and enjoyed it very much. The dialogue was fresh and sincere. Nothing overly dramatic and I'm glad! other reviews said there was no chemistry and I disagree. Acting was great all around. This was a thoroughly enjoyable film for this Saturday afternoon. I rest my case :)

Don't mistake this for anything more than it's meant to be
djmotiv5 September 2020
It's a cheesy, sappy, highly predictable romantic comedy with a few laughs here and there. In that respect it serves its purpose. It is light entertainment to watch at home when you don't expect to be challenged intellectually. Don't watch if you would rather be stimulated and on the edge of your seat throughout.
Who is writing these negative reviews???
christeasdale-267765 September 2020
Okay, so I'm trying to figure out why this film is receiving so much negativity. For those reviews that say they were able to figure out the ending in the first 5 minutes of the film, congratulations. You should have figured it out from the three or four line plot description and the fact that it's a romantic comedy.
All romantic comedies are predictable. So if you don't enjoy that, then what an earth are you doing watching it? It's a fairly silly decision to make isn't it? I think you should really focus less on writing bad reviews and more on brain development. I suggest the elevate app if you have the means to purchase it.
The boy meets girl and they fall in love story will always be the centre of a romantic comedy. That ain't hard to figure out. What's different is the story of how they meet and fall in love. And I for one thought this film had a nice, fresh story of how the lovers meet and get to know one another. I've certainly never seen it before.
If you like cheesy rom coms which I think everybody should once in a while, then this movie is for you. If you're sad and bitter about the world and prefer to be negative, then it's not for you. To be honest, I don't know what is for you. Maybe some anti depressants.

Predictable yet lovely
beau-679703 September 2020
With all the dud films on Netflix at the moment (To All The Boys I've Ever Loved 2, Kissing Booth 2, All Together Now) this was a lovely movie to pass the time. It didn't try too hard to be something it's not, force a narrative or leave you feeling dissatisfied.
Yes, it was predictable but it was the predictability that made Love, Guaranteed quite charming in its execution. Cook and Wayans have such a lovely chemistry as well that drives the movie along quite nicely.

A long overdue RLC return!
comolgab3 September 2020
Movie is ok, nice romantic comedy, what you see is what you get. But I am super partial to Rachel Leigh Cook and after many years of wondering what had happened to her, it is great to see her again! So, not an impartial critique of the movie but rather a bit of a fan rant! Apologies!
Solid Rom Com
camlee-371615 September 2020
Netflix keeps getting better and better with its movies!
The previous Rom Com movie on Netflix, "Desperados," was good but not great with co-stars from, "New Girl," - Nasmin Pedrad and Lamorne Morris (as much as I love them). This Rom Com movie, "Love Guranteed," featuring Damon Wayans Jr. blows past it with flying colors. Very surprised the ratings on this movie doesn't keep it a solid, "7."
This movie definitely has a predictable outcome but it is a must watch movie with character and authenticity (compared to other movies now and days).
Cute, Feel Good Rom-Com

Enjoyable romantic comedy. Yes, it is the predictable girl meets boy storyline, but I thought the script was perfect for this genre. The look at the online dating world was hilarious. Cute movie with good acting. True, the 2 leads didn't have a lot of chemistry with each other, but their hesitation worked with the storyline Very enjoyable, clean, feel good story to watch when you want something light to enjoy. I would love to see the 2 leads in more movies.
Schmaltzy and predictable and exactly what I wanted
cprime1114 September 2020
Sometimes you just need that cookie-cutter rom-com where the stuck in a rut business woman meets a really nice guy (who she has, of course, underestimated). This movie has all of it. Oh no! The deadline is in two weeks? Their date was nearly ruined by a precocious kid? There's a major obstacle to this perfect romance and they can't talk about it? Whatever will they do????
Damon Wayans Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook are delightful in this movie and I found myself rooting for them every step of the way. Will it win an Oscar? Doubtful, but it's better than your average Hallmark movie and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Sweet & lovely watch (But nothing Special)

Love Guaranteed Is about a man trying to sue An online dating service for not doing what they said they would
It's a Sweet simple Rom Com Format a feel good Movie and is the perfect length (Not too long)
Light on the on the romance and light on the comedy not ground breaking or really special but sweet enough and knows what it needs to do

Not too bad, but very predictable and the ending was very rushed
j_co8 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I liked the leads, I think Damon is very charming and great as a romantic lead.
The premise of the movie is not very believable, but regardless of the problematic plot, the story was shown in a very shallow way, it never developed into anything interesting, they didn't discuss why Arianna cheated, introduced any normal woman into the dating mix or explained why the dates didn't go well (1000 dates and all weirdos?), I couldn't understand when he actually works, if he even had a second date with someone on the website or if he was ever interested in any of them.
The trial was horrible, it added nothing besides a stage for the final speech, which was OK, but didn't provide any struggle or drama.
Cute and funny with a side of cheesyness
Nathan46 September 2020
...in other words, your typical rom-com. Not understanding the hate. It's cheesy at times with a few eye roll moments, and it's quite predictable, but since when does a light romantic comedy need to have complex storylines and multiple twists in order to be enjoyable? I thought the movie was really funny and the main characters were excellent and believable.
If you're looking for good date night movie that's light and fun, this fits the bill.

Easy going Rom-Com
Sergiodave4 September 2020
Damon Wayans Jr goes on 1,000 dates via an online dating agency, then sues the dating agency. You don't need to be Miss Marple to see where this romantic comedy is going., but, the acting is fine, plot is okay and in general not that bad.
Enjoyable story, bad execution
ukuh9 September 2020
For a selfless lawyer who takes to much pro bono cases and is trying to keep her business afloat, she lives a weirdly comfortable life. I counted 5 super fancy autumn/winter coats, and her car which is made to look crappy from the outside is almost sparkly polished on the inside.
The details sell it, and that is exactly what doesn't sell this movie. Everything is too polished, which doesn't fit the story.
Bad acting aside, the romantic kiss in the end is one of the most awkward kisses I've seen.
Good chick flick

Amazing movie
bekundaedmo5 September 2020
It's an amazing movie. It's not about the predictability of it all, it's about how love is portrayed in the movie. It's about whether the movie can convince u of the love the couple portrays. If you love rom-coms, then this might actually get your attention.
Decent watch
huntgeorgia11 September 2020
Predictable, but fun and easy to watch
athunderstorm3 September 2020
A nice feel-good film with a sense of humour.
You can predict the ending of this movie within the first minutes, but who cares? It's light hearted and sweet and the two main characters have good chemistry.
Worth a watch if you're looking for some light entertainment.

Lacks chemistry, jokes fell flat, characters underdeveloped
nikkiblanco-9325310 September 2020
I wanted to like this, but the film ended up as Netflix's pandering to those that grew up with 90s romcoms. Sure, it played the formula (pretty/unconventional girl meets handsome guy in a "funny" situation and so on), but the leads lacked in chemistry. Jokes were flat thus missing out completely on the "com" part of romcom, especially since comedic timing felt stilted and unnatural. Situational comedy was used but it was half-hearted and didn't make any of the characters endearing. The film ended on a predictable note (which is to be expected) but it could have at least been built up better.
Pleasantly surprising a Rom Com. Enjoyed this one!!
jkt200615 September 2020
Was not expecting it to be an awesome movie(a Netflix original for one...), but ended up watching the entire thing which finished like in a jiffy! Both the main lead actors do a great job and shine throughout the film. It comes across as a simple but fun RomCom just like the ones from the 80's. What I loved the most was the consistency in the script and the honesty of both the actors which shows on screen. Saw Rachel after so long in a movie and to discover she also happens to be the producer! Good job both!!
Definitely worth an evening!
