Dater's Handbook

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.

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 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.

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.
