Netflix shared the Love, Guaranteed movie trailer, offering a first look at Mark Steven Johnson's upcoming rom-com. The movie features Josie and the Pussycats star Rachael Leigh Cook, alongside Damon Wayans Jr. and Heather Graham. Cook, Johnson, and the film's screenwriters, Elizabeth Hackett & Hilary Galanoy, are all regulars in the rom-com genre. Johnson has notably helmed the tender-hearted Grumpy Old Men films, while Hackett and Galanoy were in charge of producing a script for the Christina Milian and Adam Demos-starrer Falling Inn Love on Netflix.
As is depicted in Netflix's Love, Guaranteed trailer, Cook's Susan is an assiduous attorney, who is endeavouring to rescue her impoverished law firm from an anticipated shutdown. Susan's life takes a turn (probably) for the better when debonair, affluent client Nick (Wayans Jr.) enlists her to bring a suit against a dating website that guarantees love. Nick hasn't found love even after 986 dates, much to Susan's astonishment. The surprised Susan hence takes up online dating to study the case from her client's perspective. But as the lawsuit unfolds, cupid strikes the couple and a passionate comedic romance ensues. Watch the trailer below
Love, Guaranteed looks to be a quintessential rom-com. But Cook's return to the genre and her pedigreed pairing with Wayans Jr. gives the movie a refreshing appeal. Hangover star Heather Graham is also the perfect choice for the ruthless businesswoman Tamara Taylor, and the supporting cast members also put up strong performances. In summary, Love, Guaranteed may not be a hit with critics, but it still looks to be quite watchable as a budding love story pitched inventively against an entertaining legal drama.
Love, Guaranteed releases on Netflix September, 3.
