This is your typical Hallmark movie, which I don't mind watching on occasion. I do feel bad for the other actors in this movie. They were entertaining and this movie would probably get better reviews with another leading actress. However, I recommend you do yourself a favor and skip this movie. There are plenty others to choose from. No wonder Rachel Meghan Markle decided she couldn't hack it in Hollywood and had to cut and run for greener pastures. Now she's proven to not have anything to offer the Royal Family and the UK. Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll fade into obscurity sooner rather than later.

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.

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.

I confess I wanted to watch this because it's Prince Harry's girlfriend in the lead role - Meghan Markle. I don't watch Suits so this was a chance to see what she is like on screen and she is quite charming It's quite a cute story about a woman relying on a dating handbook and juggling 2 suitors. One is a dependable and sensible type, one is more spontaneous and passionate. Guess which one she ends up with. It's quite interesting to see the differences between the two. Her choice isn't totally convincing and the guys are a little stereotypical one dimensional. Okay for one watch.

Tired Premise: Perfect girl stuck in relationship with garbage man dumps him just in time to meet perfect man. Despite living in a city of several million they suddenly bump into each other everywhere they go. However girl rejects him for another loser only to realize her mistake after very little struggle or soul searching. With one kiss she magically fixes everything instantly--the end. What moron thought this was worth making?

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.

Meghan Markle needs some acting lessons, I like the 2 guys BUT she needs some help w/her acting skills!! I usually like SOME Hallmark movies BUT this movie sucked BIG TIME!! The plot was ok BUT the acting from Megsy was stiff & you could tell she was acting, which is a NO NO! She can't even be lead in a Hallmark movie, thats just so pathetic! I didn't watch the show Suits but a LOT of people said her acting on there was horrific as well. Hmm.... I guess good thing she married a prince in real life! Oh but wait she thought it was "tiaras & fancy parties"- foolish 40 yr old woman & D list actress.🙄

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.
