Love, Guaranteed (2020)

This is part of my solo travel movie binging that was almost 100% light hearted romantic comedies. I read a review that characterized it as sufficiently bland and calmy cozy, and I would agree with that characterization. Susan is a plucky and uptight attorney with a strong sense of justice who works tirelessly for the little guy--she makes almost no money and often works pro bono. She loves her work but she is barely making it, as her underpaid office staff frequently point out. Strapped for cash, she agrees to take a case with the handsome and charming Nick, whom she initially clashes with, naturally. Nick has come to their office because he wants to file a lawsuit against an online dating company called – you guessed it – Love, Guaranteed. He says he's gone on 986 dates without having found love and wants to sue for fraud. This is the part that should have scared her--he has copious documentation related to each of these failed dates, but no, that is that part that makes her feel like they might actually have a case. The target of the lawsuit is the website's wealthy owner, a woman who feigns enlightenment and says "namaste" a lot but misquotes Buddha--very unlikable, in other words. The movie wends its way to its predictable end in a very inoffensive way, and I would recommend it for the sort of night where you con't want to think too much, which is me post-election.
