**The Good:**

A rom-com about dating apps and their downsides, liquid love and postmodern dating is a timely subject, even though everything is depicted in a lighthearted manner.

The acting is fine, but not particularly interesting or memorable.

There are a couple of minimally funny gags among all the wannabe comedy.

----

**The Bad:**

The actors have no comedic timing and the jokes are pretty half-assed. Many of them are variations of stuff that has been done before.

The story is shallow, silly and predictable but then again that is exactly what you've come to expect from these Netflix originals. There would have been space for some wider criticism of dating apps and corporations, but this film ultimately fails to deliver on that front.

The characters are incredibly childish, Susan’s sidekicks especially. That turns annoying quickly.

This film feels more like an overlong pilot episode of a half-baked Netflix sitcom than an actual film.

The climactic courtroom sequence is so sloppy and nonsensical that it's almost painful to watch. What's worse, it ends in the cheesiest possible way, which ruined a potentially satisfying ending.

**The Ugly:**

Love Guaranteed looks like a website from 2005.
