Rachael Leigh Cook and Damon Wayans Jr. Join Netflix's LOVE, GUARANTEED
Actors Rachael Leigh Cook (She’s All That) and Damon Wayans Jr. (Happy Endings) have signed on to star in the upcoming Netflix movie Love, Guaranteed. Cook is also producing the Netflix original. Mark Steven Johnson (Simon Birch, Finding Steve McQueen) is directing from a script by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy, who also wrote the recent Netflix rom-com Falling Inn Love.
Deadline reports the following synopsis for the movie:
The story centers on an earnest, hard-working lawyer Susan (Cook) who has taken one too many pro bono cases. To save her small law firm, Susan begrudgingly takes a high-paying, high-profile case from Nick (Wayans Jr.), a charming new client who wants to sue a dating website that guarantees users will find love. But Susan and Nick soon find themselves in the middle of a media storm, and as the case heats up, so do their feelings for each other — which could jeopardize everything.
I am a little worried that this is venturing into Hallmark movie territory. I love classic rom-coms, but have never been a fan of the mass produced, over the top cheesiness that is the Hallmark movie, although I know there is a huge market for them.
I do like Damon Wayans Jr. a lot though, and I think he could make the movie really funny if the writing it good. So we will hope for that. Does this sound like a movie you’d like to watch?
