Love, Guaranteed (2020)
Lacks chemistry, jokes fell flat, characters underdeveloped
I wanted to like this, but the film ended up as Netflix's pandering to those that grew up with 90s romcoms. Sure, it played the formula (pretty/unconventional girl meets handsome guy in a "funny" situation and so on), but the leads lacked in chemistry. Jokes were flat thus missing out completely on the "com" part of romcom, especially since comedic timing felt stilted and unnatural. Situational comedy was used but it was half-hearted and didn't make any of the characters endearing. The film ended on a predictable note (which is to be expected) but it could have at least been built up better.
Us Again (2020)
It could have been interesting but it fell flat
The film started out interesting and fun. I was actually invested in it despite the questionable beginning of their relationship. But the longer the movie played out, the more one questioned WHY they fell in love. It was shallow, then dashed with Filipino mysticism, and you lost me completely. Yes, it was an attempt at a surprise, but it was so badly done that it felt like a different movie altogether.
