Globe and Mail

The only thing jacked here is the hour and a half wasted watching this film.

Rated: 1/4

The chemistry is never there between Anderson and West, probably because the latter is stuck trying to make sense of a character written to repel sensible people and decisions. West makes a valiant effort.

Rated: 2/5

The Curvy Film Critic

Love Jacked is a wonderful showcase for Shamier Anderson as Malcolm. I haven't seen star power and chemistry like this on-screen since Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams in Lady Sings The Blues.

Rated: 5/10

It's pretty, but lacking in personality. And that's not enough to build even a forced relationship with an audience.

Rated: 1.5/5

It reinforces social tropes we could easily live without.

A romcom trifle that's asks nothing and gives less.

I had to stop watching. Please can we stop homogenizing 'Africa'. It is a wonderfully diverse continent with 54 counties. That was clearly Cape Town but the accents and no other details matched the location.

This was an original storyline that thought was creative and unique.

Nonostante la buona alchimia tra i vari personaggi, quello che prevale sono gli infiniti clichè che riempiono la sceneggiatura e lo sviluppo della trama. Peccato perchè si poteva fare meglio.

Cute movie. I clicked on it not knowing at all who was in it so as the movie progressed, I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of some of the actors. This is a feel-good, light-hearted romance. Had some funny moments but for me it just passed the time. Pretty basic storyline, nothing out of the ordinary or unique. Again, cute movie.

A heartwarming and funny rom com! It's a hilarious and awkward Coming to America meets a forced engagement story. If you're looking for a nice warm movie this is a perfect antidote to a bad day.
