Watched Shoot to Marry with my partner - we stumbled upon it randomly and found it surprisingly entertaining....Man in the throes of a devastating break-up goes in search of The One, meeting incredible people, women mostly, along the way. The central character Steve is strikingly authentic and willing to laugh at himself. It's pretty low budget - very indie. But this romantic odyssey is worth the watch.

An unlucky-in-love middle aged man films his search for a wife. gets solid advice along the way from incredible people, women mostly. a simple idea done well. very fun watch.

Funny, self-reflective and occasionally absurd dating doc. The filmmaker hops from city to city looking for women to be in his documentary, and longing for that one special woman to share his life with. Markle's confidence has been shattered after a bad breakup, and he reveals his insecurities in hilarious stream of consciousness narration that runs through the film. Solid film and highly entertaining.

I lived a version of this movie.... complete with the engagement that got called off (though my engagement lasted longer than 24 hours). "Shoot to Marry" really captures how hard it is to find love again (and to love yourself again) after getting your heart broken. In a sense this film was hard to watch... brought back memories... but I loved every minute of it and got me thinking about my own choices during that time of my life. I recommend this indie doc to pretty much anyone who's ever had their heart broken. "Shoot To Marry" gets it right... super relatable and very funny and full of heart.

Beware that this overall rating is likely inflated.

A forty-ish guy named Steve exchanges Christmas gifts with his long-time girlfriend, sings her a song and proposes. She says yes, followed by what Steve describes to his therapist as a total meltdown. Christmas is over. So is their relationship. In the years that follow, Steve documents his relentless quest to find new love, getting relationship advice from his parents, therapist, and incredible women he meets along the way. Steve is genuine and likeable and brutally honest. My husband and I watched this doc together. We cringed a few times watching Steve stumble on his quest for everlasting love - but never stopped rooting for the guy.

Shoot To Marry is a wonderful doc that will resonate with anyone who knows the pain of loneliness. My husband and I were taken by Steve's humor and vulnerability, and by the end we found ourselves moved to tears.

Steve Markle's new documentary Shoot To Marry is a winner. Markle, who chased stardom in his first doc Camp Hollywood, now chases another elusive dream: lasting love. Disillusioned after a failed marriage proposal, Markle grabs his camera and sets out to learn about relationships from female subjects. He's also hoping to find romance along the way.

Markle's journey takes him from L.A. to New York to Boston to Toronto filming with an impressive range of women from a firefighter to an escort turned spiritual healer. In his desperate attempt to find love, Markle is willing to put himself in uncomfortable situations. He films in a sex club and joins a women's workshop called Unleash Your Inner Geisha.

Along the way, Markle learns a thing or two and mends his broken heart. But the question remains: Will he find his soulmate? Then along comes Erin, a writer who's been dating men for the free dinners and writing about them in her blog. The two hit it off but Erin feels weird about their age gap - there's eighteen years between them.

This doc is special. Markle is openhearted and his offbeat film is uncannily relatable. Shoot To Marry is touching and honest and it's just about one of the funniest documentaries I've seen. Markle comes up against rejection in dating, but his doc is a winner.

In the documentary Shoot to Marry, the filmmaker chronicles his journey to move past a failed marriage proposal, figure out what went wrong, and find the woman of his dreams. This is an introspective doc... sometimes uncomfortable, always entertaining. I found myself laughing, cringing, and cheering as the filmmaker stumbles through film shoots with a wide range of genuinely fascinating women. Ultimately this is a story about a guy who takes a punch to the heart, picks himself up, and moves on.

Funny and moving, Shoot To Marry is an indie doc that delivers.

Filmmaker Steve Markle trains his camera on unique and interesting women with hopes of finding enlightenment and maybe even love. In New York, Steve films with Heidi, a brilliant hat-maker. In Toronto where Steve lives, he films with a dominatrix, a rabbi, a massage therapist turned pilot and other fascinating women.

Steve longs for the relationship he sees in his parents. They met on a blind date fifty years ago and have been blissfuly married ever since. Steve's attempts to find love with online dating and a personal matchmaker lead to dead ends. The best way to meet interesting women, Steve decides, is to make a documentary about them.

Shoot To Marry debuted at the 2020 Slamdance Film Festival where it created buzz and won a major award. It's no surprise that Markle won over audiences in Park City. He has a unique voice and with Shoot To Marry he delivers an indie doc that is raw, deeply personal and highly entertaining.

Wow the writer of this film looks to have spent more time shilling reviewers here than writing this piece of garbage. This film is awful.

Great little doc... lonely man interviews unique women on his search for enlightenment... and a wife. Watched with my twice-divorced eighty-year-old mom - she loved it. Steve - the lonely man - is awkward and fearless and funny. Definitely isn't afraid to have a laugh at himself. And by the end he manages to pull heartstrings. Sweet, surprising film. Highly recommended.

This offbeat documentary is perfect: charming, witty and beautiful.

More than a search for love, Shoot to Marry is an intimate study of a recently singled man learning to like himself. It's about the pain we all feel when a relationship ends, and the disappointment and rejection that comes with trying to meet someone new. I too am recently singled. Shoot To Marry was the perfect antidote - had me smiling start to finish.

Shoot To Marry was the perfect film to watch during my corona-virus isolation because at its core, this doc is about loneliness and our craving for human connection.

Simple premise: A forty-something guy named Steve gets his heart broken on Christmas. After talking things through with his parents and therapist, Steve sets out to meet interesting women, learn from them, and maybe find love again.

Steve spends a year filming with amazing female subjects - a hat-maker, a photographer, a firefighter and many others. With his camera rolling, Steve and the women have intimate conversations about life and love.

Shoot To Marry is an intimate doc about love and loneliness that I think will speak to a lot of people. Shut in from family and friends during the pandemic, I was struck by its message of human connection.

Shoot To Marry is simply the funniest and most engaging documentary I have ever seen. There are few people that are willing to share so much of their lives as the filmmaker Steve Markle. The realness makes Shoot To Marry relatable and interesting. It looks and sounds beautiful (probably because Steve is an artistic genius). Every scene works perfectly. I think every single person should watch this documentary and may learn something more about themselves or the relationship they are in. 10/10 Jonah Mickelson

Steve is a hopeless romantic seeking true love and we want him to win. A lovely little film featuring an amazing cast of exceptional women. one of the funniest docs I've seen in a long time.
