Ms. Match

This film does not have much to recommend it. The main character, Athena (Anja Savcic), is a dating coach who is clueless when it comes to her own dating life. She makes mistakes at every turn. Eventually, her professional and personal lives become confused and enmeshed, but she has a therapist and a couple of friends to complain to and seek advice from.

This is not a bad film. It is just not that funny, inspiring, dramatic, or romantic. If it were a breakfast food, it would be oatmeal. And the guys she dates, both professionally and personally, blend together like a lineup of accountants.

Blame the writing and the casting for the mediocrity. Blame yourself if you watch this film hoping for an interesting plot twist or a joyous moment.

Well, okay. It wasn't awful. A little choppy and confusing, especially to the midway point. It's hard to keep track of who's who - there were a few unnecessary characters I thought. But most of the cast actually did a good job. And it did have an ending that satisfied, even though I was doubtful about that for most of the movie. Loved the twist involving the roommate. Darien Martin did a great job as the therapist. The female lead was likeable - she made you care what happened to her. One great thing about this movie is that there wasn't any overacting which is a nice change from some of these movies. The sound was a little muffled just at the beginning. That cleared up and it was a good watch after about 5 minutes. Was I on the edge of my seat thru the whole movie? No. But I did get caught up enough to watch it to the end. And I'd probably watch it again at some point.
