Shoot To Marry

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
