One Perfect Match

Great American Family (GAF) struck it out of the ballpark with this movie!!! The actors/actresses were absolutely amazing! This is not a movie that you can just listen to, it has to be watched, and watched closely. The reason is due to all of the subtle expressions that cross the main characters faces. Wonderful - Enrapturing!! My wife and I were captivated by what was said in these expressions! The supporting cast were fantastic too!! I agree with another poster who said there should be some awards for this movie! And to the person who commented on GAF "holy rollers". Let me just say that these "holy rollers" created an exceptional and heart warming movie that transcends political correctness!!! Kudos GAF and please continue creating such wonderful movies with exceptional actors and actresses!!! I also agree with another poster who pointed out the benefit of the characters reading their own texts! Loved it! You really can't go wrong by watching this movie, just watch it closely!

I've loved Joshua Sasse since "Galavant" and Merritt Patterson is plenty reliable, but this movie underperforms. The pacing is painfully slow -- basically 100 minutes of "I like him but he's my client and I can't date him!" and him not liking his date but not having the spine to say so. The acting from the supporting players is weak and the direction is plodding. And as is typical of GAF movies, the whole thing screams cheap. The guy is the owner of a big hedge fun but he has no papers on his desk? She's a famous matchmaker with a huge client base but has a dinky office and only one assistant? I honestly don't know why this garners so much praise, aside from the holy rollers at GAF in jubilation over a movie that doesn't dare divert from a white cisgender model.

Some of the romances by Hallmark or GAF feature couples that have little chemistry. Sometimes that is due to the story, which features antagonism or an oil-an-water connection that gradually grows into love. Other times, there just is no spark between the two stars. This film, on the other hand, features a story where there is chemistry between the two leads immediately, and for reasons of plot the couple cannot act on it.

Lucy Marks (Merritt Patterson) runs a match-making service and is dedicated to her job. Ironically, she herself has no one special in her life. When she meets Finn Grayson (Joshua Sasse), a businessman whose family owns a vineyard, there is an instant spark. When he engages her to find him a match, she has mixed feelings, but ethics require her to separate business and personal interests.

As mentioned, the story focuses on the easy attraction between the two, giving the viewer a love story different from many others. The final outcome is never in doubt, of course, but it's all about the dance.

This is an EXCELLENT Movie! It should be shown in all university and college campuses because of the outstanding ethical decisions made by the characters! Hollywood NEEDS MORE WRITERS THAT CAN WRITE IN THIS STYLE!! I LOVED this MOVIE! So REFRESHING AND WELL- DONE in every aspect! The cast was excellent. The background sets were great. Make-up and wardrobe top-notch! Where has the writer(s) been hiding?? I would LOVE to see more movies made with this class of writing! Such a relief not to have to watch perversion and disrespect weaved into a rom-com when trying to relax. This movie deserves awards! I hope it get some and I hope some people in Hollywood take a lesson from the content of this movie!! DOUBLE KUDDOS TO THE WRITER(S)

I rather enjoyed this movie unlike the other review on here. I thought the two actors have a great chemistry and played off each other well. Sure, the story is predictable, what TV rom-com isn't? Spoiler alert: They get together at the end. I think the only issue I had was that the film is set in Florida, but his family vineyard was on rolling hills and there's one scene where she's walking up to ground level. I've lived in Florida, there's like one hill in the entire state and unless it's changed in recent years, the highest point is a garbage dump. The movie was filmed in Australia, I believe. As a freelance writer/reviewer I cover a lot of Hallmark, Lifetime, Great American Family, UPtv, etc. Content so if I say one particular rom-com is good and worth a looksie, than you know it is.
