The Matchmaker's Playbook

I enjoyed it and have now watched it a couple of times. Watched the movie then went back and read the book - the script is straight from the book. I thought their chemistry was good. The actors pull off college kids very well. The scenes where Ian talks to the camera remind me of Ferris Bueller, so you know its going to be a little campy. Funnier and better than the average Hallmark.

If you like romance movies (or romance novels)... you should watch. If you want something with a little more substance... probably should pass. It's a perfect happy ending romance. Good movie with pretty good acting. I just wish the chick wasn't so terribly skinny....

The beginning of the movie was terrible to watch but then it got a lot better

Yes, the story is lame but the chemistry between the charactors was palpable! Even at 52, I still remember these same people in my dorm.... the man-god who could get any girl just by saying Hi, the good looking computer dork, the cute girl who doesn't dress the part and the untouchable princess. I like bed the way the character Ian looked at Blake. I would love for someone to look so intently at me. I have known men like this who really love women and make them feel beautiful but in real life they are few and far between. At least with this movie, I could dream this kind of romance exists.....

Okay so this might not be a very thoughtful movie but it's fun to watch.. the acting is good, although the scenario isn't very well-written. I definitely recommend this movie to all the romantic souls out there.
