The Matchmaker's Playbook

The scenes are super cringy, i've read the book before I saw the movie and it wasn't that cringy. There are super sharp changes in the behavior of the characters, read the book, it's better.

This movie doesn't deserve the 8,7 rating it got when it was released, please stop giving good notes just to promote your movie. God I waited so long for this one and even with the trailer I could tell the acting would be bad. I wasn't wrong about it, Bateman's acting skills are more than questionable. The girl playing Gabi was really good tho. Can't criticize the plot since it was based on a novel or the lines since it's meant to be cheesy. Although the "Dying sucks" line is a killer. Honestly don't take this movie seriously, it's not meant to be a masterpiece but you will have a really good time watching it.

The cinematography is bright and well done, the whole story goes at good pace and is well balanced with what you think it will happen and what actually happen, leaves a good feeling after watch in it like a good wine.

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.....

My biggest complaint.. we were teased for a second movie, but I can't see any sign if it ever getting made. And after the first, I'd have been well down for it!

Great premise, alot of heart, great character chemistry, which kept them all from becoming too characteristic, and a nice satisfying ending. The four friends group were just heaps of fun to watch! And the side characters were perfect too.

Haven't read the source material, but recognised the formula in the genre, and still really enjoyed the fresh life the cast and movie production group injected into it. Just thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you Passionflix!!
