The Matchmaker's Playbook

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.....

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

It's cheesy and fluffy, but books like this are brain candy that you read in a couple of hours. The movie doesn't disappoint. Nobody is going to win awards for acting and writing, but everyone is having fun with it and it makes for an enjoyable little bon mot for your brain. Giggle, peep the beautiful people, and enjoy a break from anything heavy.

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.

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!!
