Some of it is so predictable you could set your watch by it, but there is a welcome (and surprising) layer of complexity running through the film that makes it a little bit more than your standard fare. The likable and funny ensemble helps too. Read full review

The scenarios and their attendant psychologies are utterly conventional, but the characters and cast are appealing in equal measure. Read full review

The facade the film offers is a lovely, and mildly diverting one, but there’s little insight to be found below the surface. Read full review

Neatly wrapping it all up in a bow, right down to big reveals and reconciliations, The Perfect Match offers not nearly enough twists on a tired formula. Read full review

Alonso Duralde

Mar 11, 2016

It doggedly follows the well-worn rom-com path, down to saving all the personality and occasional laughs – very, very occasional ones – for the supporting cast. Read full review

Scott Tobias

An attractive and appealing cast helps this formulaic pablum go down easy, but the genial tone buffs the edge out of every element. Read full review

Plenty of romantic comedies lack any demonstrable knowledge of actual human behavior. The Perfect Match lacks any demonstrable knowledge of movie behavior, too. Read full review

Loved it! Wish Eva's character had gotten more screen-time but I guess that's what made her so mysterious and interesting. Overall very enjoyable, would recommend for people who appreciate rom-coms.

The Perfect Match uses complete nonsense and a particular type of person would fall for this bait this movie has pulled up on these common moviegoers nowadays.

A big waste of time. The story has been told a million times and the acting was weak. Nothing new, nothing original and nothing funny ... really nothing in this movie that gives it a worth watching ... in 3 words: A big NOTHING!
