Sally Q 08/12/2023 I went I thinking it would be just a regular old rom com but its actually more than that. I mean it is a rom com but it has something to say about being yourself and being enough whether you have a partner or not. I love Kips friends and how supportive they are to her. Its a real feel good movie. I want to have it in my library so on down days I can watch it and feel better.

I also really enjoyed the characters, who were all so dynamic and unique. It's not often you see a powerful woman on the screen in a rom-com, especially one who isn't afraid to set boundaries and stay true to herself, and Kip was a refreshing POV. I watched this on a whim, and when I came to write this review, I was disappointed to see the low rating because I genuinely liked this movie from start to finish. Give it a chance!

The acting was reminiscent of those early movies done by someone who turns out to be somebody one day. Clearly a bit fringy on the budget end, it still played well--script wasn't contemporary cliche' ridden and geeky types had rounder characters. Engaging and fun. See more Happy D 08/19/2023 I'm a sucker for romcoms, and sometimes, that ends up being the case. Match Me If You Can fails on nearly every level, but I gave it an extra full star for demonstrating that women can make movies filled with stupid, sexist (and at a couple points, kinda racist and lightly homophobic) tropes, too. I won't belabor the weak writing, poor direction, phonecam cinematography, and total lack of chemistry between the leads. Instead, I'm going to do something the movie couldn't: Amuse myself. And I'm going to do it by outflanking it from the left. Hey, remember when the "friend zone" was a tool of oppression used by incels to something something misogyny? Neither does this movie. Also, it has no problem with the protagonist coercing a woman into a date with her friend. Also also, just *don't* have a white person try to matchmake the only two age-appropriate brown Asian people she knows. It's weird and kinda racist. And don't try to queerwash your gay jokes with an onscreen gay couple. We're past I-have-a-gay-friend excuses. *Everything* has LGBTQ+ representation in it, now, so how about it's time *not* to try for laughs by supposing Chewbacca is gay? Speaking of stupid decisions, Riley Detamore? Did they sit up all night thinking of that one? What, was Gui Forloops Shoegaze taken? Don't watch this movie. Georgina Reilly did her best, though.
