Made for Each Other

This movie was hilariously bad. It seems like the makers of this movie understood the idea of hilariously bad movies because a lot of other Hallmark movies are just cheesy bad or painfully cheesy bad. I honestly laughed out loud many times while watching this. And not during the stand up comedy sets, oh boy those were painful. Lots of overacting. Her sister's fiancee for example. And that ending was really something else. A lot of people are complaining about Teryl Rotherys' character but I thought she was very funny. And last but not least, Clay was the star of this movie. I need a sequel but with him as the main character.

I don't usually like Hallmark movies, cause they're usually boring and uninteresting. But this one is different. It's funnier than the rest of Hallmark rom-coms, and it's not as rigid as other Hallmark dramas. The idea is very unique, using Golem as a medium in rom-com. Cause from what I've learned about Golems, that's not how they're made. And that's certainly not how they look like. But I guess we can be a little more versatile in its application? But I'm rambling now. Back to the movie, it's well delivered, well acted, and not to mention has a great moral value for everyone about love : it's not about perfection, it's about what you need.

I suppose, correct is the fair term to define this charming romance. For nice collection of references, from Jewish traditions, life style and parenthood, to the legend of Pygmalion or Golem, from the inspired option for Aaron O Connell in role of Clay and his more than seductive definition of perfect guy, dream of parents of young lady , sweet irony against modelling and the huge appetit to learn, love, see the beloved one as perfect to the good option for Matt Cohen as...David Cohen.

For me, the gift of gifts is the presence ( and beautiful contribution to story ) of Illeana Douglas.

In short, little more than pleasant, including for holes , mistakes and the not so fair final.

This thinly disguised remake of the 2011 Hallmark film "Holly's Holiday" gives a Jewish AND gender twist to the Pygmalion story, and manages to mangle every aspect of it despite some deft humor. It has an edgier feel than most Hallmark offerings in places, but completely blows it with one of the stupidest, most unbelievable, badly staged endings in Hallmark history. When will Hallmark learn that the public airing of the romantic finale in front of a fawning audience is a real turn off? No doubt die hard fans of the channel will laud it to the skies, but more sane observers will wonder why they watched it at all.

I absolutely love this movie. The main character really nailed it. His expressions were filled with so much joy in a goofy way. Really an entertaining watch. It was kind of strange for me, because the romance didn't end up working out for him. I took two stars off because the side characters had an uninteresting romance. I disagree with the notion that the perfect man didn't challenge the girl. Yes he did, it just wasn't the way she wanted to be challenged. He challenged her to be more giving, as giving as he is. She wasn't so interested in that though. That's OK, some of us don't have a big capacity to love and therefore are unwilling to try to become a better person for the other.
