Match Me If You Can

Loved the message the movie send. Storyline was predictable but done in a a cute nerdy way. Very relatable and made me laugh which is what I was looking for. Loved watching a nerdy love story, female lead was funny, thought there was great chemistry. More realistic than most of these movies, or at least more relatable. The acting wasn't all great but it didn't take away from any it. I'm giving it a higher rating because being a bit nerdy myself the movie made me feel good, which the point of the kind of movies I suppose lol. Normally I never write a review but I would like for my fellow nerds out there to see this hence giving it a horrible first try.

What a breath of fresh air in the movie world. A wonderful blend of a good script, solid acting, good direction, and it all came together to make a sweet and funny movie with a happy ending. The movie will keep you chuckling throughout. This is a clever take on the all-to real world of online dating and all the hazards that involves. All the actors portrayals of their characters are just so well done. There is good chemistry between the two leads in the film. The director has done a impressive job of keeping the film moving forward and keeping the audience interested. The film photography is also worthy of note.

"Match Me if You Can" is a heartwarming rom-com directed by Marian Yeager about a computer nerd rejected by a dating app, blogs about her experience and ends up unintentionally leading a revolution for all the singles feeling left out. Set against my hometown of Austin, TX, the film's local charm adds an extra layer of magic for me. The characters' quirks and vulnerabilities make them instantly lovable and super relatable. And of course, who could forget the adorable mastiff and mudi pup that steal the screen for me whenever they show up :-) In a world of rom-coms, this one stands out for its genuine message - that you are enough.

The supporting characters are, each and every one, perfectly lovely facets that keep the sparkle alive, and further propel, the right kind of viewer, to w a n t to stay in the heavy guaged inflated, rapids worthy, modern river raft, flowing with the currents that are the story. The main characters, were perfectly cast, and those actors make the story easily captivating, as they play their roles with a deftness that suggests, perhaps are those actors actually, somewhat nerd-geekish- as their personal selves?

The story, writing, and screenplay, illustrate the true value, of personal, human- authenticity. Affirming the importance of Self honesty- inwardly. Causing honesty, outwardly, in as many various relationships as there are.

Making this movie a rare, gem of a find, for those who resonate, smartly, and sufficiently evolved, to find affinity while engaged in this worthwhile moment, of affirmation. Creative examples of self acceptance, entertainment, and certainly an escape-- worth doing.

"I know I'm not a real woman, my shoes don't hurt, I like math" is an actual line from this embarrassingly sexist, small-minded film. I haven't looked it up, but this was either written by an oblivious man (likely) or a self-hating woman. Whatever this film thought it was doing, glorifying things the writer associates with being "male" that "real women" don't do/don't get -- even though they are gender-neutral things like enjoying math -- is hateful toward women in an attempt to make the lead actress seem "so not like other girls." And you might think, "It's a romcom, it's not that deep." It is actually that deep. These media depictions are damaging. And honestly, who is this romcom targeting? What audience was so pick-me, they were like, "YES, I FEEL SEEN. The only way to feel good about myself is to tear down anything perceived to be feminine." I shut it off after about fifteen minutes. Maybe it comes back around and it doesn't make you feel nauseated, but it wasn't worth the gastrointestinal distress in the interim. Glad this has clearly done so poorly, as the world is better off with less exposure to it.
