Made for Each Other

I have no idea how this movie has a good rating. Everything required from a comedy to be good is non existent in this movie. The jokes are bad, the story is bad, the acting is bad and its completely unoriginal.

Usually when watching comedies I don't particularly care for originality as long as the film is funny but this film is not. The way each scene connects and pieces together makes the story and script feel like it was written by someone who failed at primary school English and then dropped out.

If you have a slight bit of intelligence you will find this movie extremely boring to watch. Each scene is more boring than the last and although you may chuckle at the lowest possible decibel at one point in the movie, that is about as good as it gets.

Save yourself the time and boredom. Do not watch this movie

I was kind of in the middle. I thought it was reasonably amusing and silly, but by no means a laugh riot. The characters were all rather shallow parodies, but that was the point. It definitely is a matter of taste, and mood. If you are looking for a typical romantic comedy that's aimed at a more female audience, stear clear, as disappointment awaits. If, on the other hand, you want a very cheesy movie that is a parody of a romantic comedy, then this might suit just fine.

It should be noted that it isn't as well done as some other similar style parodies. So don't expect too much. It is awkward but cute, and I did enjoy it alright for what it was. You definitely need to be in the right mood for this style of movie. It's a movie for a casual, turn the brain off, and just let it mindlessly entertain you type of experience.

On a completely irrelevant to the review note, what was with the terrible, uneven, splotchy facial scruff on the main character? It seemed to constantly change length and thickness even within the same scenes? It sort of creeped me out!

Am I cheating with my "high" score for this? I doubt it - and I doubt it will make a difference - also no pun intended. Comedy is something that is ... well hard to rate and/or describe/review for others. Because what I may find super funny, someone else may find annoying and boring. So it is a "eye of the beholder" kind of thing.

That said, you have to like weird to like this. And it also does not hold back punches - other movies/comedies do play nice. But this starts off with a dream (not) come true ... and the weird world our main character lives in, where everyone is aware of his personal life ... this is heightened to a degree that is hard to describe.

Yes this is a movie - yes it is made very clear. Yes you may feel like it pictures relationship and the world in a funny light ... well hopefully you do ... and you may also feel it shows off some of your fantasies/dreams but also nightmares ... maybe both at the same time. Are you in love? What would you do for it? Again, this is meant to be light fun .. let it do its work ...

Look, if you don't get the jokes then you don't have a sense of humor! Every scene has a joke and it's a laugh out loud comedy throughout.

The acting isn't great but it's deliberate and adds immensely to the humor so if your all big on the acting quality then just loosen up for this film.

Why this wasn't a box office hit and didn't make a killing in sales I will never know. If this film had had a larger budget it would have been seen by many as one of the comedies of the past 10 years. In short, if you want a laugh then watch this, it never gets old no matter how many times you watch it.

With the exception of George Segal, all the actors here were unknown to me. It's clearly a family affair -- there are three Mastersons in the cast, at least two of whom are brothers, while a fourth Masterson is one of the producers, and the leading lady is or was married to one of the brothers. When they all get together at Thanksgiving, let's hope that turkey inspires better jokes.

It's a guy movie, with the usual sources of humour: penises, erections, anal intercourse, homosexuality, vaginas, periods, menopause, old people having sex, young people having sex, plus a quick flash of authentic testicle. In other words, all the terrors visited upon American suburban males, horrors which seemingly can only be kept at bay by poking (whoa!) fingers and fun at penises, erections, etc, etc.

There is an occasional laugh to be had, but there's no sense of when to stop: what might be funny as a one-liner or a simple sight-gag is drained of humour the more attempts are made to squeeze the dregs of a smile out of them.

Everyone is cute, all the leading characters and pretty much all the support is white. It all seems spookily prescient now we know who these characters elected in 2016.
