Il fidanzato dei miei sogni

7.8 stars.

I really like the lead actress in "Made for Each Other" and I really hope to see more of her in the future. She needs to become a Hallmark regular for sure. In this story she plays a sculptor who is down on her confidence due to several rejections of her works to be accepted more widely in the art community. She has fashioned a beautiful man sculpture, and she wishes so fervently that he was real that he actually comes to life, and is the perfect man. She has had difficulties dating men, because she is very picky, artsy, cynical, and sarcastic...all traits that might send any suitor running for the door. She happens to fall for a comedian while she's fallen for her sculpted golem man. You have to watch it to understand, because while this might be confusing, it's what transpires in this intriguing film.

Chemistry is amazing, the acting is amazing, the variety of characters are all well rehearsed and work very well together. This is almost a must see. I love the comedy fun interactions between the leads and the golem is a funny genius dud. Again, you have to see it to understand. Lovely and original take on Pygmalion they say. I suppose it is circuitously so.

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.

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.

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.

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.
