The Soulmate Search

I struggled through this one. The acting was sub-par. The cinematography was horrible (felt like I was watching a home movie). The storyline was OK. However, I never could figure out why the friend with the boyfriend was thrown in there. It had NOTHING to do with the story. The actress playing the role was awful. Overacting - i wanted to slap that fake smile off her face. If I hadn't been in bed - before falling asleep - I probably would have turned it off . But it was so boring and bad - it was a good one to watch while relaxing before sleep. I've seen both if the leads in other movies - and they weren't this bad. I guess it has to do with what they were given to work with. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH MOST REEL ONE PRODUCTIONS ...

Horrible movie from start to finish. The acting, especially from the main actress, was stiff and unconvincing. She failed to bring any emotion to her role, making it impossible to connect with her character. The plot was unrealistic, full of holes, and completely predictable. It felt like a rushed, low-budget production with bad direction and choppy editing. We couldn't even finish it; stopped halfway because it was unbearable to watch. It's a total waste of time, not worth watching even as a joke. Avoid this movie if you value your time.

Do not waste your time watchibg this movie.

The main character is horrible.

If you're bored of regular rom-coms, watch this. I almost gave up at the initial bickering, but it is key to this creative story, and once you know the characters' backgrounds, their different perspectives are more understandable. As they are polar opposites at the start, I can actually relate to both of them a bit, so I enjoy the thought processes of both. The multi-generational cast works really well, and has one of the best child characters I've seen - he's perfect for the plot but also the type of mini adult that I would expect an only-child in this family-business situation to be. Whilst fall-out and reconciliation are pretty inevitable in these movies, the detail of both is unusual here so held my attention, as did the inclusion of some excellent art in different forms thought the production.

Well-written, authentic dialogue, and clever storyline. Cinematography, editing, and sound quality framed the characters and location -the close-ups are beautifully done. Will, played by Jon Stoddard, with his son Dash, played by Holden Smith, are every woman's dream team. So sweet, funny, and real together. Who wouldn't love them? I would also love to have Nicole Acosta (Chloe) as my best friend. The writer, Hayley November, created lovable characters. Lastly, don't be scared off by the two lead characters' rather terse and tense opening scenes. The story evolves, emotions are laid on the table, and everyone learns to dance by the end.

I did not finish the movie. I got 40 minutes in, but the leads just kept bickering with each other. The lead male was irredeemably bad on their first date, and she wasn't exactly the most lovable person either.

Watching a couple be jerks to each other gets old very quickly. Maybe the last half of this movie is great, but the first half was so poor that I didn't even want to find out.

Also, the mystery storyline was odd. At one point I realized I had no idea what the leads were doing and why they cared. For two people who seemingly hated each other, I don't know why they were spending so much time together.

There are WAY better movies in this genre.
