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 ...

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.

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.

Feels like it was shot on an iPhone using only ambient light. Colour changes, shadows come and go.

The photography was OK but the lighting was careless.

Lead actress may have followed direction but she overacted as if her viewers were on Nickelodeon.

I suspect the director not the female lead since other characters also overused their facial expressions, especially with their eyes.

The Dash character may have been a bright spot and I predict a bright future if he says in the industry.

I can't tell if the abstract art was supposed to be quality or justifiably dismissed. But it didn't appear to be popular or accessible.

This story was the same as other love stories but with a twist. A twist of date I guess you could say. The storyline was enjoyable and kept me watching instead of picking up my phone or pausing to go do something my mind remembered. I was completely into it from start to finish.

I'm a sucker for the cookie cutter Hallmark kinda love story but a lot of times will get distracted.

In this you see each person and know how things will come together but the cast make it fun while having chemistry that a lot of dramatic love stories love have.

I had to come into IMBD to check out the cast and see what else they are on.
