{Movie Review} The Perfect Match Film Friday 11 March, 2016
New movie alert and we have a romantic comedy in session. I love this is new, young urban hollywood with not the regular people you see headlining films like this. You all know what I am talking about, the same faces (but no shade). Terrance J, yes the once star of the show 106 and Park produced his first staring role film with his leading lady being Cassie in The Perfect Match. It’s nice to see upcoming stars such as Rob Riley (Hit The Floor) and Dascha Polanco (Orange Is The New Black) outside of their respective television show and onto the big screen. This film is very modern about how dating is in today society amongst young adults and no strings attached commitments.
THE PERFECT MATCH Synopsis: Charlie (Terrence J) is a bachelor who’s convinced that relationships are dead even though his sister (Paula Patton), a therapist, tries to tell him otherwise. His best friends bet him that if he sticks to one woman for one month, he’s bound to fall in love. An unconvinced Charlie takes the bet because he believes that he’s immune to love… until he crosses paths with the beautiful and mysterious Eva (Cassie Ventura). Charlie is sure that he will win the bet and prove his friends and sister wrong, so he rises to the occasion and takes on the challenge. Turning on his irresistible charm, Charlie coaxes Eva into a casual affair, but soon finds out that Eva has turned the tables on him. Unsure of what to think or how to feel, he finds himself trying to navigate in a foreign territory. Now, Charlie is left questioning whether he may actually want more than just a one-night stand.

TRAILER
My Opinion: I will not lie, I was about to pre-judge this film as a corny rom-com for the modern millennial. I pre-judged it. I was like typical, the lead man is a successful affluent playboy who doesnt want to settle down, always has women…so how many times do we need to hear this story? Well I think this was a great spin because in this movie Terrance J (Charlie) is the player amongst his coupled and committed friends. So he is the only one who wont settle down, even though he is at the age that he should. Until he comes across Cassie (Eva) who flips his world. Cassie I almost forgot how cute she is and she definitely played this role well, although she doesn’t have much of acting background. They have a no-strings attached relationship that seems perfect for most men in this day and age…but then there is a mega twist.
The twist in this film about their FWB (friends with Benefits) situationship is shocking! My jaw dropped because no one saw this coming! No one. I love movies that seem predictable and then you are like wow did that just happen? Yeah so there is a flip in this story that is worth the watch. I never saw this side of a story told like this and thats what makes the romantic comedy great. Most romantic comedies are centered around women and their emotions around relationships…but this is purely from Charlie’s point of view and where he need to make adjustment. It’s an eye-opener hopeful for the playboy men who may go see this film and change their outlook on FWB or just dating in general. Oh and Paula Patton is usually starring in films like this, but she is not a lead but a supporting character in this. That was cute!

The movie looks great. I would definitely watch it. It’s nice to see Paula Patton transition from the “it” girl to the big sister. Thanks for the review, l would not have found it otherwise. I am curious about the twist. I love those..
I’m so happy to hear this movie is actually worth seeing. I definitely pre-judged it and assumed it was going to be super corny. Although I won’t see it in theaters (since we’re overseas), I’ll probably rent it on iTunes when it’s out.
I had to skip your opinion part because I already have tickets to go see it tomorrow. I will come back and see what you thought after I’ve formed my own thoughts.
Like you when I first saw the commercials I was like. Hmmm, I’m not sure. The girls and I wanted to see movie and grab some lunch so we are giving it a shot.
I’m a fan of OITNB so I can’t wait to see Dascha Polanco outside of the show.
The movie looks like it’s going to be fantastic. I have to see You got my attention about the twist. The dating scene can get complicated at time. So my friends and I are going to see it. Thanks for the reviews.
This is my first time hearing about The Perfect Match. The trailer looks interesting, but I get tired of the same old movies with the same typical plot. I’ll check it out on DVD or Netflix.
This movie sounds great, and I definitely have been wanting to go and see it! I’m looking forward to seeing the plot twist, and I hope no one ruins it for me!
This isn’t my normal pick for a movie but it looks like it might be a surprisingly interesting one.
My daughter would be very interested in this film for sure!
I love a good rom com but some of them can be pretty cliche. This one sounds like it twists up the traditional rom com formula so I will have to check it out.
I hadn’t heard of this movie until I read your post. I think it sounds really interesting and I plan to see it. I have been married a long time but I had a 26-year-old daughter who would be fun to watch this with.
I want to see this movie! I would really love to see how this turns out and if they end up together. Oh man I’m a sucker for a romance movie! I really love how it has a little bit of comedy in it to make a giggly romance movie.

At least there’s a twist I can look forward to. Lol! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen previews but they haven’t really sparked my interest. But now I know there’s an unexpected twist, I may have to give this film a shot.

I had pre-judged it too, thinking it was going to be like “Think Like A Man.’ Since you had a change of heart I’ll give it a fair shot. lol
I have to admit that I pre-judged this one, too. But maybe this will be my movie pick for date night. It’s my turn! 🙂
