The Perfect Match Trailers

Charlie is a charming playboy who doesn't believe in serious relationships. His best friends bet him that if he sticks to one woman for one month, he's bound to get attached. Charlie denies this yet accepts the seemingly easy challenge, until he cross paths with the beautiful and mysterious Eva. They may agree to a casual affair, but eventually Charlie is questioning whether he may actually want more.

Charlie (Terrence Jenkins) is an Internet photographer and a player. His sister (Paula Patton) is an analyst. Charlie enters into a bet with his two friends that he can't stay in a relationship until Victor (Robert Christopher Riley) gets married. He meets Eva (Cassie Ventura) complete with Spanish guitar swagger music who agrees to an "all fun no attachment"relationship. Guess how that works out. Charlie also works for an a agency and has a circle of friends.I wasn't too sure about this film. The acting was okay, the dialogue could have been more entertaining. I had trouble with three guys getting together and talking about their feelings and the relationship similar to what women do. Who knew?Guide: F-word, sex, near nudity.

Acting: the acting is awful, throughout the entire movie, especially of the main character "Charlie". Definitely not his best work. At all. Storyline: predictable, boring, dry, unimaginative and in creative. It was tasteless and also not very humorous as was promised. Cinematography: full of errors, bad angles and awful transitions. In short, 10/10 do not recommend this movie. It was a waste of time and very cringeworthy.

"The Perfect Match" wasn't exactly the perfect movie. The acting was mediocre, the cinematography was just there, and the editing was garbage. I think this film was nothing but a cheap knock off of Eddie Murphy's "Boomerang". There is a nice little plot twist in this film but it's not enough to make it a good film, in my opinion. Although this film is what I consider a knock off Eddie Murphy's "Boomerang", it still had the potential to be a great film. Maybe if they hired another cast and had another director this film probably could have been a gem, not saying that the actors in this film were so bad they couldn't play in anything else, it's just that this film wasn't really for them, if that makes any sense. If you're planning on watching this film don't expect too much. Just sit back and watch it.

Terrence J is the best reason to see this otherwise, clunky romantic comedy whose title doesn't justify a means to an end. The Perfect Match (my latest review) has him playing Charlie. Charlie is an agent, a freelance photog, and a guy who is not into relationships. When it comes to sex, he eventually loses interest in every female he hooks up with. After Charles meets Eva (played by Cassie Ventura), things change. He starts to have genuine feelings for her (because the film's plot mechanics require us to believe so). She might be using him for a little ohh la la or she might be engaged to another man. Either way you look at it, the womanizer gets the tables turned on him, the player gets played. The Perfect Match huh. The "perfect" foil sounds more like it.Anyway, despite its lush LA setting and flamboyant soundtrack comprised of unknown, R&B singles, "Match" is all too familiar and virtually emotion-free. Like I said earlier, Terrence J is the only good thing going for it. He's got the looks, he's got the voice, and in my opinion, has the makings of a budding movie star. With almost no formal acting training (he started out as a radio DJ and I remember seeing him on Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami), I feel he could successfully headline his own flick. The Perfect Match sadly, is not the platform to do that.This is 1992's Boomerang without a decent script. This is Think Like A Man without any interesting characters. This is a so-called romcom without any real, suggestive humor. There are some bad, out of place cameos (Robin Givens, French Montana, Brandy Norwood), some bad, out of place supporting performances (J. Lo's 28 year-old boyfriend playing a rapper agent who rides around on a hoverboard, really?), troupers that drink enough alcohol to promote either liver disease or cirrhosis (remember the dudes in About Last Night?), and the actual director (Billie Woodruff) using his own name as the heading of the film's fictional, fertility clinic (huh?). In terms of its cinematic look, well The Perfect Match is slick, upper classified, and untarnished. You could literally eat off the screen it's on but that doesn't make the proceedings any more effective.All in all, it's obvious that "Match" was marketed weakly as it currently plays on under 1000 screens with practically no showings for critics. You can tell why. It's pretty but pretty disposable. Bottom line: There's another movie out there with the words "The" and "Perfect" attached to it. I suggest you see that one instead. Rating: 2 stars.
