Ahh yes, the classic Hallmark 'two people who don't see eye to eye on something (wedding and event planning, in this instance) bond over the project they are forced to work on together and then the sparks fly' trope. Done before. Done better, probably, but Danica McKellar, who is always bubbly and upbeat in her Hallmark roles and Paul Greene have a decent amount of chemistry, and move their relationship from unwilling partners with some antagonism to - you guessed it - falling in love at the end. Beautiful scenery, too, as Hallmark movies seem to nearly always have. Not McKellar's best, but not her worst. Ditto Paul Greene.

Jessica Summer (Danica McKellar) is a wedding planner who is very particular and detail-oriented. Adam Parker (Paul Greene) is an events planner who likes to think outside the box and live spontaneously. Naturally, when circumstances cause them to work together on the same event, we can expect them to rub each other the wrong way and to fall in love. This is a TV romcom after all.

But it helps if they have real chemistry and the transformation in their relationship seems not only plausible, but fated.

Unfortunately, McKellar and Greene demonstrate little heat. This has more to do with the script than with their performances.

Graham Verchere, who plays Jessica's son, Luke, benefits from some good lines and is very likable in his role. He's a classic film buff who likes to pepper his speech with references to old films like "Casablanca".

The story is predictable. Nevertheless, there is some pleasure to be derived from a resolution when everything falls into place.

Both my sisters have been through nasty divorces and this is a cute movie to have the hope one day you will find a match. Though maybe it is not easy or he might not be exactly like you it shows you to try to open your mind and your heart.

This was a really good love story the son made the show tho. Yes I recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 11/20/2020.

Danica McKellar and Paul Greene headline this Hallmark Wedding movie as a wedding planner and event planner. They are thrown together to make the wedding of their dreams for a couple. At first they despise each other and are unwilling to pair up and tackle the nuptials.

Eventually they see each other's strengths and might be ready for some adventures of their own!

'Perfect Match' is the first of the 2015 June Weddings Hallmark films. Am not a fan really of Hallmark's June Weddings film in general, there are definitely some surprisingly good ones out there but they are often too more of the same and have characters that are very difficult to like. Really did not care for the concept, which sounded really out of date and less than tasteful, but still saw 'Perfect Match' anyway as someone who is trying to see as many Hallmark films as possible and because of liking Paul Greene in other things (a bit up and down on Danica McKellar).

This is another Hallmark film from 2015 to not live up to its cute if hyperbolic title, 'Perfect Match' is a long way from a perfect match. The complete opposite pretty much. It is not an unwatchable film and there are things done well, but it does have a lot of the things that make me not care for too many of the June Weddings films and does absolutely nothing to make the concept more appealing. In fact, it pretty much makes it even less appealing which is no mean feat.

Of course there are things that are not done badly. Greene is very charming and likeable in his role, that his character is excessively immature when it comes to his attitude on marriage doesn't lie at his door and he does do a great job with letting the character grow and mature. Which he does and not in a rushed out of left field way. The other acting standout is Graham Verchere as the most likeable character, very cute and smart.

It does look quite good with some lovely scenery. The music is pleasant enough.

McKellar, in her first Hallmark film, however gives a performance that feels very hammy and neurotic and she never looks comfortable. Also found her character extremely annoying, one of the biggest examples of any Hallmark film seen recently to have negative character traits taken to extremes. The rest of the cast overact or go through the motions, even the usually charming Linda Gray doesn't seem to have her heart properly in it. Of all the characters, only Verchere's is properly likeable though Greene's does develop and becomes easier to like as he matures. All the others are outdated, arrogant and immature stereotypes reminiscent of the early 20th century but like in parody mode.

Really didn't like the concept, 'Perfect Match' does nothing to change my mind and instead reinforces it. The execution of the story is truly ridiculous to an insulting degree and too much of it left a bad taste in the mouth. It is also as more of the same plot wise as to be expected, yet does so without bringing anything new or even anything to it. No charm, no heart, no fun, no tension, no nothing. Just non stop sluggish predictability and implausibility. There is no chemistry between McKellar and Greene, who are also too mismatched in acting style and character personality. The script is sophomoric and like a really bad lazy spoof script. The direction is routine.

Concluding, not a mess but a lot of major problems here. 4/10.

Cute story, great chemistry between the leads! Definitely worth the watch. Hallmark needs to put Paul Greene in more movies

I love Hallmark movies and they're easy to have on in the background while I'm doing other things but this movie had characters rubbing me the wrong way! The two male characters, Paul (groom) and Adam (event planner), Both were the worst for me. Paul is definitely too immature to get married in my option, he seems like a high school jock who didn't understand what a wedding is, and Adam seems like a man-child who for the most part thought his was was gold. The women too were set in what they want, and that married would be doomed to fail. Weddings are stressful, but even my husband and I would disagree and argue but in the end we both would agree together on something, definitely none of that here. Do not recommend, though I like some of these actors.

We watched several of these rom com films. Danica McKellar is a very annoying lead actress! I understand the format is she has to be won over, but dear heavens, I don't think she's worth the effort! Pail Greene is a very likeable lead actor! He worked very hard to won over a real pain! He deserved better! The child actor is quite good, and very tolerant of the annoying mother in the show! We be glad to see much more Paul Greene, less of Danica!

It was really annoying that the logistics (especially the timeline) of the wedding planning was ridiculously unrealistic. I really like the two stars together, though (luckily, they work together again in Campfire Kiss - check it out!). I love the dance lesson scene and the song Marry Me (Train) - it was perfect!

Danica McKellar is one of the more watchable and less irritating of the Hallmark actresses. She doesn't come across as fake and silly like some. She has an okay chemistry with Josh Kelly her costar who plays an event planner.

Wedding planning has been done a lot in rom coms but here it is a bit different with 2 different people trying to work together to plan a wedding for his cousin. Linday Gray looks okay still as mother of the groom.

OK for one watch

If you like ALL your men portrayed as a particularly mongoloid subspecies of Neanderthal, and ALL your women stuck in a worse princessy Disney rut than any real life royalty ever was, then this movie is for you.

The gender roles would have been called ridiculously dated in Victorian times, let alone in 2015. A script so outdated and unoriginal that the writers seem to try to underline the fact that history always repeats itself. A plot so contrived and unfunny that the 1939 invasion of Poland probably got more laughs.

We know Danica McKellar can do so much more. Here, she certainly doesn't get the chance to do so. As such, the whole movie is one big waste of talent, money, and, if you choose to watch this, time as well.

The story had potential but the female lead was almost entirely unlikeable. McKellar's character was essentially neurotic and her whole definition of team work seems to be others doing what she wants. her wedding planner has a very narrow definition of what a wedding should be and is not open to anything non-traditional - completely missing the point that she has been hired to find a solution for both bride and groom. as with many rom-coms, the men ae the ones who the viewer is supposed to find fault with (tbh, I usually find the woman as imperfect); while green's character was overly oblivious to wedding realities, he at least knows the meaning of the word compromise. none of the women listened to the groom's desires and in the end the bride got everything she wanted, except the pink bow tie. not really a major point: I know McKellar is big on math, especially for girls, but does she have to put it in EVERY movie?

This is the most ridiculous movie!!! The make event planner is a closed minded "JOCK" and is anti-marriage! His idea of a wedding is a back yard barbecue!

The groom in this movie is also a "JOCK" just like his cousin the Event Planner! In this marriage I see " DIVORCE " in her foreseeable future! This is just the worse Hallmark movie ever made, totally unbelievable and doesn't even come close to reality!

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Therefore, it wins my ten thumbs down award for worse movie ever!

7.9 stars.

Why the bad reviews? 'Perfect Match' currently has a 6.0 rating, which is a mystery to me. I suspect it's due to McKellar's too perfect rendition of a woman with excess emotional baggage.

The romance is on point, Jessica (McKellar) and Adam (Green) have an affinity for each other just the way I like it. Both bring their "A" game with all the fear, yearning, doubts...the good stuff that makes for an entertaining love story. Their passion is real and I feel some angst within myself just watching them interact. This is what I expect in a romantic film. 'Perfect Match' in a small way inspires and fosters a desire for something better, an adventure of love. Hint: credit the music for half of the goodness.

Jessica's son Luke adds a crucial element to the story, a young boy who has hopes and dreams, while having the wherewithal to look out for his mom and her needs too. The depth of his character and how he portrays an athletic and inquisitive pre-teen, is refreshing.

The supporting cast are not robots, they actually have separate personalities, which is a nice change of pace.

This is a high quality movie with great acting, cinematography, writing, directing and ambience. I'd surmise that Hallmark doesn't make 'em like this anymore...
