Funny and romantic, sweet and charming, an unlikely but brillantly witty leading lady and the beauty of Ireland combine to earn this diminutive film a definate keeper! This one very distinguished reminds me of those astounding romantic screwball comedies of the 30’s and 40’s.
Marci Tizard(Janeane Garofalo) is sent on on assignment by her boss, a Senator from Boston Mass, who is in dire need of some benefit getting re-elected. The assignment…to come by the Senator McGlory’s relatives in a itsy-bitsy Brigadoonesque village in Ireland. Marci lands smack dab in the middle of a matchmaking festival and must ward off suitors in her quest to collect the senator’s roots. The towns people are charming but quirky, and there is one in particular that gets under Marci’s skin. A cynical ex-journalist(David O’Hara) matches wits with her and it’s a match made in heaven(or Ireland) .

Also starring is the unbelievable Milo O’Shea as “The Matchmaker”, who cleverly tries to bring these two together. The laughs are non close and will leave you smiling for some time afterwards. It was directed by Tag Joffe and has a terrific atmospheric soundtrack as well.
There are a couple editions of this DVD and the one I am reviewing has a record of Janeane Garofalo with the lovely hills of Ireland in the background and it is in the middle of a white building. Milo O’shea is standing on the ground, the title is is red with a clover in the name. I portray it in detail because the tech info here differs on some aspects. The studio of production is Universal (not USA) . The film which was shot on situation in radiant Ireland has been given a glowing transfer and may be viewed in widescreen(2.35:1) or the standard format. Righteous surround sound in DD5.1 lets you hear every detail. There’s not alot in the plot of extras, but there are some cast bios and filmographies and Closed Captioning in English as well as subtitles in French and Spanish and some theatrical trailers.
The film is rated R for some langauge.
Great fun, a very luscious hour and 40 minutes..go for it…Laurie

I adore this movie! The scenery is breathtaking, the acting is first rate, and the tale is charming. This movie transports you to Ireland. The fictional village of Bali Na Gragh (sp? ) is overcast yet welcoming, and the people all sight trusty (not like extras on a Hollywood plot) . It is refreshing to net a romantic comedy that does not occupy area in an urban landscape. You won’t win any Mystic Tanned lads or lasses here! Janeane Garafolo is gorgeously pale, and looks like a dependable woman. Her acting here is first rate, as usual. After watching the movie 8 times, it is hard to imagine anyone else playing the role of Marcy. Her “match”, Sean, played by David O’Hara is one of my celebrated male movie characters ever. He is a charming, shimmering cad with a heart of gold. O’Hara is definately not a Brad Pitt or Ben Affleck (thank God!), but man is he sexy! It’s about time a romantic comedy has a male lead that isn’t prettier than his female costar. The matchmaker, played by Milo O’Shea is the glue that holds this terrific myth together. O’Shea’s narration throughout the film is hilarious. All the supporting cast is agreeable, although I don’t understand why Denis Leary gets top billing in this film (after Garafolo) . His section was very cramped, only somewhat pivotal, and could have been played by anyone. The movie follows Marcy to Ireland as she searches for Senator John McGlory’s Irish roots. She happens to near during the matchmaking festival and meets Sean, who thoroughly irritates her. You can guess what happens next. I usually despise romantic comedies. Any Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks combo makes me race for the hills! If you are like me, study The Matchmaker. If the quirky, realistic account doesn’t endear you, the soundtrack will! In fact, my ONLY complaint about The Matchmaker is that the soundtrack is not available. Do not miss this movie! It is probably sitting on the bargain shelf at your local video store, beacause not enough people know about it, or they are lacking taste. Step away from Sleepless in Seattle!! Give The Matchmaker a chance.
