Very clever and funny. Sort of an Irish “Local Hero.”
Another of my “10s.” Okay, I admit it, I think foreign films, for the most part, are far superior to American-made movies. So shoot me. I’d rather sit through one Matchmaker or Local Hero than a zillion Jim Carey or Robin Williams movies. This is a smart, funny, beautifully photographed movie. The cast and the scenery are outstanding and there are some laugh-out-loud moments, which I won’t give away. The cast is really outstanding, the production first-rate, and Matchmaker’s heart is in the right place. I won’t reveal the plot, but Irish-American politics (think JFK) play a major role. The heartwarming and irascible Irish cast add greatly to the enjoyment. Garofalo will have to go a long way to top this one.
