Summary: Wonderful story with beautiful scenery
Review: I had never heard of this movie. A friend suggested I give this one a try. I found myself laughing so hard during most of it. It has a good story and the scenery is incredible. I've been to Ireland and this movie made me want to go back there again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matchmaker appeals to the WEE Bit O'Irish in us all
Review: My family and I are avid movie affecionados and this movie is one of our all time favorites. Ms Garafalo and Mr O'Hara eminate a chemistry and renews the faith of the thirty something crowd that the world and romance are still alive and well. The wistful blend of culture, comedy and romance gives the viewer a much needed respite from the humdrums of daily living. The Matchmaker, Dermott O'Brien, brings out the wee bit O'Irish in us all. The breathtaking country setting, the music and exceptional actng transported me to a different place and time and brings a smile to my face each and everytime I take a minute to dream.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stitch in my side
Review: I love this movie. Cracks me up consistently, and there's a 'singing' competition I can't even watch because I'm laughing too hard.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: everything you need to smile
Review: This movie is a quarranteed smile. It is also everything I ever wanted Ireland to be. Beautiful, charming, and warm, the video has a sharp sense of humor, and it makes you long to go to a town just like Ballinagra. Garafalo is warm and you can almost sense what her character (Marcy) is feeling. David O'Hara's character is cynical, funny, and morally uplifting. I know this sounds corny, but it is a wonderful movie. I would recommend it to anyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellant
Review: Iam from Ireland and would you believe it they dont have the movie over here. I veiwed it over in the States during a visit in 1999. When I came home I wanted such much to get this movie to show my parents and friends and much to my disappointment they dont have this excellant movie to veiw over here. Ireland MUST get this movie and you must veiw it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like an Irish Local Hero
Review: The sly humor of this movie made me laugh from start to finish, and I thoroughly enjoyed the chemistry between David O'Hara and Janeane Garofalo.

The story is pretty straightforward, but thanks to a wonderful supporting cast, beautiful scenery, and great music, the viewer is kept interested all the way to the end.

Well worth adding to your movie collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really funny
Review: My wife and I thouroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, but I need to know if there is a soundtrack for the great music. Can anyone help?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Side-splitting Fun
Review: This movie had me rolling from the beginning. I'd never really seen Janeane Garafalo before, and I think she's fabulous in this film! I recommend this to anyone who loves romantic comedies and is sick of Meg Ryan. I only give one warning: the "f" word is used, and used often (because that's the way people speak--HELLO!), but it may offend some folks (it did my inlaws), so we're probably pointing at late baby-boomers and early Generation X'rs for this one. My favorite line is still the one where Garafalo is calling her boss from the "smallest f-ing room in the world..." Absolutely loved it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: where's the soundtrack
Review: i am looking for the soundtrack to the matchmaker and have been for quite sometime. if anyone out there can tell me where to find it please let me know.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Matchmaker Review
Review: Janeane Garofalo did a wonderful job in this. I even read that this was her favorite movie that she made. The chemistry between David O'Hara(sean) and Janeane Garofalo(marcy) was shocking. The humor also was side spliting. If you are not a romantic or a comedy kind of person you sould get it for just the location. It was actullaly filmed in Ireland. A place I now believe to be the most beautiful places. And if all this don't make you wont to buy this the music is also excellent. I just wish they had made a soundtrack. I have to say this is my favorite movie and I have seen my fair share of movies mabye more.
