Truly Dreadful Film

Did you people see the same film I saw?

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I first come across this TV series when they were showing morning repeats in the summer, on channel 4. I always thought Alicia Silverstone was an amazing actress and movie personality, i loved her role in "clueless" and "the crush", i honestly thought i would not like this sort of TV series, but i found that it is warm, charming, funny and light-hearted. i found myself getting up early to watch it every morning i thought Alica Silverstone was so cute and right for the role, i hope they make a second season, as i come to find "Miss Match" is a match made in heaven. Amazing laughter and feel-good moments through out the series gave the show a touch of Sophistication, i really enjoyed watching the show and i believe it's just one of a kind.

I loved that show. I was waiting to see when it was next on and then nothing. I thought it was great, great actors and the weekly stories were just great escapism and funny too. The music was fab and it was something I looked forward to every week. I think ABC were sorely mistaken when they cancelled this, it should have had at least another season to see where it would go. Plenty of shows had more than one season that have not been worth watching. I totally agree with the previous comments. What a great shame. The idea of the matchmaker was a new concept alongside the whole lawyer thing and was good fun to watch. Even my boyfriend got into it. Although maybe Alicia Silverstone had something to do with that.

When "Miss Match" premiered in America, the smart money was on the series defeating its freshman competition "Joan of Arcadia" - with Alicia Silverstone back in good-hearted romantic mode and Darren Star behind the scenes, it couldn't fail up against the more dubious-sounding premise of a troubled teenage girl who has conversations with God. (LivingTV certainly seems to think so; they've bought both shows, but "Miss Match" is now airing weekly in prime time whereas "Joan of Arcadia" will be airing in June, stripped across weekday afternoons a la "Everwood.") Flashforward to March, and Amber Tamblyn's series has not only clobbered it in the Stateside ratings but also already secured a second year; unfortunately it's all too easy to see why.It's refreshing to see something from Darren Star that isn't flavoured "bitter" - unlike "Sex and the City" and the dreadful "The $treet," this series benefits from having a lead character you don't want to kill, although the once and forever Cher Horovitz suffers from having a supporting cast that, apart from Lake Bell as her sexy single bartender friend, could either be better used (especially Ryan O'Neal as her more traditionally lawyer-ish dad) or just plain better (most of the others). Sweet-tempered though it is, it's not funny or dramatic enough to really work; and how much mileage can the writers really get from the lawyer-to-all-and-better-at-other-matches-than-her-own thing? (Then again, look how long "Three's Company" ran with just one plot.)Easy to watch, and Alicia is as adorable as ever (though admit it, it's her friend who should be really beating them off), but I wouldn't get attached to it. Still, at least it's better than "Braceface." And "Sex and the City." And, in the case of Ryan O'Neal, infinitely better than "Love Story."

Miss Match is light and fun, and touches just enough on serious themes (like fear of being alone) so the show isn't entirely superficial. Alicia Silverstone is very appealing and likable. Some of the supporting cast is a bit weak, but overall the show is surprisingly good.
