Ms. Matched (2016 TV Movie)
3/10
badly matched
26 August 2018
Libby Boland (Alexa PenaVega) is a hard-working wedding planner starting up with her assistant Michelle. She meets Ben Reynolds (Shawn Roberts) at a wedding convention and sparks fly. He's a writer and he's promoting his first book, 'Wedding Day Do's and Don'ts'. To her horror, his book advocates for cheap unadorned weddings.

This is Hallmark doing a Hallmark movie. Of course, Libby is a wedding planner. The guy is so clueless that he doesn't get why she's mad. He's literally destroying her business and doesn't know why she's not head over heels over him. It would be so much better if he doesn't do the puppy dog face and go full antagonist. He comes off as dumb which his character is definitely not. It's not endearing to her and it's very frustrating. He needs to understand her point of view or else he comes off as a bad match. That's the crux of this movie. They need to be a good match but the movie does nothing other than they're relatively photogenic. She's no catch either in her superiority. Neither are appealing and they only match as infuriating characters. There is a way to do this but this movie has no clue getting there.
