Matchmaker [DVD] [1997] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

I was truly delighted to find 2 copies of this quite rare film at such a great price. I put them on to see if they worked ok, and ended up watching the whole thing again. Still such a great movie. & so delighted that i now have it on DVD, My brother will be very happy with having a copy as well.

Talk about snide humour and satisfying romance! Janeane Garofolo is at her wittiest as Marcy, a political aide from Boston, who flies to Ireland to search for her senator's roots in a last ditch political gimmick, ending up stuck in a small Irish village at the height of a matchmaking festival.Janeane spars beautifully with David O'Hara (Stephen from Braveheart), who is funny, dead-pan, and really kinda yummy in his role as Sean, a disillusioned journalist-turned-bartender. The two leads both irritate and fascinate each other as they dodge matchmaking attempts during their fruitless search for a mythical family called the McGlorys.Wonderful performances by Milo O'Shea and Dennis Leary. It's a pity that this film is not available on UK DVD. Really a remarkable romance with no mush!

This has finally come to dvd, I had it previously saved on my HDD of the tv... It's very much a Sunday afternoon viewing. It's a Romantic Comedy ,but ,and most importantly in this day and age, It's a romantic comedy that does exactly what it says on the tin, It is both Romantic in that there is definite chemistry between the two leads, and Comedic in that it is funny, very funny. I really love this movie, I can't reccomend it highly enough, Go on, Buy it, you know you want to.... :D

I loved this movie when it first came out. I have been searching years for it on DVD and was pleasantly surprised to find it on Amazon. It was inexpensive and arrived promptly.

Haven't actually watched this item as it was a gift for my parents & they have thoroughly enjoyed it... So though I can't speak for it myself, it has been an awesome treat & a great laugh out loud belly laugh for my parents... And indeed a good purchase for me to have bought them...

A bit of Irish craic.

I really enjoy this movie and the British copy is better than the American copy because it is in anamorphic widescreen whereas the American one is letterbox widescreen. So when it is upscaled on my big screen television is looks a lot better.

One of my favourite films , completely wrong format for English dvd settings very disappointed

I have owned this film in VHS and DVD, but computers don't seem to come with DVD players anymore, so I sold my collection, assuming I could stream every video I lost. Oops. Not this one.After years of getting weak fixes from YouTube trailers, I just had to go to Walmart to buy an LG DVD burner/player for $26. I plugged the player into my cheap laptop's URL port. It took me forever to figure out which of the dozens of the player's downloaded driver files actually played the movie. Finally I found it: "VIDEO TS." But it worked. The film was jittery because of the cheap computer, but I watched the whole movie at once. It's still one of the most fun, charming films out there. I plan to share this DVD with everyone I know who has a player.

I was so surprised and happy to find this movie on Amazon, our old one was on VHS. It’s a feel good Story set in Ireland. Pour yourself a shot of Irish whiskey and enjoy!

This DVD was not up to scratch when we finally found a player to watch it the picture quality was very poor as was the sound.

great story, great music, great casting great pictures, ... really that's one of my best movies ... next to this Ireland is a place to go

Didn't take long to get here. Very quick, Love this movie - one of my all time favourites
