	The Matchmaker
		The Matchmaker is a 'soft' romantic comedy with a feminist (Janeane Garofalo) central character who struggles in her job as an aide for a Massachusetts Senator (Jay O. Sanders).
		She arrives in Ireland during the annual matchmaking contest, an age-old tradition whose current champion is the lyrical Milo O'Shea.
		Everyone, it seems, becomes a player in the matchmaking, except for Leary, of course, because he is in the film only to round out the full compliment of comedic characters and he is much too dense to even understand love.

		Of all the marriage-minded weapons in the matchmaker’s arsenal, the advertisements were among the most powerful.
		Hell, he’d done his share of warming up the long nights with someone soft and biddable and more than able to fill out the ‘fit of her shirtwaist.’ Granted, he hadn’t had time for any of that for a while now...but that didn’t mean he needed his friends and neighbors making him look the fool.
		If she was the matchmaker, stopping her activities would improve work at his lumber mill and fulfill his promise to the Men’s Club, both.

	Realmslore: The Matchmaker of Sembia, Part One
		Sometimes the matchmaker is asked to convince the parents of the chosen mate that the union is desirable, and sometimes the matchmaker is requested to take whatever measures seem necessary (often through hired actors, arranged events, and even drugs) to drive unwilling heirs and mates into each others' arms.
		In short, a matchmaker is a person who arranges for noble, wealthy, and socially climbing folk to set up matches for their sons and daughters with the sons and daughters of other noble, wealthy, or socially climbing folk.
		Her scent and makeup (particularly eye-shading) is heavy, her voice tends to be harsh -- even when she's trying to purr alluringly -- and her walk is bowlegged (hence her frequent reliance on a gold-handled cane and liberal use of coins to surround herself with handsome and ardent young men at social functions).

	James Sanford reviews The Matchmaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Unfortunately, this "Matchmaker" has nothing to do with the story that was later made into "Hello, Dolly." Instead, it's an off-kilter romantic comedy that pits Garofalo's city-savvy wit against the whimsy of the citizens of an Irish hamlet: "Hello, Blarney" might have been a better title.
		When Marcy is dispatched to the tiny town of Ballinagra on a mission to uncover the would-be Senator's Irish roots, she's roped into the annual Matchmaking Festival: As a good-looking, single young woman, she finds she's as coveted as a four-leaf clover.
		Individual bits and pieces of "Matchmaker" play out pleasantly; particularly sweet are scenes of Marcy judging an amateur singing contest and trying to deal with a cubicle of a hotel room.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of The Matchmaker
		'The Matchmaker' is pleasant, wispy vacation of a movie, perked up by some handsome landscapes and the matter-of-fact charm of star Janeane Garofalo.
		She arrives just in time for the annual matchmaking festival, turning her into a target for every marriage peddler in the neighborhood.
		There's also a positively painting-esque shot at the beginning of Chapter 11 that is startling beautiful, unfortunately Joffe doesn't attempt to maintain the look, sliding back instead to the comfortable, mudane ton that pretty much blankets the whole enterprise.

		And the village is in the midst of its annual matchmaker festival -- in which lasses and lads are brought together.

		The Matchmaker also struggles for a sort of Local Hero charm, but lacks that film's wonderful whimsy and irony.

	The Matchmaker
		Well, meet The Matchmaker, one of those quirky romantic comedies that somehow manages to mix old with new and bring plenty of laughs along the way.
		As the modern 90's girl thrown into old town Ballinagra, Garofalo plays the fish-out-of-water bit in her uniquely acerbic style, throwing in generous portions of sarcasm and sincerity as required by the story.
		The Irish setting is gorgeous, the characters are funny, and the mood is pleasant enough to make you leave the theater with a smile.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: The Matchmaker
		She arrives in the town of Ballinagra in the middle of its annual matchmaking festival, where single men and women converge and two local matchmakers do their best to make that permanent connection.
		But rather than exploiting the festival and having the matchmakers sic endless numbers of helpless geeks upon our fair lady, she's quickly paired up with one and that is pretty much that for lots of possible gags.
		There are plenty of laughs to be found in The Matchmaker which is probably enough, now that we're coming into the season of ultra serious Oscar wannabe flicks.

	THE MATCHMAKER
		Romantic Comedy: A political aide, hoping to garner votes for her Senator, travels to Ireland looking for his genealogical roots and finds herself in the middle of a local matchmaking festival.
		Not that she's not a lovely person and may be in a perfectly fine relationship in real life, but she often portrays characters in her standup comedy routines and in her films that haven't had luck with finding a partner and romance in general.
		It's off that portrayal that the plot of this movie hinges, and it works perfectly well as she ends up stuck in a foreign land's matchmaking festival.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Matchmaker" review
		I came in to "The Matchmaker" a few minutes late, and the first line of dialogue I heard was "I was just rubbing Muffy."
		I had high hopes for "The Matchmaker." Starring Janeane Garofalo (who makes me laugh helplessly) as a senatorial aide visiting Ireland in search of the senator's roots for campaign fodder, I was ready to settle in for some rich, comic cynicism.
		He provides a lead in for forcibly quaint splashes of local color (Marcy judges a singing contest) and prattles on about the validity of certain romantic clichÈs, as if he were trying to justify the screenplay.
