A Perfect Pairing (2022)

Got to love a Netflix rom com! No, it isn't original, but what other rom com has Baarbra? This is exactly what it looks like - a nice little feel good film you can watch whilst chilling out.

Full of cliches and romance, what's not to love? Stuart McDonald does a great job with all the little touches of your average rom com, but involves deadly snakes and showing off your crazy (and sometimes slightly drunken) self! These days, no rom com has an original plot. This is no different, but the great cast make it their own and clearly have a good time filming!

It's about chasing your dreams and doing what is right for you, even if it's difficult. It's also about changing things up, taking a risk and just hoping everything works out.

Fmovies: They still make happy endings in Hollywood. Victoria Justice proves this, in her lead role as Lola. She, along with this film, is a breath of fresh air to this viewer. All's well that ends well.

7/10 - I am certainly a sucker for Hallmark-style easy romance movies and am a Victoria Justice devotee so this movie was pretty much made for me, but I think overall, fans of either will find a lot to enjoy here.

A Perfect Pairing fmovies. I expected the usual romantic comedy, with a cliche plot, cheesy writing, and standard acting. But I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this film.

Victoria Justice was never my favorite actress but she was actually really good in this. Her acting seemed more natural than the usual actresses that get casted in these types of movies. She had a good amount of chemistry with her male lead which made the movie easy to watch.

I really liked how her character wasn't the usual over the top American female who suddenly turns into some clumsy fool who squeels after stepping in mud. Sure, Lola did some of that but it was admirable the way she embraced Australia and work on the farm.

The plot, while enjoyable, is pretty standard. The male lead is hiding a secret, which is revealed after being intimate with the female. She feels betrayed after they both opened up to each other, blah blah blah.

Have I seen this story before? Absolutely. But this movie is enjoyable if you like the familiar pacing of a rom com.

If you are wanting to watch a feel -good rom-com, this one is it. Charming Aussies, great supporting cast, script was not too cheesy -- the Aussie spirit shines. An all-around great feel. Worked for me.

All the other reviews reference it being a rom com and while true, there is a big difference between the "Hallmark" rom coms (which this movie fits squarely into the category) and blockbuster or theatrical release type rom come and they should be judged differently.

The lead actors are good, side characters too much as usual (but pretty good casting job all around), scenery is beautiful, story is fine for this genre but not overly memorable. Falls square into the formula that's created a niche audience for hundreds of these types of movies.

Run time is about an hour 45 and it provided for an entertaining early Friday evening movie.

Not the best, but better than a lot of them (as it should be as Netflix has deep pockets and creates less per year than say Hallmark does per season)
