Materialists


A young New York City matchmaker's lucrative business gets complicated as she finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex.

So there are few things that annoy me more than advertising a movie as something and then it not being that.   This was hyped as a romantic comedy.   There was literally not one laugh in this whole movie.  And quite honestly there wasn't much romance in it either.   I give the movie credit for being a good character drama about how matchmaking has made dating life brutal with very realistic characters and situations.  BUT . . . . that was not what was advertised.  

I would somewhat recommend this movie for anyone who wants to feel more hopeless about dating in today's world than they might already.  But if you are looking for a comedy this is absolutely not one.
