While its title suggests a narrower focus, "The Perfect Match" is largely an ensemble rom-com, and a pretty enjoyable one.

Overview
Charlie is a charming playboy who doesn't believe in serious relationships. His best friends bet him that if he sticks to one woman for one month, he's bound to get attached. Charlie denies this yet accepts the seemingly easy challenge, until he cross paths with the beautiful and mysterious Eva. They may agree to a casual affair, but eventually Charlie is questioning whether he may actually want more.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
As if to make up for the predictable main plot, The Perfect Match is bogged down with a slew of uninteresting B-stories.
There is a welcome (and surprising) layer of complexity running through the film that makes it a little bit more than your standard fare. The likable and funny ensemble helps too.
"The Perfect Match" is a romantic comedy by default, and mostly everyone involved is asleep at the wheel.
Woodruff, a music-video specialist with a filmography full of retreads ... has mostly made another one here.
