THE PERFECT MATCH | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"THE PERFECT MATCH"
(2016) (Terrence Jenkins, Cassie Ventura) (R)

QUICK TAKE:: Comedy: A playboy finds himself falling in love for the first time with a woman who may just be unattainable.

PLOT:

Charlie (TERRENCE JENKINS) is the quintessential L.A. playboy. He's an entertainment industry agent who has never had a steady relationship, but instead has enjoyed a myriad of one-night stands and uncommitted hook-ups. Charlie's sister, Sherry (PAULA PATTON), wonders if her brother will ever commit to a woman two decades after the tragic loss of their parents. When his best friend, Victor (ROBERT CHRISTOPHER RILEY), gets engaged to longtime girlfriend, Ginger (LAUREN LONDON), Victor and their mutual buddy, Rick (DONALD FAISON), bet Charlie he can't stay true to one woman until Victor's wedding. Charlie happily accepts the bet, while Victor deals with his Bridezilla and Rick knuckles through possible infertility problems with his wife, Pressie (DASCHA POLANCO).

Into Charlie's life walks the beautiful, but slightly mysterious Eva (CASSIE VENTURA). She has only done long-term, committed relationships, but is intrigued to try something more casual with no strings attached for the first time in her life. So, she and Charlie start seeing each other, having casual sex at his house and in a public restaurant. Meanwhile, Charlie has to deal with a crooked boss named Marty (JOE PANTOLIANO), who wants him to sign rapper French Montana (HIMSELF) to a contract that is more in their agency's favor than the recording artist's.

Charlie's real passion is photography, though, and Eva encourages him to pursue this love. He gradually falls for her. But he then learns she's been playing him and is engaged to be married to someone else. Will Charlie return to his life of cheap thrills, or will he finally grow up and move forward with his life? And will it be with Eva?

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Some older teens may have some interest due to the young cast and high sex quotient.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R: For sexuality, some nudity, and language throughout.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
