Critics Consensus

Gabrielle Union and Keith Powers bring palpable chemistry to The Perfect Find, delivering a low-key rom-com suitable for a comfy couch watch.

A predictable rom-com, but it was the smaller moments that made it for me.

A pretty middling rom-com... I didn't find any real chemistry between the two of them.

The Perfect Find is a strong showcase for Union, who gets to play a lot of notes as Jenna: funny, sexy, anxious, nostalgic, inspired.

Along with the lovely old school romantic comedy plotting, there is some rich film history texture.

2.5/5

Charm and wit shall always be fashionable, two things lacking in this stylish rom-com. Gina Torres and Gabrielle Union are terrific, but they deserve a more compelling script.

Gabrielle Union is wonderful in this romantic comedy about a woman falling in love for a younger man.

I pray people don't discover this movie. As fun as it was to watch the trajectory of her fashion career, everything else was a sheer disappointment. Sexual attraction to someone over a dozen years older or younger than you is something I am not woke enough to understand. Great cinematography, great shots—just a plot that did not need to exist, ever.

"The Perfect Find" es la definición de monotonía. Más allá de ser un reconocimiento —y en cierta forma un tributo— al cine de antaño, esta cinta no sobresale en ningún apartado. No diría que es precaria; es agradable de ver, el soundtrack es posiblemente lo mejor de la propuesta (a diferencia de la banda sonora, que es lamentable) y los protagonistas no actúan mal, aunque entre ellos nunca sentí química. Es la típica película que encontrarías en el catálogo de cualquier plataforma de streaming: un conflicto ligero diseñado para apagar el cerebro y disfrutar después de un día pesado. Siempre he defendido estas propuestas cuando logran elevar la fórmula estándar, pero esta cinta apenas cumple con lo mínimo. En ningún momento es irritante ni se siente pesada, pero en un mar de películas que se ven y se sienten exactamente igual, esta no hace nada por destacar.

I’ve only watched the movie because of Union but it was the most mediocre movie I’ve ever watched. Just a case of a failure of a partner when announcing pregnancy and no apologies given when they got together and a case of a mama boy for a fourty something women. The bar is in HELL.

I only hope the original author was satisfied with this film, as mediocre as it is.

Great performances, chemistry, and costumes. The script provides an earnest examination of a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. Well known actors are definitely worth a watch.

Unreal bond, I dislike the 20year old granny line. So much unreal moments
