The Matchmaker
A comedy for the incurably unromantic.
Directed by Mark Joffe
Produced by Good Film Company, Working Title Films
A lighthearted romantic comedy about a cynical campaign worker who finds unexpected love and community in a charming Irish village.
Marcy, a worker in the reelection campaign of bumbling Senator John McGlory, is sent to Ireland on a quest to find the Irish ancestry of Sen. McGlory, to help him win the Irish vote. But when Marcy arrives in the small village of Ballinagra, she finds herself in the middle of a matchmaking festival, and the local matchmaker is determined to pair her off with one of the local bachelors.
