Featured review
Matchbreaker, Matchbreaker break up this couple
For a film that is just about G rated The Matchbreaker was taking on an unusual
subject. A good looking young man who is hired by parents mostly to break up
their daughter's engagements to men the parents don't like. That's what Wesley
Elder does and if you weren't trying for a PG rating that would of necessity involve seduction.
That being said The Matchbreaker is an innocent bit of fluff involving a guy who loses his day job and starts doing this for a price. That is until he meets Christina Gimmie whose parents have hired him to wean her away from Ben Davies. The problem is that she's a girl he had kid crush on way back when so it gets real fast.
In my sheltered senior citizen world I had not heard of Christina Gimmie so I was shocked and saddened to read of her death and the manner of it. Reminds me a lot of the Rebecca Schaefer and Barbara Colby homicides. And of course another senseless death at the hands of a creature who should never have gotten his hand on a gun. She was a talented young singer who should have had a long career.
This film does strain credulity a bit, but it's nice entertainment.
