"A Perfect Match" is a very unusual and dated film. While it might have worked well in 1930 (particularly in the urban centers of the country with the many immigrants), today it is just an odd curio of a bygone era.
The story begins at a wedding reception and eventually switches to the day after. All the guests are very stereotypical Jews--with very heavy Eastern European accents and all the cliches (such as being stingy) and the joked is, essentially, their accents and Jewishness. However, I've gotta be honest....there really are not that many laughs in the picture and them talking and acting VERY Jewish was THE joke. As for me, I didn't enjoy it and would have appreciated closed captions due to the accents combined with the primitive sound quality. Overall, awful and not particularly enjoyable.
