Director: Marian Yeager
Rejected by a dating service for being too picky, a software-minded woman decides to build something better in "Match Me If You Can," a 2023 romantic comedy directed by Marian Yeager.
What is Match Me If You Can about?
Kip Parsons has never had much patience for small talk or half-hearted matchmaking, so when an online dating platform brands her "unmatchable," she treats it as a personal challenge rather than an insult. Instead of accepting the label, she throws her technical skills into creating a rival app designed to outsmart the algorithms she thinks failed her. Along the way, her plan to prove a point collides with the messiness of actually dating, forcing Kip to confront the gap between designing a perfect system and navigating real feelings. Friends, exes, and unexpected new connections keep pulling her project off course, turning a straightforward tech rivalry into a more personal reckoning with what she actually wants from love.
Cast & crew
Georgina Reilly leads the film as Kip, balancing the character's sharp wit with a growing vulnerability as her plans get complicated. Wilson Bethel appears as a key romantic presence in her orbit, with Charlie Clark, Brian George, Veronica Wylie, Billy Armstrong, Ava Torres, and Jennifer Griffin rounding out the friends, family, and rivals who shape Kip's journey.
Context & significance
The film sits comfortably in a long line of tech-versus-romance comedies, using the familiar premise of an app built out of spite to poke fun at how much modern dating leans on algorithms and profiles rather than actual conversation. It keeps its focus light and character-driven, treating the online dating industry as a source of comic frustration rather than serious critique, which lets the romance stay front and center.
