While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

i loved it, it was lots of fun and i thought the couple had immediate chemistry, plus his daughters were super cute!i love how they both have clearly different personality, everything flowed flawlessly for a hallmark film until the end where they rushed it a bit with your typical extreme situation that brings everyone back together in the nick of time but really its a quibble in the overall fact that i enjoyed it, i even clapped at the end!sometimes you're just in the mood for a wholesome love story that the whole family can watch without worrying about inappropriate scenes and language, also i thought it was very interesting take showing the personal lives and struggles of the people behind these online matchmaking business, kinda reminded me of "you've got mail"

I admit that I only watched this because I love Cameron Daddo and interviewed him some years ago, circa 1998. He's as delightful as he is handsome."A Kiss at Midnight" is a typical Hallmark movie. It's very sweet, about two matchmakers (Faith Ford and Daddo) who meet thanks to the efforts of the man's two daughters.Even if it's not the greatest story in the world, it certainly has a likable cast. Besides Daddo and Ford, Dyan Cannon is on hand as Ford's mom, who gets together with Hal Linden. The daughters are very cute as well.Predictable but very pleasant.

This contemporary movie about dating concentrates on these dating organizations that tend to get people to meet and wed. Here is a contemporary story where 2 people of rival firms come together and love blossoms.A major fault in this interesting film is the appearance of the nun, who is friendly to our heroine. This woman is as much a nun as the late Ida Kaminska!Dyan Cannon and Hal Linden star as a couple who meet and appear to be mismatched, certainly by the standards of Cannon's daughter, Faith Ford, our heroine in this 2008 film. The best part is is that they are totally comparable and their quick marriage should come as no surprise.The film also deals with a widower's 2 daughters who make the match between their father and Ford. Love seems to blossom until Ford finds out that her lover owns the competitive agency.Naturally, an accident in the family brings the couple together.

I have always liked Faith Ford, with her easy, natural comedic style. Here she plays a strict dramatic role in what could have been a romantic comedy but is just a romance story. Ford, 44, is Susan Flowers, about to turn 40 and wondering if she will ever find romance in her life. This is especially ironic since she runs a successful match-making business in this California valley town. The title of the movie stems from her New Year's resolution to have someone next New Year "to kiss at midnight."Cameron Daddo is Josh Sherman, head of the new dating service in town, but without the personal touch. His company uses computers to match characteristics and people, but he seems to busy to get dates for himself. This new company is taking business away from Susan, so she sets out to discredit their approach and blog about it, as a way to regain her busy business.So Susan submits her own profile to that dating company, and expects to meet several mis-matches. She starts off well, with a man that is obviously too young, and another who is a bit weird. But then the two daughters of widower Josh get into the act. They start looking for a woman for their dad and settle on Susan. I will not discuss all the things they did, but suffice to say they were able to facilitate a meeting. They quickly became attached to Susan and started to hope that she would become their new "mom." Dyan Cannon is good as Susan's single mom, Kay Flowers, who meets her own "Mr Right." The movie is pretty predictable but the two girls who play Josh's daughters are cute and fun to watch, as are the other actors.
