A different way of telling a story
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreIt's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreWhere is love or slightest genuine attraction in most of the episodes? brutal non-sense coming from Patti. She sells her show that's it, that's all she cares about. Ratings go down - she fires people and become more obnoxious. She has nothing to offer. Women found on the street basically.What really, really bothers me the most is she is a 52 and looks like 30, but acts like 12 immature girl. That's how a retarded mental patient acts, in my opinion. It's a very bad combination. She is impossible to talk to. It's either her way or no way. She has no discipline or logic in her mind. I would never trust a woman like that to find me anybody.These guys are millionaires, doesn't it count for anything? You try to become one. My advise to all of them - find it yourself. Go after what you want. If you are 56, you want 24 - go after it. Find out yourself. The world is huge. This woman is a total scam, she is mostly wrong about everything. She knows she will not close a deal, and she berates the guy.People that work for her are expandable losers. Basically in her world everybody is a loser, except for her.Pathetic excuse of a dating advice. Don't take dating advice from anybody! Do it yourself. If you want to learn about fish - watch how fish swims yourself!
... View MoreThis review is not meant to offend anyone, it is just how i felt about the show and yes some people will like it but it isn't for me... everyone is entitled to their opinion.Well i saw this on TV the other day when i was up very early in the morning, nothing else was on, i don't usually watch shows like this but i thought "hey, nothing else on, lets give it a try"... it is an hour i will never get back. I can't really judge too much as like i said i have only seen it once so ill just say what i thought about that one time i saw it... Well i personally didn't know why or how it had got onto the TV. I mean every man had to be rich and every woman had to look like Barbie gone wrong. The show didn't seem to help people get a boyfriend/girlfriend at all.The host confuses me so much as the one i watched the other day showed a woman going on a date with a guy that surprisingly seemed sweet and caring... all through the date he tried making conversation etc and then he asked for a kiss and he gave her a "peck" on the lips, i thought this was sweet, the right thing to do on a first date (makes you seem like a gentleman)... but no... when he went into the host's office and told her he gave her a "peck" on the lips, she went overboard... because apparently according to the host.. he should have stuck his tongue down her throat... now i don't know about other women but for me if a man did that when i had just met him, it would have put me right off.The host makes out she is all successful etc and makes out she knows it all, better than everyone else, she knows best etc but really she knows nothing, she makes the girls act cheap and tries making the men act sleazy. The host is so gobby that no one can get a word in, it is all about what the host wants... and she is a "matchmaker" yet on the show i watched she said she was single... a single person would be the last person anyone should take relationship advice off in my opinion.I personally think this show should be banned from TV as it helps no one... this is my opinion from that one show, i can't imagine the others being different.I only rated it 1 because you can't rate lower.
... View MoreI never believed that anyone could come up with a TV show that I would despise. Reality programming has accomplished what I thought impossible. The Millionaire Matchmaker is (apparently) paid big bucks for her expertise in matching up clients. Does she use some kind of personality assessment, measure of compatibility, or even consider informally the background, education, or goals of the client and potential mate? Nope...it's all about hotness. This is bad enough but for the Matchmaker of this series to give some sort of lip service to the notions of long term relationships, marriage, and stability when the true goal is obviously nothing more than brief liaisons between the rich and the beautiful plumbs the depths of hypocrisy in a way that few other reality series have. I realize that reality TV is an oxymoron but the world being reflected by this program, be it real or not, is a completely repugnant one.
... View MoreThe Millionaire Matchmaker - well - its a title that has many possibilities for a development for a TV series, a movie of the week - even a feature film cast with endearing "girl-next-door" types trying to find a mate who they later find out ...is really a millionaire! But this tripe is none of that, don't be fooled. It is teetering on the borderline of things we've seen other women in the past few decades go to jail for - just because this woman has a TV show, and an office and employees to whom she "sends out to find the right kinda gal" on the streets (oh, boggles the mind!) what makes her any different? That's a question you'll have watching this program.The Millionaire Matchmaker takes us through the "business" of a woman who is a "headhunter for love" -- for millionaires. "Headhunter for Love??!?" Even that phrase makes me wanna shout "Objection! Cause for Speculation!" Even if you keep an open mind, you'd think that this would be endearing, interesting -- exciting. Instead it is turning out to be boring, unbelievable and very close to --- disgusting. Where the disgust? The dating? No. The Courtship? What courtship - that would be a show. Sex? Oh yes, this show is about sex and sexuality for "millionaires" who "can't find anyone" and go to this woman to help them. The matchmakers advice to both client and millionaire: "Don't have sex for 3 months" The client's and Millionaire's response, "Okay, sure" Yeah, right!What bothers me the most wasn't even about the sex and sexuality. We're all human beings and that does play into attraction. But what got to me that with every show I saw so far the dialog was like this:Matchmaker: "What kind of woman are you looking for?" Millionaire: "Oh, I dunno. Good looking, nice, in shape." Matchmaker: "Are you looking for a long term relationship? Marriage -Kids?" Millionaire: "Sure - Okay. Maybe"Are you telling me.... that a man with oodles of money, jets, first class tickets on airlines, businesses, et al -- cannot FIND this kind of woman anywhere in the world and HAS to go to this matchmaker?!?! Heck even Bill Gates, one of the shyest billionaires in the world, knew how to find a wonderful mate without THIS kind of woman. That's what makes this show utterly unbelievable. We KNOW what HE is looking for and we KNOW what the women they brought in are looking for and We KNOW what this matchmaker gets for doing this. Add this all up - and lets be honest: Xaviera Hollander, Sydney Biddle Barrows and Heidi Lynne Fleiss together SHOULD be offered a show on Bravo to show this woman exactly what she is doing and why most viewers can see though it.Goshawful show. No bravo here for BRAVO network.
