Though The Perfect Find struggles with the romance aspects of its story, the adaptation's commentary on finding love late in life is a pure delight.
It’s important to note right away that Numa Perrier’s The Perfect Find isn’t anything we haven’t scene before. In fact, it’s all the rom-com tropes we love combined with a high-fashion setting, which also happens to celebrate old-time cinema. Adapted from the book of the same name by Tia Williams, Leigh Davenport’s script sees a down-and-out, middle-aged woman pick up and stitch together the broken pieces of her life.
Perrier’s adaptation is a vibrant romantic comedy that serves as a small love letter to Old Hollywood, while serving great messages about never giving up on dreams no matter how old you are. Through Union’s Jenna, who spent a year in hiding at her parents' house, there’s an inspiring lesson about having it all, but working hard to achieve it. Sure, these themes are as cliché as you would expect out of a romantic comedy, but they are never presented in a way that feels silly or bland.
