~The MatchMaker ...Week-End

I have taken a 3 day week-end to try to get my head together. So I am in much need of a chick-flick week-end. So here it goes...

The MatchMaker (1997)

When election campaigner Marcy Tizard arrives in Ballinagra Ireland to track down the ancestral roots of U.S. Senator John McGlory, romance is the last thing on her mind. But this otherwise sleepy village is in the middle of its annual matchmaking festival, and the locals have money on it that she'll be fixed up in no time.
