MR. PERFECT ON PAPER

Narrator Dara Rosenberg gives a magnificent performance of this hilarious and heartwarming rom-com. Dara Rabinowitz, a 30-something developer of a Jewish matchmaking app, appears on a television show hosted by anchor Chris Steadfast. Dara's matchmaker grandmother, Bubbe Miriam, accompanies Dara and shares with the audience the list of qualities Dara is seeking in her perfect Jewish husband-to-be. Dara reluctantly agrees to be filmed on a series of dates, and after a disastrous one, she meets an emergency room physician named Daniel, who checks all her boxes. Yet Dara finds herself drawn to the gentle widower Chris and his delightful 11-year-old-daughter, Lacey. Rosenberg expresses the wit, charm, and sensibility of every character, including Miriam's friends and Chris's kindhearted neighbors, firefighter Jenkins and his wife, Katie. M.J.
