The Matchbreaker is a 2016 independent romantic comedy film produced and directed by Caleb Vetter, and starring Wesley Elder, Christina Grimmie, Osric Chau, Victoria Jackson, and Tessa Violet. The film follows a man whose occupation is breaking up girl's relationships for their deploring parents, and at the same time trying to win over a girl whom he knows since middle school.
The film premiered at Arclight Cinema Dome, Los Angeles, California on October 4, 2016, and was released in selected theaters on October 7. The film was released for digital download on December 6.
This film features the only motion picture performance by the late American singer and pianist Christina Grimmie, who was shot to death at a meet and greet in June, 2016, following her performance at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida.
The film opens with Ethan Cooper, a clerk at a computer repair shop, retelling a story to his roommate Sam about his long-lasting infatuation with a girl he knew in middle school.
Ethan and Sam are late on their rent payment, so Ethan is planning to ask his boss for a raise. Unfortunately, he gets fired from his place of employment for refusing to accept a number of payments for fixed computers.
One day, while visiting his sister Lexy Cooper, a florist, at a flower shop, Ethan gets an offer from Mrs. Taylor to get rid of her daughter's, Veronica's, boyfriend in exchange for some money. He succeeds, but accidentally gets Veronica infatuated with him. Upon succeeding, Mrs. Taylor recommends Ethan to other disapproving parents, thus making him a match-breaker, and making his "business" prosperous.
Sometime later, he gets a yet another offer from a dissatisfied parent. To get more information about the daughter's boyfriend, Ethan meets her at a jazz club, where she apparently sings at nights. It turns out that the daughter is actually Emily Atkins, the same girl whom Ethan was gushing about to his roommate, Sam. He tries to talk to her but quickly loses his sanguinity and fails.
