The Matchbreaker

As a romantic comedy, 'The Matchbreaker' primarily elicits Humor from its unique premise of a professional match-breaker and the comedic situations that arise. Love is a central emotion, driven by the protagonist's long-standing affection for his grade school crush, which forms the core romantic conflict. This leads to feelings of Joy and Happiness as the story progresses towards a hopeful resolution, characteristic of the genre. Hope is also prominent, particularly for the protagonist's own romantic success. Additionally, Anticipation and Curiosity are present as the audience wonders how the protagonist will navigate his morally ambiguous job and ultimately win the girl he loves, while Empathy is felt for his internal struggle and the predicaments of the characters whose relationships he's tasked to break.
