Comedy is a quick, and that goes for romantic comedies as well.

“Match Me if You Can” is an indie rom-com that just isn’t — quick or romantic. There are funny lines and a cute moment, here and there. And director Marian Yeager knows that in cinematic terms, comedy plays best when it plays out in playful closeups.

But this wilted rose of late summer doesn’t have 75 minutes worth of jokes, gags and adorable laughs. And it runs for over 100. That’s basic and a bit brutal, but it is what it is.

Georgina Reilly of the cult zombie pic ”Pontypool” stars as Kip, a self-described tech nerd (she’s a coder), “geek” and apparently “unmatchable” online dating applicant. Which causes her to go off on her lonely little blog, nailing the “I Promise” dating service to the wall for its computer-generated “Get a dog” and “unmatchable” response to her answers on their 500 entry questionaire.

Kip is outraged, and who wouldn’t be? It’s one thing to be “ghosted” by this guy or that one, and see him again in her zombie-hunting-in-the-closed-mall cosplaying with her co-workers (including the great Brian George, funny in “Seinfeld,” funnier in “Big Bang Theory” and almost funny here). It’s quite another to have an algorithm ridicule you.

Kip finds herself at loggerheads with “corporate” I Promise, basically a bunch of figureheads in a family business that was founded and is coded by the workaholic “geek” Riley (Wilson Bethel).

You know where this is headed. We all do.

She complains online. Other lonely hearts “feel seen.” She goes viral, it hurts his company so his family comes after her. And they “meet cute,” over an fish tank blowfish, no less.

The laughs must sneak in around the edges — via Kip’s actual pet, a hermit crab named Jones, who walks across her keyboard and thus engages her with I Promise, via the nerd-herd (George, Kanwar Singh and Brad Ofoegbu) in her office, her jerk of a Brit-boss (Charlie Clark) and the banter when Kip and Riley, not knowing who each other are, meet out of context.

“Are you seeing anyone?” “Like, an apparition or…a therapist?”

“I hunt zombies!” “You get medical with that?” “Absolutely. We have full union benefits now.”

“Gay?” “Ryan Reynolds confuses me, but no.”

I have to stop now, because those are literally half the laughs in the picture. The leads land their zingers well, but have no chemistry. The zombie-hunting cosplay doesn’t add up to anything fun. If you’ve seen one tech-company cubicle crew, you’ve seen them all.

A “Spill the Tea” online gossip story thread is never developed into anything amusing, nor is Kip’s bullying boss or Riley’s bland-not-colorful family.

There just isn’t much to work with here, and nothing about “Match” feels new or fresh.

Still, a quicker pace might have helped. Not much. But there’s a reason generations of comic filmmakers have demanded retakes with but one proviso — “Once again, but FASTER.”
