Speed-Dating Looking for Love? Don't Try "Speed Dating"
The new film, "Speed Dating" is an inane comedy centering on an inherently wealthy man and his two childhood friends. These womanizers/roommates concoct an idea for speed dating in which they ultimately end up sleeping with most of the women. Speed dating is a social event where men and women get to know each other in a very brief fashion alone then move on to the next, however theirs was just an utterly confusing process that tried to be comical but really just fell flat.
The guy's actions eventually catch up to them when women decide to take revenge for their hurt feelings. These crazed women try kidnapping as well as cooking up a faux relationship only to break the cad's heart..
The movie was supposed to be about men learning the error of their ways; giving into love even though that was never an option and learning to embrace people without fear of abandonment. Good intentions but this film was poorly executed.
The writing and direction for this film is confusing and leaves you loaded with questions. Surprisingly there are some big names associated with this movie...Wesley Johnathan stars, Chico Benymon co-stars, and Holly Robinson Peete, and Clint Howard, brother of director Ron Howard make an appearance. But even that couldn't save this mind numbing, low budgeted, snore of a film.
Flip pass this one whenever it does make it to TV.
I give it ½ $.
