Review of The Perfect Date (2019) by Lol_Ooook — 23 Apr 2019

Once again Netflix provides a teen romcom that is vastly beyond predictable and repeats the same, being there done that, plot of almost every mass produced romcom movie these days. This movie sells to viewers the idea of "finding yourself" through the main character hiring himself out for numerous dates in exchange for cash, however at the beginning of the film he seems somewhat solid on his goals and future aspirations.

This wavering character then somehow ruin all his relationships, between friends and family, but like all other teen romcoms miraculously pulls it all together within the last 10 minutes. The acting is corny and the inside FRIENDS jokes even cornier.

It quotes "chivalry is not dead" but this movie proves quite the opposite and weakens all hope I have left for this generation, the one I am unfortunately stuck in. A complete waste of time, and honestly if you have seen one Netflix original romcom then you have also seen this one too.

For once I would love to watch a film with some real craftsmanship that can fit into this category from this century but I am yet to find one, and something that you can preferably not foretell the entire movie from the first 15 minutes into the movie.

But I guess that's what a high percentage of the masses want so just provide what sells, again the industries putting profit as their highest priority above the true artistry of film...
