The Dating List Movie Reviews

Good movie

This movie is more complex than I anticipated with a few twists thrown in. The lead is surprisingly goofy and everybody is flawed but usually for understandable reasons, which makes them less stereotypical than initially appears. It almost feels like a pilot for a longer run and I would watch more. There’s not a massive age range of characters, but youngsters could watch too and anyone feeling a bit unconfident in life would probably feel better about things after.

What a pleasant surprise

Now this is superior schmaltz – escapist and fluffy and with the mandatory HEA but some lovely values and convincing connection between the lead actors. A well written and well-rounded script. I could envisage this as the pilot of a tv series and I was left wanting more of these characters.

I couldn’t take my eyes and ears of this movie which was a bad thing as I had it in the background for routine paperwork and I was not supposed to be distracted ha ha ha. I had had to switch it off until I met my deadline and put on something more mundane.

I really liked the wit and edge to the writing.

Predictable, but charming

For a TV movie, it was rather enjoyable. Rom-com is a genre that I personally find the least success in. But even though it covers a lot of cliche’s and you exactly how it’s going to end, there is a charm to it. The characters are likable and the writing has a sharp wit to it when it needs to.
