Movies like this make one wonder if Netflix has found an algorithm that makes them pay off. Their track record with youth rom-coms and sex-comedies (this is the former, decidedly PG with a smattering of profanity) is stellar. Read full review

It’s fine! It’s perfectly pleasant! If you like teen movies, you’ll most likely enjoy watching it. And then you will most likely never think about it again. Read full review

From the casting of Centineo to the climax at a school dance, The Perfect Date feels engineered by Netflix algorithms. The resulting film, directed by Chris Nelson, feels as inauthentic and unsure of its identity as its hero. Read full review

Brooks Rattigan wants it all. The perfect girlfriend, a sweet ride, and to go to Yale. The problem? He's broke. Luckily, there's an app for that.

The perfect girlfriend, a sweet ride, and to go to Yale. The problem? He's broke. Luckily, there's an app for that. One that lets women go on fake dates with him where they get to customize his personality to their liking. Unexpectedly charming and hilarious antics ensue.

It doesn't deviate from standard teen rom-com mold much. Brooks neglects his friends, screws things up with a girl he's actually compatible with, and ultimately learns his lesson ending everything on a happy, sentimental note. The morals of finding out who you are, not becoming someone you aren't, and money not being anything are still relevant to teens today despite not being anything new. It's light, fluffy entertainment and that's not always a bad thing despite what you might here from people with their heads too far up their pretentious rectums.

Noah Centineo is really the main reason all of this works. The dude is just so incredibly charismatic. Managing to come off as your average, everyday relatable guy while still looking like he's been chiseled from marble. The supporting cast is all pretty great too. All very attractive and good in their roles. The absolutely adorable Odiseas Georgiadis being the standout for his non-stereotypical portrayal of a gay person. The dialog they're all given can be kind of unnatural. I've never met a single teenager with even half the verbal wit these kids have, although they've all been twice as snarky. It breaks the illusion a bit by revealing just how much the movie is trying to show us a picture perfect version of life, but whatever. I still laughed a bunch and despite all of the clichés think it's actually pretty exceptional at making these well-worn tropes feel fun again.… Expand

"The Perfect Date" possui alguns momentos foleiros, mas o filme é fofo. Realmente, Noah Centineo e Laura Marano funcionaram bem juntos.

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...… Expand
