Hungarian - speed dating
24 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Two leading Hungarian actors go head to head in this speed dating duel of a movie. Brad Pitt and George Clooney Hungarian way. Well almost. Péter lives a structured life with his daughter and works an unusual job at a company specializing in matchmaking. However, his position is in peril when a sleuth rival matchmaking company is suddenly soaring beyond their numbers and the only person who can help is his toughest client hopelessly in love with a kindergarten teacher. Péter personally takes on the job, but to his misfortune falls for the same woman he is trying to set his client up with. Trying to hold back his feelings to save his company, Péter can only keep up his professional facade up for so long until a massive unveiling exposes a secret.

Due to its witty dialogue, humorous moments, and relatively formulaic plot with a surprising twist this romantic comedy was an immense success in Hungary. Set against a beautiful backdrop of the countryside in Hungary, this feel good film is a lovely break from reality. With a wonderful cast to pull all the pieces together, along with a particularly talented little girl playing Péter's daughter. Tamás Sas's SOS Love is a memorable romantic comedy, particularly enjoyable due to its aloofness and breezy rhythm.
