In the proper context, this is a pretty good little film
planktonrules28 February 2008
This film features six couples on their first date--most of which go very poorly. Each date is shown in bits and pieces, so the film cuts back and forth between couples throughout the film.

Considering this was one of the first films that Sebastian Leda write or directed, I am willing to cut this short some slack. After all, these days most short films are made by beginners in the field--either as film school projects or in an attempt to get noticed and build a portfolio. Because of this, I don't expect the very best production values. In addition, I really think one of the IMDb reviews is unnecessarily harsh--even if the film was clichéd (I didn't really think so), giving an essentially well-made film a 2 seems unreasonable. That doesn't mean everyone needs to agree with me, but I think a film meriting a 2 must be horrible and this film is far from that. It's funny, interesting and worth a look.

I found this film in atomfilms, and I thought it was clever.

I found this film in atomfilms, and I thought it was clever. It has some clichés in it, but it also has some gems. I like how the comparison among the six dates somehow gives a meaning to the film. I have been in some of these situations, the moment you open your mouth you screw it up. Also, stay until the end of the credits, the blond chick is amazing!

Good looking short featuring stale concept.
BrettErikJohnson13 January 2004
Great production values cannot veil the fact that this is an idea that has been done to death already. Several people are shown going on blind dates. Obviously, going on a date with someone who you don't even know anything about will often lead to problems. When the filmmaker finishes covering all of the cliche situations he can, he then proceeds to have most of his cast start spouting off obscenities at each other as a replacement for intelligent dialogue. 2/10
