First Date

About This Movie

So, 'First Date' is this quirky comedy that dives into the awkwardness of dating, and boy, does it lean heavily on that. It's kind of raw, a bit messy, and definitely not your run-of-the-mill rom-com. The pacing has this off-kilter rhythm which mirrors the protagonist's escalating panic, especially when IBS kicks in at the worst possible moment. The practical effects play a significant role here, amplifying the cringe factor. The performances are earnest, capturing the desperation of trying to impress while dealing with bodily functions. It’s got a certain indie charm that makes it stand out, and you can’t help but appreciate the willingness to embrace such a ridiculous premise. It’s not for everyone, but if you enjoy uncomfortable humor, it’s worth a look.
