{Todd}Jan 31, 2021When everything went off the rails in one scene at the end I had a ton of fun and I think this would have benefited from being seen with a crowd. Didn't quite deliver what I wanted and I think a few key changes could have made this absolutely amazing but hey, still fun
Amanda the JediJan 31, 2021SUNDANCE FEATURE #15 i...... none of this made any damn sense 😭 the only coherent character arc was: random side character who finishes too fast --> eventually demonstrates that he has seen an episode of shark tank. i am so sad for everyone rejected from sundance this year

I always said I wouldn't give anything half a star but CHRIST. I have never seen a film like this, a film without one redeemable quality. The acting is abysmal, the lighting is blown out. The sound is grating, the mix is completely uneven. The direction is attempting to…
ZaneJan 31, 2021The young leads are fantastic, but honestly, I want a FARGO-style crime-comedy TV show starring Nicole Berry and Samuel Ademola's Sergeant and Deputy. They steal the whole movie every time they're on screen. FIRST DATE is essentially an African-American and…
Dave BaxterFeb 2, 2021FIRST DATE has some below average filmmaking mostly due to budget constraints but its scrappy underdog quality along with its witty screenplay lends it a certain level of charm that I couldn’t resist. Moves as fast as its 65 Chrysler with bursts of violence & humor.…

Sundance Film #2 This was a very fun film imo. The screenplay is pretty witty and clever, but some of the acting holds it back, which is understandable for low budget films like this. We follow a kid who gets a car to pick up his date, but he gets into trouble after…
JabeJan 31, 2021Sundance 2021 #6 Honestly this was not a good movie. Yikes. But hey, these filmmakers went out there and made a movie and got into Sundance so hats off to them for somehow pulling off a miracle. The cinematography, sound design, editing, and acting all give off major…

What follows is a barrage of gunfire, wah-wah guitars and a surprising amount of novelty and heart for a film that can feel as if it’s a road trip through the directors’ inspirations.

More concerned with paying homage to ’90s-era Quentin Tarantino than telling a contemporary coming-of-age tale with believable stakes, co-helmers Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp’s debut feature First Date saddles a young couple not with a romantic night out, but with a haphazard all-nighter crime-comedy that’s mostly unfunny and free of convincing suspense.

First Date is a very ambitious independent film with a charming, casual attitude.
