The greatest movie ever made..!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

somehow it just seemed set up to me. I don't think it was a documentary. Well OK maybe it was, if it was I enjoyed it. If it was all a ruse i thought it was terrible. Well I have made my point. However I am required to write a bigger review, so I will continue to write. Hopefully I will not have to write for much longer as I have nothing to say at this point. OK let's see if it will take my comment now. No it's still not taking it. Let's hope God steps in soon and fixes this pathetic mess of a world we live in very soon. I can't believe it, it is still not taking my comment! How about those Dodgers huh? Could be a play off year.

Myles Berkowitz stars and direct's his version of the difficulties in finding a date near the end of the 21's century. While Myles can be annoying and shallow as the New York version of a California Vally Girl, he personifies the distress a 30ish single American male experiences attempting to find a date. I'd love to have his problems: his producer wants him to date a porno star, Tia Carrere and a host of beautiful California women.

Filmed in a documentary style, but you can pretty well tell participants had been coached. A recently divorced wannabe film maker(Myles Berkowitz)sees a chance to liven up his love life and step into the movie biz at the same time. He intends to make a documentary piece about finding love by filming twenty dates including ramifications. The comedy is spotty at best; the rest is mishap after mishap. Also taking part are Richard Arlook, Robert McKee and the enticing Elisabeth Wagner. Trying for credibility the fetching Tia Carrere is talked into a cameo. This will suffice as a handbook on how NOT to get a satisfactory date.

Like Len, I don't understand why this movie didn't rate higher. From the moment '20 Dates' started, I could not tear myself away from it. Throughout, I was either cheering for Myles, laughing at Myles (not with), or PO'd at Myles. The point being, unlike many other films I've seen in recent years, I actually cared about the main character (who in this instance, happens to be a real guy) and I cared about what happened to him. If you have even a minimal interest in "reality shows" like 'Blind Date' or 'Shipmates, this movie is a must see, because where these shows just scratch the surface of finding love, '20 Dates' takes you on the quest for love from beginning to middle to what I was hoping would not be the end. I'm not a big fan of narration in films, even if they are documentaries. I prefer to watch and understand a story as it unfolds, and I would have preferred it if this film didn't have to rely upon it, but as the title of my commentary suggests, it is really funny to watch. 8/10 stars from me.
