So, 'Speed Dating' is one of those films that leans heavily into the awkwardness of modern romance. The pacing is brisk, reflecting the chaotic nature of speed dating itself. You’ve got this likable but hapless protagonist who stumbles through a variety of dates with women that are, well, less than compatible. The comedy feels very situational, relying on these quirky characters and their bizarre interactions. The performances are decent; some moments feel genuinely relatable, while others veer into the absurd, which adds to its charm. The practical effects or lack thereof keep things grounded, which is refreshing. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but that’s what makes it distinctive in the landscape of rom-coms from the era.
