Dreadful, 21 April 2007
Author: jlon from Dublin

Another challenging Irish movie in the most difficult of genres - the Romantic Comedy.

A wealthy 30-something (O'Conor) attempts to find a girlfriend only to get caught up in a police case.

Lame comedy-caper that resulted in a lot of walkouts. Don't know where to start but this movie is just dreadful. Every scene stays in first gear, some are terribly handled (especially the dinner table family chats), loads of weak songs on the soundtrack (that all kick in just as a scene ends), a leading character that you won't care about (why does he hang out with such losers when he's from a wealthy family), dull photography, and a story that tries to be clever but is just smug. If you're one of the two people who liked Headrush then you'll love this picture.

Speeddating is the kind of movie that will be given away free on DVD with a Sunday newspaper.
