Deadly Radio Romance is a movie that asks a lot of its viewers but delivers little. The story concerns a radio host who hosts a show about finding love and starts a segment where her listeners can recommend gentlemen for her to date. I find this to utterly ridiculous that a person would take the rechommendations of people they do not know and only know the radio host from what they have heard on air.

Not the best, not the worst but definitely needed better writing and continuity management.

Some hot takes: 1. Why would the radio station have a bilboard for its number one show right outside of the building where the program is produced?

2 Why would the production team need candles in their area to set the mood for the "Love on the Air" program and the host does not?

3. Every restaurant scene seems to take place not only at the same restaurant but at the exact same restaurant tale.

4. How was Hailey to take care of the check after Gavin speaks Shannon to when she obviously left her purse on the table but takes her purse with her when she leaves the restaurant?

5. When hosting a radio interview, isn't it common practice for all parties to wear headphones? No on Shanon's show it seems.

6. When Shannon opens the door to her house to find the envelope with pictures left on her doorstep,, why des she have her purse on her shoulder and continues to stand in the doorway with the door open if she is so scared of a having a stalker?

"Deadly Dating Game" (a.k.a., "Deadly Radio Romance") was a film that kept struggling and eventually failed to deliver dramatic tension and the core elements of a thriller.

There was a decent premise to the narrative of a popular Texas talk radio host on a program called "Love on the Air." The star of the show invites fans to recommend dates for her after her breakup with her boyfriend. But there is a stalker who starts to ruin her life. Then, the nicest one of the dates is murdered. The beleaguered host, Shannon Baker, soldiers on with her show and seeks to discover the identity of her deadly secret admirer.

The repetitious studio scenes failed to convey the essence of a genuine romantic talk radio show. And there was too much collateral damage with the completely gratuitous deaths of poor Evelyn in New York and poor Ian in Austin.

But the fatal flaw of the film was in making obvious too soon who was the stalker. It was easy to rule out Gavin, who was clearly too decent to be the perpetrator. Without a range of other potential culprits, there was only one possible psycho within the circle of Shannon who revealed herself with too many giveaways.

The likable cast could not salvage this train wreck of a film. At one point, the heroine Shannon cries out, "Somebody's watching me!!!" And by that time, the audience knew exactly who that was.
