This had the makings of a good movie, but fell short somehow. There were a lot of characters, none of them really good, even the protagonist Mike and his "date".

Anyway they all came together at the end and the baddies and corrupt cops were seen off in a decent enough manner. There were some amusing moments, but, I don't know. They all spent a lot of time yelling at each other about crap-all, I found it immensely annoying and not in the least humorous.

Then there was a lot of loud gunfire that just went on forever. It's not something I would watch again, it was almost a relief when it was over .

I really loved First Date. It was fun, different and had a lot of quick unexpected turns. All things I love to see in an indie film. It got the comedy right and keeps you guessing "what's going to happen next?" Some great acting performances too. The director(s) really set the tone and the cast of quirky characters all find there place to shine in this well executed dark comedy.

I saw this at the at the Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival which typically slates a lot of great selections and First Date really stood out as exceptional.
