See Jane Date

Jane (Charisma Carpenter) is an associate editor for a New York City publishing firm called Blush. Being an associate means doing a lot of work, for little glory, and living in a small, unglamorous, lower east side apartment. She approaches her boss one day and asks to be considered for a promotion. He responds by giving her a key assignment. If Jane can produce a winning book with an ex-Hollywood starlet, she'll get her raise. Trouble is, the starlet was once a classmate of Jane's, where they both competed for class office. The starlet won when she opted for a halter top wardrobe. So, there's that. Jane is also dealing with being a bridesmaid for a cousin's wedding and having no boyfriend to bring to the event. Yet, when push comes to shove, Jane tells everyone concerned that she IS dating a doctor and that he will be her guest. Wonder of wonders, she does stumble across a nice looking doc named Timothy (Antonio Sabato, Jr.) who seems just right for her situation. Will everything soon be hunky-dory for Jane? This is lovely film for those fans of light, romantic comedy. The beautiful Carpenter makes Jane an intelligent, talented, charming creature who deserves the best possible ending. Junior plays his pivotal role nicely, too and he is, well, gorgeous. The rest of the cast, although mostly unknowns, is very fine as well. The look of the film is quite wonderful, as the costumes and Manhattan setting exude polish and loveliness. In short, if you are in the mood for a nicely done romcom, do try this one. See how satisfied you are after a showing.

I was happily surprised by this made-for-TV movie. At first, the annoying jingles playing on the background in every scene really got on my nerves and distracted from the movie itself, but when one got used to that (learned to ignore it) the movie turned out to be a relatively thoughtful piece on the developing friendship between two women. The bits about dating difficulties actually started to seem a secondary plot, although they provided some funny moments too (not so thoughtful, though). I would have welcomed some less screen time given to the dating aspects and more to the description of the friendship.

Charisma Carpenter was great in her lead role, but Holly Marie Combs was not too bad either.

Charisma Carpenter is the lead actress here. She is the most wonderful natural fleshed-out TV actress since the great Adrienne Barbeau. The supporting actresses are all fine too. Very rarely in the women's movies of today are there ever any characters with attractive personalities. Let's hope that SEE JANE DATE begins a new trend!

SEE JANE DATE offers a world of mostly nice, sweet, cheerful, very beautiful 20-something ladies at work and play. It is all good-natured fluff. Safe Made-For-TV -- no heavy lifting required. If you are in the mood to watch a very light romance, give at least the first half of SEE JANE DATE a chance.

I saw this movie twice now and to be honest it's not all that bad. Sure, it's not the same quality as a romantic comedy like Notting Hill but it's OK for an evening with your loved one next to you on the couch. Leading lady Charisma Carpenter (who we all know as Cordelia in Buffy The Vampire Slayer) is acting a lot more natural in this movie compared to her acting performances in BTVS. The story is a little poor, but believable and the performances of the rest of the cast, and I'm talking about the ladies; Holly Marie Combs, Rachelle Lefevre and Sadie LeBlanc show that they are clearly having fun. Also the performance of Linda Tomassone as Morgan is funny and well done.

This could even be a TV series, "older" single girl and her dating problems, the blind-dates, the set-ups by friend etc. "Date in the City"?

Not to be a snob, but when I saw that it is a TV movie and a romantic comedy I thought this combination would be a big fail. Surprisingly I enjoyed this movie more than I thought.

While the main idea of the movie is not original: a usual thing, a single woman in her late 20's can't find the date for a wedding and looks for it. But at the same time scenes from the dates with the guys were very well done and had some hilarious humor from the good writing.

I must say the ending was surprising too, really didn't think they would go this way. Actually I liked it.

Holly Marie Combs did some great acting and I liked her character the most. Someone who surprise us and is actually multidimensional.
