Is this movie predictable? Yes. A little cheesy. For sure. A mashup of teen movies before it. Oh Hell Yeah. But even for a cynic like me, I have to say it was a sweet little movie. And hey, it has the right message-look after your friends and family, be true to yourself and here's a novel idea-embrace something positive.
It was refreshing to see something innocent..

This is nothing original but if you're looking for a feel good movie then this would do okay. It's actually pretty cute albeit very predictable. I really liked the character of Celia. To be honest, this would be a hit if it were an 80s movie.

It was a fine movie. Predictable like every other teen movie, but fun to watch. So ignore all the nonsense reviews claiming they need their time back. My guess is their time isn't worth more than anyone else's who's chosen a Netflix teen movie for some easy watching. Plenty of funny moments and plenty enjoyable.

I guess this movie is a little bit predictable, but also enjoyable and sends a really good message to the audience. The fact that nowadays everyone's obsessed with trying to be perfect, even though it's impossible to reach is quite pointed out.
I liked the chemistry that was between the two main characters and the fact that they would eventually end up together was a little prominent, but the storyline was much better than what you would expect just from the title of the movie alone.
It's nothing too complicated or twisted, but I feel like it's a good enough of a movie to watch on a lazy day and it also left a good feeling in you afterwards. I would recommend if you're looking for nothing too sensitive or serious, just some good swapped movie to watch.

I almost fell asleep 3 times while watching this movie. Do yourself a favor and watch something worth your time. The characters have very little chemistry and poor personal development. Besides their storylines being shallow, it was even more unbearable having to watch another stereotypical "I'm not like other girls/I'm sarcastic and wear combat boots" trope on screen. Even though I like Noah Centineo, it gets tiring seeing him play the same roles over and over again. He can do better.

Yes, this is a rom com by the numbers, fully up to date with fun and games around dating apps. But the two leads have genuine charm and spar off each other with believable chemistry. Whilst probably not a film that you will remember in years to come, you will nevertheless have a very enjoyable 90 minutes watching this.

Okay yes the story isn't much good. But sometimes you wanted to watch friends rather than game of thrones this is for those who like watching high school movies like me . It's fun, romantic and simple nothing beyond. Characters are simple. Actors are great. Music is also good. And yes cinematography is top notch. Overall Can Give a Try.

I watched the movie only because of Noah Centineo but now I feel his whole acting career is to basically play the same guy!!!
He just copied every element of Peter Kavinsky and did it much worse.
I'm done with these Netflix movies.
It's literally the same as all other Noah Centineo movies. The same writing and plot line and storyline of all teen Netflix original movies recently. Same aesthetic, same soundtrack, same morals and same story. But, I loved it lol. If you're after something new and innovative, this isn't it. But if you're after a feel-good teen romance movie with that aesthetic and cute adorable Noah Centineo dorky smile? Then this is a nice hour and a half for you
The Perfect Date is a coming of age teen rom-com. For this demographic it's a relatable movie with a positive message.
It's predictable. You know how most of the movie will play out. However the characters are likable and this keeps you engaged. The Beverly Hills 90210 vibes is also cool.
Light watching. If you got Netflix it's worth watching.

I went with no expectations at all but it was likeable, mainly because the lead was extremely cute. Now, this movie is for a special target audience..teens who are into romcoms...so, if it fits the bill..its worth a watch!

This impressive piece is so uninteresting, flat, annoying, and offensively stupid I am debating making it my life goal to isolate myself in a cave where no news of terrible Netflix films can ever reach me. Characters are built on simple concepts, and not developed or fleshed out in the slightest. Somehow they lack any motivation at all! Not a single hint of reasonable motivation behind any of their actions! Rather than a story, this film just provides several scenes of disconnected plot points, mildly connected by the same actors appearing on screen and saying things no human being ever reasonably would. In conclusion, don't watch this, the writer should be ashamed, anything else is better.

Well this is of course not the first movie to have males offering themselves to be dated. But this takes it to the teen genre and it does quite a fine job with it. I mean it is predictable to a "t", but it is also lovely. We know who is meant for each the moment we see them. But it is refreshing to see that the "others" are not too much of a caricature of a human being.
There is a lesson to be learned or a moral compass or whatever you want to call it. Some things are not what they seem. And while some may say this advocates settling for less than you set your sights on, you could make a completely different argument altogether about what one really needs pitted against being delusional. So don't nitpick and you might be entertained

This movie is a 90 minute span of nothingness where the ending felt like the sweet release of death. The plot is basically non-existent and has no clear direction and feels more like random scenes glued together badly by a toddler. The trailer gives away the whole movie while simultaneously being WAY better than the movie. If you wanted a movie about the app he made and the dates he goes on as the trailer selled it as, well too bad because you only get a 2 minute montage of that! Instead, watch two actors with absolutely no chemistry "fall in Love" as Laura insults Noah and they learn nothing about each other. This movie is soo boring and the trailer is so misleading but the worst thing about it is that lack of chemistry between the two leads. I would never watch this again.

I was bored so I decided to watch this movie, and as per usual it was quite late and I was already beginning to fall asleep, but after only 25 minutes of this movie I fell asleep! The characters are very monotone and I feel like scenes drag on forever. The plot was very typical, but with most romcoms this is a usual plot, but other movies that use the romcom formula still turn out pretty good, but this movie didn't do much for me personally. While I do like Noah Centineo's other movies (To All the Boys I've Loved Before) and Laura Morano's as well (Austin and Ally; Bad Hair Day), I just feel like their voices were a bit monotone in this movie. The plot itself also seemed to be a bit rushed, but then again this could just be me. Overall, it was an ok movie to watch if you're bored and have absolutely nothing better to do.
Aside from its obvious predictability i found this film to be cute and heartwarming.The actor who plays the protagonist often plays these kinds of roles but does so quite well. The awkward quirky eventual love interest is adorable at best. Gay black friend is a nice change from the usual token black guy however i found his acting somewhat weak and his part was rather small. Perhaps if he were given a back story and some more depth to his character the movie could have shown a little more meaning. Don't get me wrong the message was a nice one but maybe a little too basic and let's face it he still has some growing up to do. He mentioned he was 18 but learning 1 lesson does not maketh man.

The idea behind this is very nice. At times it become really cringy and the characters action actually make no sense at all other than serve the plot later on. Watched it with my gf, cant complain it was enough entertainment to not be bored, i have seen far worse. I'll give it a very casual 7.

Modernized version of the classic 1989 movie "Loverboy" with Patrick Dempsey. It even has him and his best friend working at a fast food place.

It start really good in the first 30 minutes, we like all the characters. But after that, it just become too predictable, all drama seems so forced. I still like it because they are cute & everything but the ending was meh....
