See Jane Date

This was an adorable chick flick that is definitely worth seeing but not necessary by any means. Charisma Carpenter is precisely that: totally charismatic and lovable. She plays an shy, under-confident young woman who has trouble with men and is in search for a date to take to her snotty cousin's wedding. Her two, overly pushy but well-meaning best friends don't help matters and the fact that she is suddenly thrust into working with beautiful, Natasha Nutley (Holly Marie Combs) from highschool makes her predicament even worse. Overall, it's a light comedy that is enjoyable and amusing. Charisma totally sells her character and the audience definitely identifies with her. Holly Marie Combs is hilarious in her portrayal of B-list actress Natasha. Together, Combs and Carpenter make a wonderful duo and light up the screen with their talent, chemistry and well, their Charimsa.

Another thing. It's interesting to note that the movie was filmed only two months after Carpenter gave birth to her son.

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.

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.

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 manages a solid showing in a slightly above average relationship/female empowerment film. (As a guy) I would have to characterize this as a "Chick Flick" and actually found myself fast forwarding through a number of parts. Fans of Charisma's from "Buffy" and "Angel" should feel vindicated by her appearance in another genre, and hope for more to follow. For those who are not big fans of Carpenter or Combs the movie is probably not worth the time, as it drags on for two hours what could have been accomplished in only one.
