      kevin c Martin Short and Annette O'Toole star in this romantic comedy that sees them going on their third date with expectations of sex. Although each of them are keeping a secret from one another that could change their relationship. This is quite well written and funny. Short is funny but restrained and never over the top. O'Toole is believable in her role. Paul Reiser costars. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Armyan Bernstein is usually known as a producer, but he directed and co-wrote this movie with Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman co-creator Gail Parent.  It has similarities to When Harry Met Sally as David Morgan (Martin Short) and Kathy (Annette O'Toole) -- our lead couple -- are continually advised by their respective friends Bruce (Paul Reiser) and  Nancy (Joanna Kerns). Now, they prepare themselves for their third date, the one where they may finally make love, and more importantly the one where they'll reveal themselves for better or worse to one another. It's an interesting film, as I never saw Short as a sexual romantic lead before and there it is. This is a movie where their conversation nearly happens in real time. O'Toole is gorgeous and if you have a strange crush on short, well...allow this to be your film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Good for what it is… but any more than that, not really Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/21/21 Full Review Audience Member Newly dating couple who genuinely like each other both devise their own set of lies so as not to turn off the other and leads them to a disastrous night out. Has its moments and is generally amusing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Story about a couples first date is the subject of this dramedy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review william s Short's comedies are really hit or miss and this starts well but soon flat lines.

      Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Given these rigorous limitations, why does the movie work as well as it does? More precisely, how does it work at all? A significant clue is offered by Kathy when she says to David, “Life begins to look like an audition..." Rated: 3/4 May 10, 2022 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times This material, however promising, would be better suited to an extended skit. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Desson Thomson Washington Post A less-filling helping of Bedroom Farce Lite. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Juan Carlos Coto South Florida Sun-Sentinel The monotony isn't the fault of Short and OToole. The talented actors form a nice comic duo, but it's almost excruciating to watch them try to break out of their cardboard personae.
