A producer finances a single filmmaker's (Myles Berkowitz) documentary about his odyssey to find a girlfriend.

Critics Consensus

20 Dates explores relatable romantic and career frustrations -- unfortunately, it does so through the exploits of someone who's hard to watch and harder to root for.

Bill Stamets

Chicago Reader

20 Dates may be unpleasant to watch, but despite Berkowitz’s icky manners and unwinning calculations, he does find true love...

Rated: 2/4

Observer

This sort of social Grand Guignol has been done to death in movies, sitcoms and stand-up routines.

The movie has its funny moments, altough the director departs from the initial idea, leaving the improvisation, and therefore, the film loses its originality.
