Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Clay Bruce Don't Bother. Billed as a romantic comedy it tells the story of James Van Der Bexton trying to find a girlfriend using speed dating. The man is the type of idiot most women run a mile from. Not only is he annoying, he's dull and lacks any charisma. There is some sort of sub plot involving memory loss and drug importation or something ... I don't know I'd lost interest by then. The obligatory "making of" in the special features section of the DVD was funnier. Everybody is sooo earnest about this piece of crap. Keep an eye out for the guy with the red beanie and shades - hilarious!

paul_murphy99 I went to see this on Saturday night - I would have gladly walked out long before the credits rolled except that I was with a friend.....Most of the rest of the Cinema gathered up their popcorn, chocolate and drinks and left - either to try and sneak into another film, sit in the car park to enjoy the fumes or else to go home and watch Feris Buellers Day Off on VHS.I am absolutely shocked at the high rating being received here - I can only suppose that these people are big Fair City fans [8th rate Irish soap] or else that they were treated to a viewing in aos correctional facility and it made a pleasant change from normal Prison life ???? I want my €9.00 back - the 85 minutes of dreary running time I have already lost, grieved over and accepted as gone forever.

fkbehan Speed dating is an original and quirky film that was made on a tiny budget when compared with other films currently on show in Irish cinemas. However despite this, the film offers great performances from the cast, particularly from Don Wycherley as the over zealous Detective Long and the pot-fueled psychiatrist played by David Hayman but it is O'Conor who steals the show and never fails to win our sympathy. Emma Choy is also great as the nurse with the heart of gold.Speed Dating is a romantic comedy that is very funny and clever throughout and has one of the best soundtracks heard for a long time. Support independent Irish film making and go see it.
