Duty Dating (2002) User Reviews

Average romantic comedy

[funkylad · 5/10 · 8 July 2003]

Duty Dating is an average comedy without any real highlights. It's the kind of movie to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon when there is nothing else on the telly.

I have one big problem though with this movie: The leading actress isn't really believable. She looks kinda too old considering the men she dates.

less than average

I also believe that the actress cast to play the character was a poor choice for this film.

But what I find the most troubling is the character herself. She has so many issues and they are never really properly addressed.

To sum it up: Its not her love life stupid -- its her!

This made the movie all the more painful to watch.

Enjoyable movie about dating

I agree with the other reviewers here that there is nothing new here and few surprises but disagree with complaints about the lead actress. I did not think she was either too old or a poor choice. She handles all the scenes well and her character is well written. I won't spoil the story for you as the ending is pretty well telegraphed. This is just an enjoyable movie for anyone that has ever found that the path of truth love never runs smoothly. Clarice, the main character, has trouble dating, coming on too strong and scaring her dates off. Depressed by this fact she takes desperate measure and enlists the help of date Dr. By following her advise it leads to some hilarious moments and helps her to finally see that the man she thought she wants is not the man she needs. It is very low budget and the cast will never win an Oscar but they do their best and the film has the best intentions.

Great movie for its day & subject of dating

I like cheesy but real movies. The acting is actually good if you know what the movie's point is. Based on the work of dr. Pat Allen ( look her up) her book getting to I do & her life's mission to educate women men & even young ones in mating and dating & the differences bet. Masculine feminine energies. This movie seems frivolous but it's actually entertaining and educational. I refer all my friends struggling with putting themselves out there to take a peek into this fun, enjoyable movie.
