2nd Date Sex (2019) User Reviews

Great british comedy

[lancechoproberts · 7/10 · 4 November 2019]

Great acting and very funny for a film mostly set in one house, well worth a watch

Not the best

[Tales-ofa-Fangirl-witha-DVR · 5/10 · 8 March 2021]

I really wanted to like this film. I did. It had my celebrity crush, George Mackay, in it and I have been trying to watch all of his movies. I was excited to see him in a romantic comedy, but overall it fell flat to me. I actually fast forwarded through most of it because I wanted to know the end, but couldn't bear watching it in real time. I think the main reason why it didn't work was because they were both so awkward. Usually this isn't a problem for me as it makes the characters feel realer and more relatable, but it was just too much here. They were both trying really hard, which I get is the point of the movie, but it was cringy at times. I also think if the format of the narrative involved seeing them meet more in the beginning rather than have flashbacks throughout from their first date, I could have connected with them more.

it's okay

If you're expecting something grand, or major comedy film it's probably not for you. It's pretty much a nice simple, tight-budgeted romcom that spent most of it screen time in one location. The premise is a bit generic but i like that they keep the plot very simple, which only tells the story over that one night. The humor aren't bad, some are even 'unexpectedly' hilarious. The acting is kinda over-the-top and a bit cringe.

A fun, awkward, likeable comedy

[darylgould · 7/10 · 17 August 2020]

Watched this not expecting much, but i was really pleasantly surprised.

Laura and Ryan meet at a nightclub, and after an awkward exchange at the bar, we then jump to their second date. They both receive different, but equally terrible advice from their friends about how to seduce each other...

The two main characters, played by Mackay and Roach, are such likeable characters, i found myself willing them on, and cringeing every time there was a false start for them. They both play the awkwardness so well, nd with the fringe characters (especially Tom Bell's Adam, a housemate whom both Ryan and his other housemate Dan have never learned the name of), providing additional laughs, this is a great comedy.

Undoubtedly cringeworth in places, but without malice, i found myself rooting for them, even with everything else that gets thrown their way on this one night, interspersed with flashbacks to their first drunken encounter.

All in all, this is a good comedy with solid performances all round, and a last minute twist that helps add a new element to the already tricky and clumsy night that Ryan and Laura have both experienced

Simple & hilarious

[cbrleah · 7/10 · 1 February 2022]

I really enjoyed this. It's very much a short sketch but I laughed out loud and also found it very comforting in its own way, given so much of it was sadly relatable. Definitely worth about 90-100 mins of your day.

Very Low budget comedy to cheer you up

[ylajaliylajali · 2/10 · 10 April 2020]

Very very low budget movie to cheer you up a little , if you are really bad mood don't know what to do give a chance for this film ;but first make the speed 1×60 You 'l be better in the end .

Nice movie

[yahya-03087 · 7/10 · 6 November 2019]

Nice,lovely and funny British movie, comedy actors too

don't give up before the end

[jjwolverine · 7/10 · 19 December 2022]

I enjoyed this movie, although it was a bit tedious, especially in the beginning. There were some humorous sections depicting the awkwardness of a beginning relationship. The ending is humorous and shows some of the quirks of interpersonal relationships. The last 15 minutes or so made up for the slow beginning, as the last part was really very good. Not a sexy movie (sex is discussed much, but no bare parts shown), but more of a movie about relationships between single adults. Parts of it were funny, and the movie left me feeling good about the whole thing and I was glad I watched it. RECOMMENDED.

If you like British humor and have a sweet spot for everyday romance - you'll enjoy this

[mainnaho · 10/10 · 25 January 2020]

This is a personal favorite so I'll give it a 10 - since I'd love to watch it again! It's a spot on 2nd (or 1st...) date experience for us awkward but funny people. The acting is phenomenal and it has scenes that are so cringe but lovable at the same time! I go "oh no you didn't!" from one second to looking starry eyed and giggling like a school girl the next. And I love George MacKay and Alexandra Roach, they are such an attractive couple in this movie. The chemistry is definitely there! Greatly underrated at the moment. If you like British humor and have a sweet spot for everyday romance - you'll enjoy this.

British hidden indie comedy gem.

[shide_85 · 7/10 · 23 November 2020]

Best sex/dating movie since The Little Death (2014), yes it is based on akward situations and yes a few feel a little off, but it pull soff most of them and that is way better than most comedies manage. It also has a few real laugh out loud moments in it. The acting is well above anticipated, the cinematography is coupling meets club & indie/real life. Perfect movie to watch with your worse or better half for a laugh or some mates.

Pro's Writing Weaving in unoriginal situations seamlessly making them feel original Acting

Con's With a few tweaks the second half could have been made funnier (ex gf with daddy issues? - open goal). The feelgood notion overtook the comedy towards the end, both good and bad The well written 2nd roommate could have been used to effect better, as with the sensor light.

Great British Humour

[mackaymaryanne · 10/10 · 19 January 2020]

Perfectly awkward British humour with great acting.

Enjoyable

[MalachyScanlan · 8/10 · 3 August 2020]

As a fan of cringe comedy I really enjoyed it, some of it you just gotta look away. Acting was well done and length was just about right. Think low score may be due to comedy style not as popular with all.

10/10 to support indie film

[Dora_ · 10/10 · 15 May 2020]

Just saw it on TV and was surprised to see 5 rating over 400 voters. The movie may be low budget in one apartment but for God's sake it is hilarious and entertaining

This was fun and hilariously awkward!

[maccas-56367 · 8/10 · 26 September 2020]

Hilariously awkward, with excellent chemistry from leads George McKay and Alexandra Roach. Was great seeing both these excellent actors in a flat out comedy.

You could tell everyone involved was having a lot of fun. I was laughing out loud through majority of the film. Many people should be able to find something to relate to - if you can't, then it's a sign you probably haven't been living enough.

The random housemate guy kind of stole the show for me - I laughed for 100% of his screen time (thanks Tom Bell!). A Guide to Second Date Sex felt incredibly "real". Not just with the awkward 'warts n' all' bedroom antics, but with the lack of soundtrack and real-time unfolding of events.

Despite its short duration, there was also room for McKay and Roach to briefly showcase their considerable dramatic acting chops. All in all, this was fun for what it was and more people should give it a go!

Great film

[yfxhydqc · 9/10 · 21 May 2022]

Not a rom-com fan but you know what I really enjoyed this film. Resonates with the awkward dates and moments everyone has had in their life's.good acting especially from the gorgeous Alexandra roach. She needs to be in more things Watchable enjoyable fun film.

Hilarious

[leoalexanderscott · 10/10 · 23 January 2021]

A really fun great movie. Old story plot but updated. There are plenty of hilarious moments. Simple but fanastic comedy.

The best movie I've watched for ages

[gladys64 · 10/10 · 12 December 2020]

Both my husband and I loved this movie. Acting was top class by all the cast. Out right belly laughs in places. So cringeworthy you have to look away but just can't stop watching. Loved it and just the right length too.
