PERFECT DATE, THE

The romantic teen comedy, The Perfect Date, takes a humorous look at a dad's intervention in pre-screening a young man who wants to take his daughter on a date.

The story follows Caleb (Hank Conrad) wanting to take Brooklyn (Quinn Reynolds) on a date and going to her house to ask her dad (David Schunk) for permission. The Dad decides that he needs to pre-screen Caleb by having Caleb take him on a date first.

This is a cute storyline and uses flashbacks to Brook's parents' first date as background to support his argument. The camera work is pretty good, although the interior lighting is not so good. The audio works most of the time, although the levels jump around a bit. The setting is pretty typical middle America, as are the costumes and they all work for the storyline. I really like how they used the flashbacks to the parent's first date and when those shots appear, they are a bit faded, as if they are archival footage - very cleverly done. The acting is spot on and believable. There isn't any background music or sound effects, at least none that stick out. What does stick out are the titles which are perfect for the film. My favorite part are the outtakes that play after the credits. It's always fun to see bloopers and these definitely made me giggle.

The message is that sometimes you're overprotectiveness is a reflection of what you did in the past. But, we love dads who want to protect their teen daughters.

I give The Perfect Date 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. Reviewed by Makena P. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
