The storyline is about the instant chemistry between a food delivery driver and a customer which leaves them both regretful that they missed an opportunity to connect. Their friends give them poor advice on how to find each other. Can they discover the recipe to unite?
Love at first sight! Or at first food delivery. The plot is very relatable to anyone living in modern times. The plot develops in an easy to understand and natural way. Levi Hofman (Austin) plays the quirky part of his lovelorn character well. He is unbelievably quick to fall in love. He is advised that the best way to reconnect with the driver he fell for is to order from the company again, in hopes that she will return - bad advice. After a series of "the wrong person" I laughed as he gets ready for each prospective delivery. Charlotte Abney (Kiera) portrays her dash delivery character well and her level of frustration as she tries to find Austin again is equally humorous. For a 72 hour production, it stands up pretty well. The camera work, audio recording and editing all work well, without any glaring errors. The costumes and makeup work and are typical of what young people wear today. The sets and locations are typical homes and businesses you might find in any US city. The music feels modern and contemporary and works well as it's played in scene transitions. I particularly enjoyed the music playing under the credits. I love all the weird drivers that show up when Austin is ordering delivery constantly in order to find the girl. I enjoyed the costume changes Kiera wears in her various Austin encounter attempts. My favorite part is the ending when, against all odds, serendipity strikes.
The film's message is to not let chances slip away. Seize the moment and exert yourself or you will spend more time and energy later correcting your mistake.
I give Dashing 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Selene W., KIDS FIRST!
