Amanda Peet in short showcase

[bladerunner9x · 6/10 · 26 August 2002]

I caught this short film on Showtime and was very surprised to see Peet in it. Basically an excuse for Peet to act goofy and have fun apparently; she is very funny in the short amount of time (10 min.) she's on screen. There is nothing really original here but it is well-done and a good way to spend 10 minutes. 6/10

Only reason to see this is for Amanda Peet

Immature and attempts to look cool but just comes up short (practically in the ground)... as i stated in my topic... i gave this short a score of 3 simply for the beautiful amanda peet... otherwise this was just a mistake on the creator's part... though the ending was clever... anyone else notice that the two daters are the lovers in High Crimes... interesting...

SO much better than most shorts.

This is 10 wisely spent minutes. It's a cute idea, and Amanda Peet is hilarious! She's really good at slapstick, and takes a fall better than most people. She's also the prettiest pratfaller I've ever seen.

Not funny!

I can't believe things like this pass for comedy. This reminds me of videos unfunny people made in college. I guess those people are now allowed to make films and have them aired publicly. This is not good for America.

Spoiler Alert - In the end you'll realize this short sucks and isn't funny and you'll wish they hired someone who was funny to help make this funnier.

Shorts like this should be left to wallow in the mire of the world wide web, right next to the Star Wars Kid.

Cute

I was channel surfing and I found this short film from Warner Bros. on one of my cable channels. I watched it because I recalled Sandra Oh was in it from her credit list here on the IMDB. It is basically a comedy about a group of agents known as a "date squad" that help people through an awkward first date. Amanda Peet was very funny in the lead and Oh is also quite funny as a member of the squad. Imagine a makeover reality series combined with a "Charlie's Angels" movie and you get the idea here. Although the ending was funny, I have to admit I saw it coming. Check the film out if you get a chance, you'll have a laugh or two.
