THE PERFECT DATE Is A Waste Of Time | Cynical Reviews - Summary

Summary

The video is a review of a Netflix teen romantic comedy starring Noah Centineo. The reviewer pokes fun at the movie's cliches and predictability, calling it "bog-standard" and "derivative." The plot follows Noah's character, a poor high school student who creates an app to sell his services as a date for hire in order to raise money for college. He lies and pretends to be different people to impress various women, including a popular girl named Shelby and a quirky girl named Celia. Along the way, he learns to be true to himself and eventually ends up with Celia. The reviewer notes that while the movie is not terrible, it's nothing special and relies on tired tropes. They do praise the film's banter, gay romance subplot, and self-awareness, but overall, it's just a mediocre Netflix rom-com.
