Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

luckconquersall My boyfriend and I enjoyed this star-studded films, with strong performances from the actors, even the smaller supporting roles. I love all the comedic moments with the splash of cute romance. I am a little confused why people are complaining about the performances. Rob Estes was hilarious and his freak-out scene in the restaurant made us laugh so hard. As an actress, I know how hard comedy is to block out and nail down the specifics for, and then act as though everything were unplanned and react spontaneously. The cast really succeeded in surprising me (and it looked like themselves too, which is a delight to get to watch).

NathanAviron I just rented How to Go Out on a Date in Queens and was not at all disappointed. If you are looking for a good movie that succeeds in combining humor and drama, this is the perfect film for you. Although the undertones were funny, that did not at all take away from the poignant ending. One aspect of this movie that I enjoyed was how it forced you to really think about the relationships humans have. The message is delivered smoothly and effortlessly by Michelle Danner, who directed in, starred in, and produced How to Go Out on a Date in Queens. Renting this movie is a definite must; everyone who does not is missing out on a satisfying piece of entertainment.

hasanrostanda Okay, I was pretty skeptical going into the situation as I'm one of the few peeps who was not a huge Seinfeld guy (please don't throw stones). But my wife netflixed and talked me into watching it with her. Believe it or not, not a bad movie! I like Alexander doing a different kind of guy this movie as opposed to the high stung guys he usually plays. Also the only other time I saw Estes was in Silk Stockings so it was pretty cool to see the seamy detective as vulnerable. Over all it was a fun ride! Also I got a kick out of the sex crazed character that Danner played, lol. I mean come on, who hasn't been at a table struggling to think of something to say with on a blind-date. There were a few continuity issues (i.e. palms trees in queens) BUT those are forgivable considering the engaging performances of the leads.

aepex **SPOILERS** (not that it really matters) The film starts off with hints that it could be an original, interesting piece with less-than-great acting (except for Mr. Alexander, who made the film, if the film was made at all) alongside a well-thought out plot line. But, after a mere five minutes into this monstrosity, the main character sees a dove, a move the writer/director seems to have thought was inconspicuous yet clever, but is literally the most cliché set-up in film, and maybe even storytelling history. Midway through, the main character literally has a nervous breakdown masked as passion and torment in the middle of the date, the focal point of the film (one date in Queens, New York), and comes off as a whiny, weak, insecure, confused and depressed sociopath. Of course, none of this prevents the same character from falling in love with the waitress of the restaurant where the date occurred, followed by both of their sightings of doves at the end of the movie. Jesus.The character's shadow, a greasy little weasel who is supposed to be some sort of dating expert, comes off as nothing more than a greasy little weasel. Perhaps this was the intention of the writer, since such an obvious move hopes to teach viewers how great the main character is supposed to be (an innocent and simple blue collar worker who yearns for love) by comparison. Unfortunately he is nothing more than a confused moron who can't get over his wife for the life of him (his words, not mine) but somehow manages to fall in love with a random waitress who overhears his whiny rant about loss.I give this movie a 2 point because both Jason Alexander and Ron Perlman were in it (probably as a favor to one of the producers) and raised the bar as far as character development and acting go (even through Ron Perlman did not have a large role). I give it another 1 for effort. See this film for any of the following reasons: boredom, you were paid to, to learn how to make a bad film, or because you think something of what I described truly appeals to you. Cheers!
