Internet Dating

A 20 second review for a movie that doesn't deserve 20 seconds of anyone's time.

I watched Internet Dating for one reason, Katt Williams, I found his stand up DVDs great and IMDb'd him to see what he was up to and found this. When I couldn't find anything about it I tracked it down and now very much regret doing so.

It is about a lonely guy who works at a Subway style sandwich shop that never seems to have any customers despite a 5 strong staff, he goes on the net to find "love", and as the guy who runs the website is his cousin he spends the remainder of the film trying to hook up with... something.

It is a horribly bland premise made worse when I realised that the website running cousin was Master P, he made this dross and it is obviously a hopelessly inept vanity project.

The acting is horrible, I didn't laugh once, Master P makes all the women in the film fawn over him and pretend they are hot for him, despite him being a slow witted, slurring, ugly gimp.

Terrible camera-work, an absence of script, lousy "jokes", a $7 production budget and even "BOING" sound effects when a guy sees a hot girl! In one scene an actor turned to camera and there were boom mikes in shot and cast shadows in a few scenes too.

This movie sucks, this is a public service announcement. No matter how much you like Katt Williams AVOID INTERNET DATING AT ALL COSTS.

Final Rating – 2 / 10. This is only 2 so I have somewhere lower to go in the unlikely event that I see something worse. 90 minutes of chat between 2 boring accountants would bring more laughs than this.

Here goes the story MASTER-P went into the club hit on some waitresses/slash models and told them he could make them stars he's got a movie for them right now. So he threw some money at a bunch of comedians and told them to do their thang act your color in front of the camera. And thats all the movie is, comedians show-up at a sandwich shop, have some unscripted dialog with the employees featuring KAT WILLIAMS. Then the comedians act a fool. Then they leave and are seen later acting a fool. Its funny in the beginning but after-awhile gets boring. Know-one gets kicked in the nuts, or slips on a banana peel. No vicious pigs, midgets, Squirrels or Chihauhas! nothing but KAT WILLIAMS, being KAT, and Master-P playing the straight man.

OK, OK I know the movie was as low budget as they come, but I am sure they were not trying to win an Oscar. I believe the goal was to entertain and anyone with a decent sense of humor would have been laughing all the way back to the video store. I had to see it for the second time to really laugh hard but seriously I am a volunteer movie critic and I love this movie!! I think that Katt Williams plays "Mickie" beautifully....now of course there are some other actors that will remain unmentioned that really weren't good at all, but hey that's why the name of the movie was Katt Williams....! I truly hope that the cast and writers of the movie feel the love...cause I've seen this movie almost 20 times and I laugh every time!!!

I just rented this tonight. Seeing Katt Williams on the cover made me want to see it since he's the hot commodity in comedy these days. But I kind of blanched after seeing Master P's name as director. After seeing it all I can say is directing is one more thing Master P should avoid next to acting and dancing. Here he has Katt as a sandwich boy who wants to find his soul mate and looks to online dating to find the woman of his dreams. Instead of setting up different scenarios or vignettes for Katt's potential dates, the movie mostly has girls coming by the sandwich shop looking for Katt. The few scenes where he actually goes on dates are boorish and nonsensical. A whole lot of comics appear in parts that could have greatly benefited from the participation of real actors. It's kind of a shame because this should be something that Williams should be proud to put on his resume as a star comic but it looks like something he did while he was in high school. Not even funnier than some of those really bad SNL sketches that don't seem to go anywhere.

Master P's whole directorial career has involved trying to make comedies starring stand up comedians. Most of the cast are comics. Williams, Leslie Jones, Renaldo Rey, Michael Blackson among others. The problem is most stand up comedians make bad actors, especially with an inexperienced director. They don't have the instinct to work as an ensemble the way comic actors do. As a result a movie about a hot topic that had a lot of potential and well-known urban comics was very unfunny.

The one silver lining in the movie are the girls. Especially Sammy B. Willis, Liana Mendoza, and Sula Symonds, as well as Jessica Meza. All are incredibly hot and a goofy and geeky performance by Angela Maria. Though their acting was whack too at least they helped ease the pain of watching this steaming pile. If not for them, I would have given the movie a 1/10 instead of a 2.
