Three Dates to Forever

Another day and another barely passable Reel One Entertainment TV movie. I don't know why, but for 2023 season, Reel One and their co-producing partners just hyper produce TV movies. That means they hire for lead roles basically anybody, and obviously writing and directing have to suffer, too. The good news, this movie doesn't suffer from obvious technical issues - only few minor lightning issues, but other than that... I'm honestly positively shocked as this is The Asylum co-produced movie.

This movie doesn't have anything badly done which would drag it to the unwatchable / skip category. For example I never watched Chelsea Gilson and Adam Huss, and I would say they were all right.

Unfortunately, on the flip side, the writing is weak - it's predictable, too safe (how many times we have to watch about revolutionary relationship app?), obligatory food tropes, and above all, I simply didn't buy romance between Maddie and John (opposites attract trope).

In the end of day, it's not a bad movie, but Reel One has (much) better TV movies in their catalog - watch if you have nothing else, and to kill some free time.

And don't watch trailer if you plan to watch movie as this is ROE's one and it shows everything.

Three Dates to Forever is a fun movie with a little twist on the "boy meets girl" movie.

The story line moves along at a good pace, keeping the viewer interested throughout.

It's impossible not to like the lead actress, Chelsea Gilson. She has a warm spirit and a smile that draws you to her. She played her role as the radio host well. Totally believable.

The main actor, Adam Huss, is a good choice for the genius tech geek that hasn't been able to find the right girl. But it's his sincere desire to help others find happiness that makes us like him so much.

Jack Pearson, plays Kevin, the incredibly loveable love interest. We were rooting for him the whole time. He came across as such a sweet guy.

Jessica Gillespie was also very likeable in her role and cute as can be in those red glasses! She and Chelsea made a cute team.

This is a cute film that pulls you in right at the start. We love family friendly movies and have recommended this one to several friends.

Typical romance, but it makes sense how they meet and the title goes with the main plot. The movie was free on tv, also when they begin enjoying eachother why they have to start loving someone else and these people were clearly bad and annoying. Like one already knew the other person was terrible. Also of course they started including ai in the dating app every app has ai and algorithms this app was any other and people would be just like kevin or the terrible guy the girl goes on a date with the type of people who just skip all the questions and select randomly. The way these two met was in person which is how every real relationship would work.

Silly yes but also fun and surprising. Chelsea Gilson and Adam Huss make two great and very watchable leads. Adam Huss in particular is incredibly charming and likeable. I could watch him in everything. A fun script and nice locations in Los Angeles give it a really enjoyable feel. Is it the greatest film ever made? No, but as a light romcom you can't get much better. Good supporting cast too who bring loads of energy. There's some pretty bad CGI of a helicopter at one point which made me laugh for all the wrong reasons but then these are obviously made on a tight budget. Other than that I'd recommend this one highly.

What a fun romp. By the poster, you know what to expect! It's a fun, silly ride. The two leads knock it out of the ballpark and pull believability out of a mediocre script. Adam Huss is emotionally available actor. I've seen him in a few other things. And he's easy on the eyes. And the lead female: I'd challenge Margo Robbie to say some of the lines Chelsea Gilson had to say and pull it off any better! She did a fine job. I particularly loved the mother played by Maureen Kedes...she wasn't that typical sickly sweet mom you tend to see. She gave a little edge to an otherwise very Disney-type script. She had something going on in her eyes, like some sad backstory, and her acting was very convincing. I also thought the daughter and some of the other dates were really cute. I know the budget is small, but the director Louise Alston pulled a lot out of it. Worth watching!
