A Guide to Second Date Sex

As a fan of cringe comedy I really enjoyed it, some of it you just gotta look away. Acting was well done and length was just about right. Think low score may be due to comedy style not as popular with all.

Watched this not expecting much, but i was really pleasantly surprised.

Laura and Ryan meet at a nightclub, and after an awkward exchange at the bar, we then jump to their second date. They both receive different, but equally terrible advice from their friends about how to seduce each other...

The two main characters, played by Mackay and Roach, are such likeable characters, i found myself willing them on, and cringeing every time there was a false start for them. They both play the awkwardness so well, nd with the fringe characters (especially Tom Bell's Adam, a housemate whom both Ryan and his other housemate Dan have never learned the name of), providing additional laughs, this is a great comedy.

Undoubtedly cringeworth in places, but without malice, i found myself rooting for them, even with everything else that gets thrown their way on this one night, interspersed with flashbacks to their first drunken encounter.

All in all, this is a good comedy with solid performances all round, and a last minute twist that helps add a new element to the already tricky and clumsy night that Ryan and Laura have both experienced

I really wanted to like this film. I did. It had my celebrity crush, George Mackay, in it and I have been trying to watch all of his movies. I was excited to see him in a romantic comedy, but overall it fell flat to me. I actually fast forwarded through most of it because I wanted to know the end, but couldn't bear watching it in real time. I think the main reason why it didn't work was because they were both so awkward. Usually this isn't a problem for me as it makes the characters feel realer and more relatable, but it was just too much here. They were both trying really hard, which I get is the point of the movie, but it was cringy at times. I also think if the format of the narrative involved seeing them meet more in the beginning rather than have flashbacks throughout from their first date, I could have connected with them more.

I really enjoyed this. It's very much a short sketch but I laughed out loud and also found it very comforting in its own way, given so much of it was sadly relatable. Definitely worth about 90-100 mins of your day.

I enjoyed this movie, although it was a bit tedious, especially in the beginning. There were some humorous sections depicting the awkwardness of a beginning relationship. The ending is humorous and shows some of the quirks of interpersonal relationships. The last 15 minutes or so made up for the slow beginning, as the last part was really very good. Not a sexy movie (sex is discussed much, but no bare parts shown), but more of a movie about relationships between single adults. Parts of it were funny, and the movie left me feeling good about the whole thing and I was glad I watched it. RECOMMENDED.
