Une célibataire à New-York

I'm female. 40. And I thought this movie was really formulaic and uninteresting.

Charisma is a fine actress capable of belting out a very good performance: See Buffy, Angel and Veronica Mars for proof of that.

She was vastly dumbed down for this role. Yes, she looks like a cute modern Mary Tyler Moore, but... no....

Impossible to believe "Jane" was second fiddle to anyone. Charisma is gorgeous, and would have stood out if only for that.

Charisma's career may be hitting a dry well, like many Buffy alums, I don't see them doing work worthy of their talent. I hope next time around she picks something worth while.

Not to be a snob, but when I saw that it is a TV movie and a romantic comedy I thought this combination would be a big fail. Surprisingly I enjoyed this movie more than I thought.

While the main idea of the movie is not original: a usual thing, a single woman in her late 20's can't find the date for a wedding and looks for it. But at the same time scenes from the dates with the guys were very well done and had some hilarious humor from the good writing.

I must say the ending was surprising too, really didn't think they would go this way. Actually I liked it.

Holly Marie Combs did some great acting and I liked her character the most. Someone who surprise us and is actually multidimensional.

Single gal Jane Grant (Charisma Carpenter) is a hungry assistant editor assigned to high school nemesis Natasha Nutley (Holly Marie Combs) who is writing a tell-all book. She lies to her about living with a rich doctor boyfriend. Cousin Dana invites the imaginary boyfriend to her wedding. Jane has to find a man to fit the description with the help of her friends Eloise (Rachelle Lefevre) and Amanda (Sadie LeBlanc). She also has to get Natasha to actually write and fast.

Charisma Carpenter is a charming lovely actress. It's an easy moving movie. It's also so easy that there aren't big laughs. It's a series of bad dates which has a problem of mostly being annoying unfunny. Of the other parts, the most compelling relationship is Jane and Natasha. The movie should really be about that duo.

Charisma Carpenter is the lead actress here. She is the most wonderful natural fleshed-out TV actress since the great Adrienne Barbeau. The supporting actresses are all fine too. Very rarely in the women's movies of today are there ever any characters with attractive personalities. Let's hope that SEE JANE DATE begins a new trend!

SEE JANE DATE offers a world of mostly nice, sweet, cheerful, very beautiful 20-something ladies at work and play. It is all good-natured fluff. Safe Made-For-TV -- no heavy lifting required. If you are in the mood to watch a very light romance, give at least the first half of SEE JANE DATE a chance.

Charisma Carpenter manages a solid showing in a slightly above average relationship/female empowerment film. (As a guy) I would have to characterize this as a "Chick Flick" and actually found myself fast forwarding through a number of parts. Fans of Charisma's from "Buffy" and "Angel" should feel vindicated by her appearance in another genre, and hope for more to follow. For those who are not big fans of Carpenter or Combs the movie is probably not worth the time, as it drags on for two hours what could have been accomplished in only one.
