There was a clever conceit to "The Perfect Date" as Brooks Rattigan has devised an app that attracts women who want a date with a specialized purpose. Brooks is all to happy to serve as the gigolo. It turns out that he hits the jackpot on his first date with the feisty Celia Lieberman.
The dialogue was snappy, and the various impersonations by Brooks were spot on. One of the best scenes was Brooks' interview with a dean at Yale. He focused on the Dean's love of bees to find a common ground. Ultimately, the savvy Brooks makes a wise decision in not attending Yale.
The most intriguing character development was that of Celia, who was transformed from a snooty snob into a lively, independent young woman. There was great chemistry between Brooks and Celia, as well as a strong supporting cast.
There were also good, wholesome family values expressed in this film. The Lieberman family has a nice tradition of the "three-way hug" in moments of despair. And the scenes with Brooks and his dad were heartfelt and provided a good counterpoint to the romcom elements in this well-scripted and well-performed film.
