Honestly, this awful little movie should have stayed in the closet.

Coffee Date is a film of small objectives, yet still achieves a fully-realized emotional state that's genuine, even in the midst of broad comedy.

Top Critic This bittersweet indie's greatest asset is that stars [Jonathan] Bray and [Wilson] Cruz have both real chemistry and a real problem -- as opposed to a series of trumped-up plot machinations -- standing in the way of romance.

Leaving no cliché unturned, Coffee Date provides cheesy music, chats about gaydar and the obligatory are-you-looking-at-mine? urinal scene.

Top Critic A warmhearted tale carried by genuine affection and a charming cast rather than cutting one-liners and turbo-charged plotting.

Top Critic Queer cinema in this country is suffering and Coffee Date is further confirmation that gay men in Los Angeles have way too much money to throw around.

It's so full of bland good will, the story goes nowhere in romantic-comedy terms.

Top Critic While the acting occasionally stoops to horrid, even worse is that the characters themselves can be aggravatingly insipid, strutting the most tired of gay-phobic jokes.

Coffee Date has lots going on, and its message -- there are all kinds of love — is an earnest one. But the script relies too heavily on stock characters and overused plot devices to make any real impact.

Top Critic COFFEE DATE is an amusing twist on the somewhat tired genre of romantic comedy, although it really is more of a buddy movie.
11/12/06
Amid a recent flurry of low-budget independent productions, Coffee Date is a standout with its strongly developed central characters, complex themes and polished look.
11/09/06
Top Critic How disappointing that a film that hints at the fluid, nonbinary natures of love and attraction should labor so hard to knot its own loose ends.
11/09/06
Story would be easy to take more seriously if the technique weren't so unpolished.
