First Date Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
A barrage of gunfire and wah-wah guitars, plus a surprising amount of novelty and heart for a film that can feel as if it's a road trip through the directors' inspirations.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
A loose, episodic story held together by our hopes for Mike and Kelsey. It works better in the first half than the second, as the adventures get wilder and more lethal.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
A true comedy of errors, it's both extremely fun and painfully cringeworthy. And I thought I had it bad as a teen...
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
There's sweetness ... but it gets lost in a sea of dead bodies and spent shell casings with a bloody climax that takes up too many of its already overlong 103 minutes.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Brown and Duclos provide an offbeat charm along with some much-needed emotional grounding, although they're too often relegated to the background amid the forced mayhem.
Screen Rant
Ferdosa
First Date is a hodgepodge of familiar tropes and homages to teen romcoms and, while there is a sliver of promise, the film is lacking in charm.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
First Date feels like a throwback caper to something you'd find on cable, funny yet full of action with a generous helping of a timeless romance for good measure. It's the kind of movie you come across and have to see how it ends.
Paste Magazine
Natalia Keogan
Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp's film is inundated with tributes to irreverent indie crime film staples without bothering to carve out a unique voice of its own.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The excesses of First Date ... are simply too much.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
A great showcase for talent both in front of and behind the camera, a terrific DIY indie action-comedy.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
The whole ill-fated affair spins like a choppy rollercoaster ride, with not much substance to offer beyond a few cheap thrills.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
"First Date" is a very ambitious independent film with a charming, casual attitude.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
First Date has the pieces of a zany adolescent action comedy, but never puts the puzzle together in an interesting way. Amateurish direction and a lack of chemistry from the leads doom the film.
Slant Magazine
Mark Hanson
The shadow of Risky Business looms large, and distractingly, over Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp's film.
Jaredmobarak.com
Jared Mobarak
Know that you'll need to embrace [its nightmarish] descent to enjoy it because things can begin to feel laborious if you aren't in the right headspace.
The Grio
Candice Frederick
Silly, empty, and entirely perplexing, First Date never really hits it off with its audience.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
First-time feature filmmakers Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp take us on a hilarious joy ride with a jaunty comedy/thriller that is fondly inspired by the likes of Robert Rodriguez, John Hughes and Quentin Tarantino.
The Playlist
Robert Daniels
Crosby and Knapp's First Date, an at-times hilarious California pleasure trip, dissolves under the weight of its self-evident ambition.
RogerEbert.com
Kristy Puchko
This wild-ass comedy is a jolting thrill ride, packed with barbed jokes, hilarious characters, and threaded with a sweet and simple romance that pulls us through the wonkier bits.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
While the two young thesps acquit themselves nicely, much around them conspires to prevent their debut from being a memorable one.
