The Dating Game Killer (2017 TV Movie)
1/10
Embarrassingly Bad, Simply Terrible
8 December 2017
If you have a medical something license and some time to kill - you might find this one of the funniest things you've ever seen. I wish I had the former but I don't, nevertheless this "movie" made me laugh out loud involuntarily several times. I do not enjoy saying negative things, and I genuinely feel sorry for all those who were involved in this bungled attempt. It's a wonderfully rare - so bad it's hilarious one. Every cliché, from writing to acting is thrown in here for good measure, but to such an extent that you won't be able to help alternating between groaning, putting your head in you hands in despair, rolling your eyes, and finally just giving in and giggling all the way to the most absurdly written and poorly acted courtroom finale you will have ever seen. If you remember the scene in 'Bananas' when Woody Allen acts as his own lawyer and switches between his lawyer persona and his witness persona whilst jumping in and out of the witness box for comic effect, well the same happens in this film but comedy, whilst not the intention, is definitely the result. The lead actor is so awful it's practically unbelievable. And he's not alone, oh no, he is matched by everyone else in the cast. So, either miss this completely, which would prob be a very sensible move, or, I refer you back to the first sentence in this review. Get some friends round, and work out a shot game for every time you see one of the absurdly portrayed detectives says, "Damn it! He got away again!" You will be completely wasted.
