Note: I viewed this film on a DVD set from Echobridge Entertainment on a 4K TV with a PS4. The movie is on a DVD with 3 other films and the image quality suffers.Thankfully the film is enjoyable even with the image limitations. The synopsis gives you an idea about what to expect and the film subverts your expectations. In doing so the film lacks a true antagonist. Several people fill that role on occasion and the film uses it's mild humor to carry the tide between these scenes. Nothing here is laugh out loud funny. The jokes are charming in how cringe-inducing they are. It gets repetitive because after each bad date the heroine goes on, you see another similar joke a few scenes later. What carries the film is the surprising quality of the acting from all the main characters. Charisma Carpenter plays Jane as a confident woman who is forced to deal with societal expectations that put her life out of her control. We as viewers want to see her take control of her life. The film gets kudos for not being anti-male or anti-female. It's a story about finding oneself. The script doesn't indulge in the comedy cliches you would expect even if nothing about the story is in anyway unique. For a movie thrown onto a cheap DVD, See Jane Date is a pleasant surprise. If any of the other 7 films are good, then "Movie Rule #101: Good Guys Get the Girl" by Echobridge is worth buying.

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.

After a pre-Valentine's weekend of watching a number of romance movies, this was the last one I saw. Although I am far from the target demographic for this movie (late 20s single white urban female), surprisingly it was my favorite movie of the bunch. It moved right along, had some wit, and a couple references to more than shopping, hot guys, and weddings. For example, an interesting reference to DeNiro and Taxi Driver, Richard Gere, and Dustin Hoffman.Charisma Carpenter well... had charisma and I enjoyed watching her. She wasn't pencil thin and seemed to be a realistic woman.I enjoyed the dating scenes. There weren't that many and they got the point across succinctly as to why it was a bad date. The guys were insensitive but not as a typically boorish male movie character. And not all guys were bad. For some of the bad dates, I was actually amused. The movie though is more about Jane's growth in herself and in her view of others.I didn't believe Jane's work environment. Other than her boss, was anyone else over 30? Speaking of age, I thought most of the late 20s female characters looked and acted more like they were in their early-to-mid 20s.A nice light movie for now. 10-20 years from now - probably will seem dated.

This was an adorable chick flick that is definitely worth seeing but not necessary by any means. Charisma Carpenter is precisely that: totally charismatic and lovable. She plays an shy, under-confident young woman who has trouble with men and is in search for a date to take to her snotty cousin's wedding. Her two, overly pushy but well-meaning best friends don't help matters and the fact that she is suddenly thrust into working with beautiful, Natasha Nutley (Holly Marie Combs) from highschool makes her predicament even worse. Overall, it's a light comedy that is enjoyable and amusing. Charisma totally sells her character and the audience definitely identifies with her. Holly Marie Combs is hilarious in her portrayal of B-list actress Natasha. Together, Combs and Carpenter make a wonderful duo and light up the screen with their talent, chemistry and well, their Charimsa.Another thing. It's interesting to note that the movie was filmed only two months after Carpenter gave birth to her son.
