Teenage Tom McHugh (Ethan Hawke) is madly in love with his ravishing next-door neighbor, Geena Matthews (Teri Polo), but becomes hopelessly tongue-tied whenever she's around. When his parents go away on an impromptu road trip, his suave law student brother shows up and begins coaching Tom on how to pick up women. Things are going great until Tom discovers a body in the trunk of his brother's car, and his perfect date with Geena takes multiple turns for the worse.

It's one of those movies where the setup is unbelievably complicated, and involves a chain of mistaken identities, and we sit patiently in the audience and wait while the writers get all of their ducks in a row.

The screenplay is immature at best, although with some cutting and embellishing, it might have been a far better entry into the genre.

The movie is highly immature and goes everywhere yet no where. It took me two days to watch because I couldn't handle the ridiculous script and story line. The only thing I liked is that Ethan hawke did a pretty good job in the film, and I did enjoy the whole older brother turn bad but I just truly didn't understand what the people were after in the end. Honestly watch but don't.

Mystery Date démarre comme du John Hughes, avec des personnages à la John Hughes et on pourrait presque s'en contenter pendant la première demi-heure. Et puis d'un coup, le film de Jonathan Wacks dérape totalement et le rendez-vous du titre se transforme en une plongée aux enfers pour Ethan Hawke (excellent, tout comme sa partenaire Teri Polo), qui se veut drôle et noire, mais qui n'est que fatigante et hystérique. C'est dommage, car il y a pléthore de bonnes idées, mais elles sont mal amenées ou mal mises en scène. Il n'empêche que B.D. Wong en bad guy est une sacrée bonne idée et que cela sauve presque le film qui, malgré son chaotique développement, parvient à finir de manière satisfaisante. Mystery Date est un film étrange, pas dénué d'intérêt mais vraiment trop décousu pour être réellement convainquant.
