Though it may not be the perfect romcom, The Perfect Date's endearing leads still manage to show viewers a fun -- if overly familiar -- time.

I liked The Perfect Date better when it was called Loverboy. Go to Full Review

3/5
It's a perfectly middle-of-the-road teen flick, and it is notable mostly because it gives [Noah] Centineo plenty of opportunities to do what he does best: gaze longingly at girls. Go to Full Review

The Perfect Date is a perfectly fine romantic comedy, with quite a few fun tropes thrown into a story that centers on the importance of finding yourself... Go to Full Review

This movie is perfect for fans of Noah Centineo who need something to tide them over till the To All the Boys I've Loved Before sequel arrives. Go to Full Review
Alison Foreman Mashable Dec 7, 2019
Brooks isn't the only shallow character in this exhausting story. His dueling love interests Shelby and Celia, played by Riverdale's Camila Mendes and Laura Marano, get written into similar corners. Go to Full Review

Draco L Apr 27, 2019 I laughed so hard while watching this I don't know why.
Hagrid W Apr 26, 2019 I thought it was a cute, sweet story but the two main characters had no chemistry. I love romantic comedies but this is one that I won't go back and watch again. See more
Apr 26, 2019 It doesn't make sense Terrible movie Boring and stupid
Luke M Apr 25, 2019 A bland and typical teen romance movie. We've seen it a million times and we'll see it a million more times. "The Perfect Date" doesn't add anything new the the teen romance genre. See more
Apr 25, 2019 If I was to give this movie a zero, I would. Netflix seems to enjoy all the attention young teenage girls are giving to movies with Noah as a main role with a romantic genre to the movie. None of his films were satisfying to me at all, this was just another one of my addition to "Movies I Hate That Include Noah Centineo." I don't see the relationship between Brooks and Celia, the movie lacks a basic understanding of logic and nothing in this movie stood out to me. See more
Apr 25, 2019 I unfortunately felt entertained during this movie, although I would not recommend it to anyone. I have never seen such a film where the formula of a teenager romcom is followed to the letter: gay best friend, the main character changing his personality and having issues with it, woman who is senseless and eventually finds out she is looking for love, people realizing the right person was in front of them the whole time, the sentimental conversation with a fatherly figure when all goes wrong,... I mean, it is so clichet and fabricated I can not tell you why I enjoyed it. See more
