Twenty Dates

DIRECTED BY: Myles Berkowitz

REVIEWED: 03-29-99

This film, a fake documentary about a man going on 20 dates, reminded me of my single days. I brought my wife, Connie, with me, and as we left the theater I told her that I had experienced many of the same heady conundrums as Myles, the main character, who's search for love is interrupted by the financial realities of finishing his film with the backing of Russian gangsters. Connie looked at me funny. "You related to Myles? He was such an asshole! How could anyone stand him? He's one of those guys whose nasty humor seems funny at first, then as you get used to it, it just becomes trying! The last hour of that film was excruciating!"
"Yeah," I said, "but the first half-hour was funny...."
"You know," she said, "that is like being with you." Then she left me. So I guess this is one of those films that can really open your eyes to what's important in life. Oh, Connie!
