Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Before I dive into this movies sublimity I have one name to say: Andrew Keegan. This guy stole the show in this movie. I was not expecting much out of the veteran actor after his show stopping performance in the highly acclaimed "10 Things I Hate About You", but once again he proved me wrong. Casted alongside an overweight Devon Sawa, Keegan delivers line after line of pure comedic genius.The story revolves around two young men in search of love--with different problems. Sawa's character is haunted by his past: he was left at the alter by his long time girlfriend and thereby has lost the ability to hit on girls. In contrast, Keegan's fatal flaw resides in the fact that women are only interested in sleeping with him--to which at one point he solemnly refers to himself as a "man-ho" (oh yeah, HUGE PROBLEM ha ha).Moving on, while on a ski trip Sawa and Keegan witness their stereotype foreign colleague fall passionately in love in the midst of a ski accident. Desperate to find their own girlfriends, they set up a fake kidnapping that goes all wrong when the kidnappers they hire turn out to be EX-CONS!!! Anyway I've said enough about the plot, let me get into some of the characters. Keegan is obviously the star of the show and admirable acting skills are only brought down by Sawa's washed up, wish I could still be the star of the little giants, idle hand sucked-- ass. The chick from Saving Silverman really blows too, shes not funny and plays a tough girl that adds no comedic value to Keegan's omnipresent performance. However, there are actors that help fill this catastrophic void created by Sawa and Saving Silverman girl--and it comes in the form of Meat Loaf and the guy from Gymkata. Meat Loaf and Keegan's complimentary acting abilities are unprecedented. Meat Loaf fires off lines such as "Lindsay? I once knew a man named Lindsay" to keep this movie alive. Although I'm not sure which of the old guys in this movie was in gymkata it still makes the movie awesome. oh yeah and meadow soprano is fat and sucks in this movie--only brings Keegan down once again.
I just saw this film and i must say was quite surprised of all of the actors i knew i was very impressed. Qudos goes to the actor that plays Packer. He was from the UK and i have to say although i haven't seen him in anything before he was the funniest thing in the film. His name is Ian Virgo it says he is American but grew up in wales yet his accent is quite unrecognisable. I hope to see this actor in more films even though he did a film with Jean Claude Van Damme. It also says that Ian was in Black Hawk Down although i have seen that film a hundred times and cannot see him but i suppose they all look the same. EXTREME DATING recommended. Ian Packer Virgo has my thumbs up.
I can understand why Devon Sawa would choose a role like this. Only because he's been out of work for so long, he's probably desperate. Same for Andrew Keegan as well. Both, good looking funny, semi-talented actors, they have chosen this piece, "Extreme Dating", which makes "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle" look like a Shakespearean piece.After four friends go on a skiing trip, and one of them ends up in a dire situation with a strange girl, and falling in love with her afterwards, the rest of the group decides to try 'Extreme dating'. Meaning, they find different scenarios or situations where they can get trapped, kidnapped or isolated with the people they are in love with or have crushes on. The whole movie was pretty lame, and although there were a few funny moments, it's not all that enthralling. I will admit that I watched the movie all the way through, partly because I was bored and the other part was because I like Devon Sawa and wanted to give the film a chance. The girl in the movie, whose name escapes me, has been in a few other films, but she looks like she's gone on Mary-Kate Olsen's diet. She used to be very full-figured, and now she looks almost sick. But, aside from that aspect, she was very good, maybe at times a little over dramatic, but cute.It was worth checking out, but all in all not the best teen - young adult movie you'll see. Stick with better Sawa films like, "Casper" and "Idol Hands".
I just rented this today. it's funny because i was just wondering what happened to Devon Sawa's career. i was a big fan of his back in the day. After watching this i can say that he still has got it. truthfully everyone in the movie did a good job heck even Meat loaf was pretty funny. it had a somewhat original plot. That's unusual in Hollywood these days. i think everyone should check this out.All of the principle actors were excellent. Devon Sawa and Amanda Demter had great chemistry together.some of the extreme dating situations were somewhat creative and pretty funny So in closing this was pretty good movie. i think i'll watch it again before i take it back
