'First Date': Film Review | Sundance 2021
An out-all-night odyssey in which romance is interrupted by a compounding series of mishaps and crimes, Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp's First Date follows in the tradition of similarly named predecessors like Date Night, Blake Edwards' Blind Date, et cetera. In this case, the misadventure is mostly had by the would-be suitor (Tyson Brown), who gets waylaid time and again before he can even meet the longtime crush (Shelby Duclos) he can't believe agreed to go out with him.
