Dating & New York

It kind of drifts away.

Despite a number of self-conscious touches that suggest an innovative approach to familiar material, winds up playing a rote lovey-dovey game.

Dating & New York has the 'comedy' part of the equation but not the 'romantic.'

The gap between Gen Y-ers weaned on text messaging and Instagram posts and everyone else ("OK, boomer") may delineate which trespasses you're willing to forgive here, depending on your birth year.

A winning cast helps sell [its] familiar premise...

Feingold never strings together a cohesive criticism or narrative, leaving the film to feel more like a brainstorming session or a work in progress or even a snarky Twitter thread.

What makes the film enjoyable is how it is set up as some kind of escape fantasy but dips into the reality of dating and relationships.

Dating & New York is proof that the only thing worse than a dull and unoriginal romantic comedy is a dull and unoriginal romantic comedy that thinks it's exciting and creative. This annoying movie reeks of smugness.

... a central couple so charming they're endlessly watchable make the film something quite modern, enjoyable and sweet, if not always profound or terribly deep.

A bright and cheerful romantic comedy about millennials, this film provides loose-limbed appeal in its lively, witty characters.
