Date Night

When three fidelity phobic misfits find themselves in the same cafe, their love and hate for all things romance related make them far more similar than they think.

I sometimes wonder if the person who writes the little blurb in the description box even saw the film or video.  These three characters seem like misfits, to be sure: The woman is drawn more by lust than love, and is easily seduced by hairless, muscular pectorals.  The Black gentleman wants a date who is as simple, conventional as a plate of beans on toast.  The White gentleman makes no bones about who is in charge, and his girth notwithstanding, it is his suit and confidence that win the night, or so he thinks.

Come to think of it, however, they're hardly misfits, I'd say, because they parody what must be pretty common characters in the dating scene.  They're not really fidelity phobics, either.  Indeed, it is the woman herself who may be too drawn in, and overly faithful, to her hunky but cavalier boyfriend.  Finally, they're actually not very similar to one another, as they symbolize rather different personalities: from co-dependent, to obsessive-compulsive, to narcissistic.  But the fact they've converged in this late night diner suggests that their lives and fates are more linked than they know.

A brilliant effort by writer and director Reggie Yates!
