It's clever and sweet and pretty consistently funny.

Top CriticIt's so full of bland good will, the story goes nowhere in romantic-comedy terms.
12/14/06
Top CriticCoffee Date is a film of small objectives, yet still achieves a fully-realized emotional state that's genuine, even in the midst of broad comedy.
08/09/07
Lacking in real wit and radiant human feeling.
02/20/07
Honestly, this awful little movie should have stayed in the closet.
12/06/07
Might usher in a whole new cinema trend: the gay romantic comedy.
11/10/06
Coffee Date has lots going on, and its message -- there are all kinds of love — is an earnest one. But the script relies too heavily on stock characters and overused plot devices to make any real impact.
11/17/06
How disappointing that a film that hints at the fluid, nonbinary natures of love and attraction should labor so hard to knot its own loose ends.
11/09/06
Amid a recent flurry of low-budget independent productions, Coffee Date is a standout with its strongly developed central characters, complex themes and polished look.
11/09/06
Top CriticCOFFEE DATE is an amusing twist on the somewhat tired genre of romantic comedy, although it really is more of a buddy movie.
11/12/06
Leaving no cliché unturned, Coffee Date provides cheesy music, chats about gaydar and the obligatory are-you-looking-at-mine? urinal scene.
02/14/07
Top CriticCoffee Date is a likable, extremely goofy piece of fluff.
12/08/06
Top CriticQueer cinema in this country is suffering and Coffee Date is further confirmation that gay men in Los Angeles have way too much money to throw around.
12/30/06
While the acting occasionally stoops to horrid, even worse is that the characters themselves can be aggravatingly insipid, strutting the most tired of gay-phobic jokes.
12/07/06
This bittersweet indie's greatest asset is that stars [Jonathan] Bray and [Wilson] Cruz have both real chemistry and a real problem -- as opposed to a series of trumped-up plot machinations -- standing in the way of romance.
02/15/07
Story would be easy to take more seriously if the technique weren't so unpolished.
10/18/06
A warmhearted tale carried by genuine affection and a charming cast rather than cutting one-liners and turbo-charged plotting.
