Berkowitz is a rather annoying person.
07/21/05
Top CriticAn intermittently hilarious, often painful and too frequently self indulgent documentary.
04/09/05
Myles Berkowitz may be the most annoying human being alive.
07/13/03
Hilarious and a must-see.
12/08/02
Had the filmmaker gone the path of the true, entertaining, and unpretentious faux-documentary, the audience would have cheered our love-starved hero along his entire journey rather than restlessly waiting for a date to strangle him with a camera cable.
06/05/02
A chronicle of how aspiring American filmmaker Myles Berkowitz finally came up with an idea for selling a film: He'd combine his two areas of failure in life -- trying to break into movies and trying to find a girlfriend -- into one problem.

Top CriticI haven't laughed so much at a movie in ages.
02/14/01
There's plenty of spunk, but the high-concept low comedy drags on like the awkward dates it lampoons.

Documentary... mockumentary... it's hard to tell exactly what 20 Dates is, but I know one thing: It's hysterical.
01/01/00
A promising directorial debut by Myles Berkowitz.
01/01/00
An often funny, always engaging romantic comedy filmed in a documentary format.
01/01/00
Early on, Berkowitz tells us that he has just two failings: his personal life and his professional career. By the conclusion of the movie, Myles has apparently remedied both.
01/01/00
Berkowitz went to great trouble to stage, edit, and control certain aspects of his film so that it has a formulaic dramatic structure; one wonders why he didn't make the effort to present himself as a likable human being.

Top CriticWhenever 20 Dates begins to establish a playful mood, it's liable to do something to make you squirm.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt doesn't help that the film eventually loses its focus and has to fumble back to the real storyline at the very end.
01/01/00
20 Dates may be unpleasant to watch, but despite Berkowitz's icky manners and unwinning calculations, he does find true love.
