Speed-Dating is a 2010 film written and directed by Joseph A. Elmore Jr. and starring Wesley Jonathan, Chris Elliott, and Holly Robinson Peete.
Best friends Dog ( Chico Benymon) and Beaver ( Leonard Robinson) have difficulty ever meeting women. No matter what they do, nothing ever goes right for them. That all changes when the best friend Too Cool ( Wesley Jonathan) invites them to try out a round of speed dating.
Jeanette Catsoulis from The New York Times disliked the picture:
A tired mash-up of every men-behaving-badly sitcom ever to grace a third-tier television network, Speed-Dating tries to coax laughs from characters so dated even Eddie Murphy would balk. [1]
On the other hand, Nick Pinkerton from The Village Voice gave the film a mixed to positive review:
With characters named Too Cool, Dog, and Beaver, Speed-Dating already won... A homemade vaudeville that’s likable enough to wear you down with its eager-to-please capering. [2]
