Mystery Date description A Risky Business clone with loftier ambitions, Mystery Date holds up surprisingly well despite its '80s teen-flick trappings. This was Ethan Hawke's follow-up to the successful family adventure White Fang, and it's fun to watch the fresh-faced future Mr. Uma Thurman playing a shy guy named Tom who's obsessed with his dishy neighbor Geena (then-newcomer Teri Polo, in '80s big-hair splendor). When Tom's criminally entangled brother (Brian McNamara) manipulates Tom into a mistaken-identity date with Geena, they soon find themselves chased by a crazed delivery driver (Fisher Stevens), a hot-headed L.A. detective (SCTV alumnus Tony Rosato), and a Chinese mob kingpin (B.D. Wong) whose henchmen are named Ben and Jerry (giving some indication of this movie's dim sense of humor). Plot twists proliferate, and Polo (who had to wait until 2000's Meet the Parents for another decent movie role) manages to flatten her funniest line of dialogue. All of which makes Mystery Date a hit or miss affair, but mostly it hits. --Jeff Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Love this movie! |
| I love the movie and would give it 5 stars but the DVD has no extra features so the movie is 5 stars but the DVD its self is 4 stars. This movie is a little older (Early 90's) But I've watched it from way back when. It's a movie I had on vidio and watch it so much that the tape started to warp. (But I watch movies while I work on things where most people play music.) I like romantic comadies and I love the inxs music, but I don't know if younger generations would agree. I could tell you that my older brother and my mom liked this movie back when I first got the VHS but that was probly in 1997. Hope this helped. | |
