Reception
[edit]Jeanette Catsoulis fromThe New York Timesdisliked the picture:
A tired mash-up of every men-behaving-badly sitcom ever to grace a third-tier television network,Speed-Datingtries to coax laughs from characters so dated evenEddie Murphywould balk.[1]
On the other hand, Nick Pinkerton fromThe Village Voicegave 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]
