Playdate (2012)

That was an excellent one.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Please do not waste 1 1/2 hours of your life on this crappy flick. Acting was atrocious, script was lame and the overall execution of the movie could have been better if it was made by high school kids.

I found it really hard to watch to the end.I can't believe I just watched a whole movie that did not contain a single element of surprise.Everyone is acting so unnatural and so stupid in this movie... The mother lets her daughter play with a psycho kid The daughter doesn't seem to mind that the psycho kid tries to kill her The father doesn't worry about anything at all, not even his own life as he decides to remain laying under a suspended car even though there is a crazy killer obviously wanting to kill him.Even the dog eats a plant and dies. My god!Sorry but I just can't recommend watching this.

One of those classic mystery suspense movies. Lifetime's always been a guilty pleasure of mine and this one is right up my alley. Everything about this movie was creepy specifically the mother of the child. I never knew what she was going to do and expected a full freak out scene from her in the end. I would love to know more about what happened to the characters after the story ended. Did Billy stay with the Mom? Were they arrested for anything? I would like to have seen more of Titus actual crime from the beginning, but i get the basic jist of it. Good performances, directing, and a fun story. I have many neighbors and they are all equally crazy lol. If you like these crime thrillers, it's definitely one to check out.

It's the performances that make or break these movies. And the role of Titus was perfectly cast as a quiet haunting type. Whoever the female villain was left me guessing up until the end and both kids did a decent job. And the lead actress was consistent and kept the craziness of the situation at bay with a very believable performance. The husband wasn't your typical Lifetime soapstar, but thoughtful and sincere, as often the testosterone driven husbands in these movies turn on their wives immediately. Could of used a little more resolve at the end ie what happened to the mother and child and even the former father who had lost his child. But that's just me, I need all loose ends wrapped up. Or were they setting it up for a sequel? Either way, great popcorn movie, but don't watch it alone at night (as was my mistake).
