Love Dot Com: The Social Experiment (2019) User Reviews

Disappointing....

[AgeOfAquarius · 3/10 · 2 March 2020]

My wife and I really liked the idea for this film and the cast but the execution was simply disappointing. The slow pace, due to bad writing and a film needing more cut out, really hurts the movie. Also the film is supposed to be based on the idea of online dating, yet it takes forever for the leads to get to that point and how it's done will honestly have you saying, really though? The saving grace of this film is the cast. We enjoyed pretty much all of the characters. The two leads were great. We really liked the male lead's character. We really liked the female lead's character early on, but eventually she is given flaws that come out and you lose any sympathy for her. Once the online dating actually begins, this movie falls apart, slows to a crawl and trudges to its finale which is one of the oddest endings ever. The finale will leave you saying WTF. I love seeing Black Love on film and in a more positive light, but this film really misses the mark.

Still Awaiting the Climax

For my husband and I we thought it was a very cute, but slow movie. We were so hopeful of the climax and ending that we stuck to it. We were very disappointed that the climax never happened, but we were completely distraught over the ending! It was like we finally came to some excitement AAAAND then the ending credits started rolling. Too much "fluff" and not enough excitement and love. Cute concept though...

Zzzzzz

If you want to fall asleep with your partner this will be the perfect movie to watch. Starts slow and keeps that pace.

What the actual ****

[bekaann93 · 1/10 · 23 April 2020]

Really!!!!!!!! The ending was trash... B' acting was trash. We casted this movie? B' dad looks like her brother? Greg's dad don't even have nearly the same skin tone? Just waste of time! Take it off Netflix!

Boring

This movie is perfect if you just want something playing in the background. The acting is forced and just plain terrible. The conversations are awkward and seem very unnatural. The storyline of the movie is extremely boring and Slow. The social experiment was 1 hour 37 minutes too long!

Uhhhh...what happened here?

The premise of the movie is great. Unfortunately that's where the magic ends. The movie was choppy, the storyline super slow in places then too quick and unorganized in others. I don't understand the casting of the film. B's dad looked 41, B's mom looked 50+ (don't get me wrong LisaRaye is absolutely gorgeous) and then B looked almost 40. I mention this because the casting seemed to be all over the place. My best guess is that the movie was created on a super small budget so they had to do the best they could.

A bit of a snooze fest overall but the movie has potential. Too bad it fizzled out before the spark. Beyond all of the above, what was especially disappointing was how they ended the movie. Did the budget run out which caused such a hasty ending?

Had potential to be a great movie

The movie had a beautiful cast which made it enjoyeable to watch (except B's parents they could have found older folks to act those roles, at some point they even add some white to their hair to try and make them look older..it's a movie not a play!). But that wasn't even what pissed me off! The movie is called Love dot com and it really had nothing to do with it. They kept forcing scenes to do with love dot com that were just annoying and the movie could do without. It was just backwards for me tbh. She already FOUND an amazing man, like who in their right mind would want to go back to online dating when a handsome financially stable sweet man loves her!? Don't even get me started on the ending, smh after wasting scenes watching them on dates (and her sister's date too who needed to see that!) they could have spend more time giving us a better ending. But I guess they were trying to tie the ending to the boomerang movie Greg kept talking about *rolls eyes*. It had so much potential to be a great movie.

Most boring movie I've ever seen

[azikiwe-49124 · 1/10 · 3 April 2020]

The acting was bad, the movie had no excitement. The story had such potential but it never reached it. Just a super boring movie. The romance was so lack luster smh nah this movie was a NO

Wack

[orangestar-67074 · 1/10 · 5 March 2020]

Generic, bootleg and boring. Only good thing it was filmed in the city (DC) but lacks any real flavor.

BORED!!

[dainajones · 1/10 · 18 March 2020]

I'm so sorry but this movie was long-winded and boring! I definitely had this playing in the background whilst I was surfing the internet and eventually closed down the tab. Watch this if you need background noise.

Perfect

[apiphanykennedy · 10/10 · 6 March 2020]

The movie was awesome and i love how B made the correct decision, and i love the message in the movie you always love the man that love you more. I just wish it didn't end that way please make a part two

Frustrating

[frenchnfit · 4/10 · 18 December 2020]

Goodness. All these beautiful people and only one decent kiss. The female lead character is frustrating to watch. She has a beautiful, intelligent, man that has $$ and is ready to risk it all for her yet she can't get past them not matching on a stupid dating site. The fact that she's shocked he didn't actually fill out his profile himself just leaves you wondering how such a seemingly intelligent woman can be so dumb. Then her stress smoking was strange. The ending was bizarre and a bit of a cliffhanger. Honestly the best part of this movie was the DC background which had me reminiscing about my time in the DMV and wondering why there were never any fine Black men in Mom's grocery when I was shopping there.
