Product Description:
Coffee Date is a fast-paced comedy filled with sexual shenanigans of a misguided kind. Straight-laced Todd (Jonathan Bray) embarks on a blind date with Kelly, but his mundane world is quickly turned inside out when his female date turns out to be a hunk (Wilson Cruz, Party Monster ). Friends and family even his mother not only think he s gay, but help thrust him towards this new romantic endeavor! Surrounded by an excellent supporting cast including comical Jonathan Silverman and Oscar®-nominated Sally Krikland, Coffee Date is a refreshing, madcap comedy of errors and the perfect metrosexual date movie.

"Coffee Date"
OOOps!!!!
Amos Lassen
A hit at GLBT festivals, "Coffee Date" is still going strong. It's a very funny and touching look at the nature of friendship and sexual preference. Within it are some of the best performances and good writing that we have had in independent gay cinema in quite some time
The beginning of the film is about an internet date that goes all wrong. That very same date ends up being the start of a beautiful friendship. ... Read More
Rating:  - ... And then there was the ending.
In a world where gay movies produce stereotypes and clash the "straight" world with the "gay" world, Coffee Date produces a breath of fresh air when a straight man and gay man end up on a blind date and then turn into friends. The movie produces various giggle opportunities when the straight character ends up with a reputation for being gay and is widely accepted by everyone, to the point of his mother wearing PFLAG shirts and his office coworkers giving him a very interesting birthday present.

Rating: - A Sweet Surprise
What a delightful, charming and refreshing look at gay/straight/friendship/love relationships. There were SO many opportunities for cliche that I couldn't help but sit on the edge of my seat just waiting for them to happen. But they never came. I was constantly surprised at how well the writers (and the truly endearing leads) wandered into situations that could have been simply rehashes of the standard old dreck and yet with a surprising earnestness, a genuine humanity and the kind of subtlety rarely seen in ...

Rating:  - Light but Irrestible!
Not knowing what to expect when I purchased the DVD, I really enjoyed this film. Yes, it is light, fun and at times a little lacking in pacing. But, when it does catch fire it becomes a madcap comedy reminiscent of the Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart comedies of the forties. "Arsenic and Old Lace" and "Harvey" immediately comes to mind. It's definitely romantic - but not in the way one usually thinks of romantic films. You would never think of this film as low-budget. Not with the quality of writing, directing and ... Read More
Rating: - Warm and sweet.....
What struck me about this wonderful comedy is the depiction of a warm and respectful relationship between a gay man, Kelly (Wilson Cruz) and a straight man, Todd (Jonathan Bray). Despite the growing confusion of Todd's sexual preference, they are building a deep friendship while exploring their sexual roles and finding common ground. I have not seen this type of relationship depicted in gay films before. "Coffee Date" is a charming and sensitive film with fun dialogue and situations. Well-cast and directed.
