2nd Date Sex (2019)
7/10
A fun, awkward, likeable comedy
17 August 2020
Watched this not expecting much, but i was really pleasantly surprised.

Laura and Ryan meet at a nightclub, and after an awkward exchange at the bar, we then jump to their second date. They both receive different, but equally terrible advice from their friends about how to seduce each other...

The two main characters, played by Mackay and Roach, are such likeable characters, i found myself willing them on, and cringeing every time there was a false start for them. They both play the awkwardness so well, nd with the fringe characters (especially Tom Bell's Adam, a housemate whom both Ryan and his other housemate Dan have never learned the name of), providing additional laughs, this is a great comedy.

Undoubtedly cringeworth in places, but without malice, i found myself rooting for them, even with everything else that gets thrown their way on this one night, interspersed with flashbacks to their first drunken encounter.

All in all, this is a good comedy with solid performances all round, and a last minute twist that helps add a new element to the already tricky and clumsy night that Ryan and Laura have both experienced
