8 Dates (Spanish: 8 citas) is a 2008 Spanish comedy film written and directed by Peris Romano and Rodrigo Sorogoyen which features an ensemble cast of actors.
The plot, split in 8 parts, concerns about 8 romantic vignettes depicting the evolution of 8 couple relationships. [1]
The screenplay was penned by the helmers Peris Romano and Rodrigo Sorogoyen. [4] The film was produced by Impala and Tesela and it had the participation of TVE and Canal+. [5] Shooting locations included the province of Segovia. [6]
The film was selected for the Málaga Film Festival's official selection, premiering on 10 April 2008. [7] [8] Distributed by Alta Classics, [5] it was theatrically released in Spain on 18 April 2008.
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "an above-average if over-derivative Spanish laffer" which "has fun written all over it and contains more than its share of astute observational comedy, but too often mistakes laffs for the merely absurd". [5]
Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars, comparing it to a mix of Love Actually and Escenas de matrimonio , considering that the hook consisting of the extended cast full of known faces "gets lost along the way and soon [the film] falls into cliché, clumsy and predictable love situations". [9]
