Peter (David Chokachi) has been widowed for a while now but can't shake the memories of the great times he had with his late wife, especially when he proposed to her on a beach surrounded by candles as the sun went down. But his grown up daughter, Julie (Brianna Joy Chomer), clearly sees that he is popular with women and decides it is time for him to move on, so she registers him with an online dating service and responds to one of the women who likes his profile. It is how he ends up meeting Alexis (Jillian Murray) and surprisingly quickly he believes she is perfect for him. But when Julie meets Alexis and starts to get to know her for real, she starts to suspect Alexis is not all that she seems to be.

The camera work, editing, sets and acting all have clear issues making "A Dangerous Date" an incredibly clunky movie. In fact the issues, those you kind of expect from a TV movie, end up making it incredibly hard work. There was certainly some potential for a good dramatic story though.

It does have one thing which is quite good. We discover that when Peter's wife was in hospital, dying from what we are informed is cancer, we discover that Alexis was there as one of those really young nurse's assistants. As such we get this element of whether Alexis has been stalking Peter for years having become infatuated with him back then. It is a reasonable idea with potential for twists when it comes to events in Peter's life but it could have been executed a whole lot better.
