The Perfect Date is a 2019 romantic comedy film directed by Chris Nelson and starring Noah Centineo, Laura Marano, and Odiseas Georgiadis. The film follows the story of Brooks Rattigan (Noah Centineo), a high school student who dreams of attending Yale University but lacks the financial resources to do so. In an effort to make some money, Brooks creates an app that allows him to be hired as a fake date. With the app, he can be whoever his clients want him to be and go wherever they want him to go.

Brooks is initially paid to be a date for a wealthy girl named Celia Lieberman (Laura Marano) who wants to impress her ex-boyfriend. Brooks, who is initially interested only in the money his clients can offer him, realizes that he can enjoy the dates he goes on by being someone else entirely.

At the same time, Brooks is also struggling with his feelings for his best friend, Murph (Odiseas Georgiadis), who is a coder and assists Brooks in building his app. While Murph is fully supportive of Brooks' business venture, he also wants Brooks to pursue his own dreams instead of pleasing his clients.

As Brooks goes on several fake dates, he starts to realize that he is developing feelings for Celia. However, his facade and the fact that he is not being himself, gets in the way of their relationship. Brooks must make a decision about what he really wants - money and success or true love.

The Perfect Date is a heartwarming and humorous film that is perfect for fans of romantic comedies. Noah Centineo delivers an excellent performance as Brooks, pulling off both the awkwardness of a teenager and the confident persona he creates for his clients. Laura Marano also shines as Celia Lieberman, playing the role of a wealthy girl trying to find her own way in the world with great depth and complexity. The chemistry between the two actors is electric, and they make a delightful on-screen couple.

The film also tackles important themes of independence, friendship, and authenticity. Brooks must learn to value himself for who he is, and not what he can offer others. The role of Murph, played by Odiseas Georgiadis, highlights the importance of having supportive and honest friends who can help steer us in the right direction.

The Perfect Date is a great film for fans of romantic comedies or anyone who loves a good coming-of-age story. It is also a great reminder that sometimes, the perfect date is simply being true to yourself.
