Longest Third Date

There really is nothing about this documentary that makes it remotely interesting. Boring self-obsessed couple looking for attention. I am sorry I wasted anything past 30 minutes trying to give it a chance to redeem itself. Because of the self-absorbed nature of the people involved it is very easy to see where this was going. Any serious challenges were not portrayed. 'Fluff' piece, in all honesty. They portray 'problems' that they created themselves. Jetting off during a pandemic, 4-wheeling when they didn't know where they were and damaging their vehicle. Showing zero sense of intelligence or accountability for their self-created drama.

The "Documentary" tag is disappointingly inaccurate. "Reality?" Sure. Which makes the whole thing cringeworthy. Why lie? A more apt title would be "Wannabe 'Influencer' & Immature Woman Make a Movie." On March 17, 2020 - weeks after the world was advised of a grave public health threat and a week after the WHO declared a global pandemic - a handsome white guy who wants to be an influencer buys cheap tickets to Costa Roca for himself and an immature 30-year old Asian girl he claims to want to take on a third date for five days. Cheap tickets because airlines had already figured out that travel would end soon. And then COVID unexpectedly happened?! Puh-leeze. If you read any newspaper, you knew already in December 2019 what was coming. After watching this docudrama, I conclude that it was professionally cast and deliberately (reen)acted . It is hard to know which parts, if any, were recorded during the putative vacation and which were made afterward. But it is crystal clear that much of the footage was created for the sole purpose of making a movie. So, it's insincere at best, but really it's just duplicitous factionalized "reality." Two stars because the wildlife was nice to see.

I am not sure why this fake documentary had happened. It's sold as real. And obviously it is not. It is easy to see that is mostly new footage. Embarrassing. And insult to intelligence. First and foremost, no mask or social distance anywhere, a car with no plates, a pharmacist with no mask, the car again without a camera inside recording... Second, and probably the worst, is how d*mb and superficial the guy is. Looks like a "daddy boy" who lived pandemic in a bubble plenty of money coming from home. His major problems were having a haircut weekly or how to kill a spider. Great. Third, I don't get the point of the documentary. To me is about two rich uninspiring people who traveled to Costa Rica not taking any responsibility and then staying for two months on the most luxury Airbnb, hotels and host families I've never watched. And I've traveled to more than 30 countries including Costa Rica. Last, if your rental car in Costa Rica has damage you're in trouble with law enforcement, high amount of money to pay etc... Here it looks like everything is all right 'bro, we're here chilling around Pedro the Mechanic. Dumb. Anyway, If your brain still works, I suggest to avoid watching this fake painful uninspiring fake documentary about a time that was painful to most of people around the glove (My girlfriend chose this one) Lol.

Really enjoyed this, deserves a higher rating! It was well edited together, the couple were both likeable individuals and I cared about their journey. Well worth a watch. It's great that the chap filmed so many of their adventures as they will always have the memories to look back on. A very unique story they have to tell. Have recommended to family and friends and could probably rewatch it having enjoyed it so much myself. One of the rare gems to be found on Netflix. Visually it's very appealing too and the soundtrack is also well chosen, making it an easy, Uplifting watch that will leave you with a smile on your face :)
