==Reception== Jeanette Catsoulis from ''The New York Times'' disliked the picture: {{Blockquote|A tired mash-up of every men-behaving-badly sitcom ever to grace a third-tier television network, ''Speed-Dating'' tries to coax laughs from characters so dated even Eddie Murphy would balk.<ref>{{cite web|last=Catsoulis |first=Jeannette |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/2010/10/01/movies/01speed.html |title=Three Men Behaving (Really) Badly - NYTimes.com |publisher=Movies.nytimes.com |date=2010-09-30 |accessdate=2011-07-12}}</ref>}}
On the other hand, Nick Pinkerton from ''The Village Voice'' gave the film a mixed to positive review: {{Blockquote|With characters named Too Cool, Dog, and Beaver, Speed-Dating already won...
