Amiable romantic comedy about "the all-important third date" -- a sort of D-Date -- and about the deceptions undertaken for the sake of a Good Impression. The borrowed car and apartment are such large deceptions as to border on mere distractions (the subsequently stolen car is beyond the border), and where Annette O'Toole is just a straight actress, Martin Short is a bit too much a molded comedian, all the way down to his vocal impression of Montgomery Clift ("I'm not sure who that is," remarks his date, "but that was very good" -- and she's right, too!). Nevertheless, screenwriters Armyan Bernstein -- who also directed -- and Gail Parent have a good attention span and good concentration and sometimes an actual good observation, not to mention a good subject to begin with.
