Dating movies have one specific objective: to get couples thinking about the people they came with in ways that lead to the twining of fingers, the dabbing of tears and, after the show, . . . whatever. As long as they achieve that objective, perhaps they shouldn't be judged too harshly by grumpy film critics for unromantic things like stale plots, unconvincing characters and risible dialogue. But that's what grumpy film critics are for, isn't it?
