'The Perfect Date': Will Netflix's golden boy Noah Centineo be able to break away from stereotypical rom-com roles?

With Netflix's summer rom-com 'The Perfect Date' just around the corner, it's high time Centineo does a rethink on on the roles he is choosing
PUBLISHED MAR 28, 2019

'The Perfect Date', next Netflix rom-com to star teen heartthrob Noah Centineo in the lead role, has made fans of 'To All the Boys I Have Loved Before' actor very happy.

Centineo plays high school student Brooks Rattigan, who wants to go to Yale and date the most popular girl in school, but things don't work out as planned.

Not until he gets the idea of starting an app, which sets him up with women who want a date for any occasion - in exchange for payment, of course. He is saving up for Yale, and so doesn't mind going out with different women every day to a variety of events.

While the plot of the film is interesting and may make for a fun and entertaining watch, Centineo plays the same role he has portrayed before - a high school boy who overcomes millennial adversities to understand who he really is and what he really wants.
