Date Movie (2006)

Date Movie: Ah where do I start?

How bad is this movie?

It's marginally better than "Epic Movie," which is not saying a lot. This is mostly because of Alyson Hannigan as "Julia Jones," an obese waitress in a Greek diner who dreams of finding True Love (but not before a makeover!) and Adam Campbell, who plays the WASPy love interest Grant - I can't spell his last name, but trust me, it's "funny." Many, many romantic films, such as "Pretty Woman," "When Harry Met Sally," and more recent ones are parodied, as well as TV shows, high tech gadgets. celebrities and other pop culture phenomenon. Other movies which don't fall under the romance genre are spoofed as well. Like "Napoleon Dynamite." Which sounds humorous perhaps, but it's not. The guy in the cubicle next to yours probably has a better imitation. At any rate, imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but without a twist of originality, the joke falls flat. It's like the filmmakers pulled a bunch of things to mock out of a hat and then put them all in a blender and pressed High for the ultimate in noxious pop culture blends. Recommended only for die-hard Hannigan fans or perhaps the inebriated.

Dissing this movie is like double parking in the "Handicapped" space so I'll stop now.

Stupid as hell parody!

Thanks to the magic of a love doctor named Hitch (Tony Cox),former fat slob turned thin beauty Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan) meets the man of her dreams named Grant Fockeydoer(Adam Campbell) as the dates go successful. But when he preposes to her, they have to meet each others parents, plan their big fat greek wedding, and survive the terrible friend of Grant named Andy (Sophie Monk).

Horrible parody of romantic movies and comedies alike like "Meet the Parents/Fockers", "My Best Friend's Wedding", "Napoleon Dynamite", "Say Anything", etc. including some non-romantic movies like "Kill Bill", "Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars Episode III" and such all as the directorial debuts from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Setlzer. While not as godawful as "Meet The Spartans" or "Epic Movie", this is still a very bad spoof that just uses pop culture references rather then solid laughs like in a real spoof movie by Mel Brooks or David Zucker. Fred Willard with Jennifer Coolidge and Eddie Griffin co-star but they can't save this disaster of a so-called spoof although Hannigan and Monk are sexy as hell in this movie.

This DVD has suprisingly alot of extras as if this dung-pile was treated as a quality movie with stuff like deleted scenes, play with laugh-track, commentaries, extended scenes, alternate scenes, featurettes, Gag reel, TV Spots, and screen savers. Avoid this trash like the plague and seek a real parody and not these atrocious Friedberg and Seltzer duds! August 20, 2008
