Date Movie (DVD)

...your mind forever more. Date Movie is the latest film on an ongoing list that I beg you never to even mention again. If you haven't seen it then don't, if anyone you know mentions it and liked it then you must never speak to them again. It really is that bad. The movie is a 'spoof' of other films from two of the writers involved in the Scary Movie series. Buffy's Alyson Hannigan plays Julia Jones, an overweight Bridget Jones type who wants to find ...
...needless to say 70-minutes of Date Movie is enough and we don't really need to subject ourselves to anymore agony. I couldn't see anything else on this rental disc, quite frankly I didn't want to take the time to find out. - Finally - Date Movie is one of the worst movies ever to get a theatrical release. Anyone who finds it funny really needs to seek out real comedy and not waste their time and money on this uninspired, unfunny and totally wretched ...

Review of Date Movie (DVD)

...the movie. However today's movie Date Movie I find impossible to balance; and I'd go so far as to say I'd rather be castrated than have to endure even one second of this drivel ever again. Date Movie is another in a long line of send up movies spoofing some of the most popular movies around. However in my opinion in order for a send up movie to be any good it needs to have either of the following attached to it The Zucker Brothers (Naked Gun, Airplane) ...
...are used in short skits. Date Movie borrows heavily from four movies and in fact nearly the entire first half of the movie is an amalgam of Meet The Parents and Meet The Fockers; both these movies were already comedies and by most peoples views funny enough, so to spoof them is really taking things to far. Talking of taking things too far, each joke if you can call it a joke is stretched out beyond the realms of humour. Two examples of this involve ...

Review of Date Movie (DVD)

Date Movie was written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron seltzer (who was also the director) and was released in February 2006. It is a film belonging to the teen movie genre but it was made and released a long time after this genre was at its peak. This, in my opinion, is why Date Movie was never really that popular. Everything had been done before, and it was not really original but it is still a really funny and light hearted film. ****Story line**** ...

Review of Date Movie (DVD)

I haven't a clue what it was trhat made me start watching this, or what it was that actually kept me watching until the end, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected it to be. That having been said, it's still a bit rubbish, and as far as spoof films go, which is not saying much, it's of a low standard. Alyson Hannigan stars as Julia Jones, who is searching for the right man. The film documents the relationship between her and posh English ...
...romcom is spoofed, in the most blatant and cringeworthy ways. The plot basically takes bits from various romcoms such as Bridget Jones, Hitch, The Wedding Crashers, When Harry Met Sally and many others, with some horrible moments, some that really come close to overstepping the mark, and some that, quite surprisingly, made me laugh out loud. Hannigan seems out of her comfort zone, despite her American Pie pedigree, with leading man Adam Campbell ...

== Date Movie == Date Movie is a comedy film similar to Epic Movie and Scary Movie because they all make fun of other films. There are lots of films that Date Movie skits so I will name some of them in brackets. Date Movie is about an obese woman named Julia Jones (Bridget Jones' Diary) who wants to find the man of her dreams but her father disagrees and wants her to marry a Greek-Indian-Japanese-Jew instead. So Julia goes to Hitch and tells him ...
...contest and goes on the date of a lifetime to A Restaurant with the bachelor, Grant Fockyerdoder (Meet the Fockers). They hit it off, and the very next day Grant goes to meet the parents and then he proposes. Julia accepts, but before they start planning the big day her parents have to meet Grant's family. Grant's parents are delighted, but Julia's dad remains stubborn and wants her to marry a Greek-Indian-Japanese-Jew. They go to see a wedding planner ...

- The plot - Similar to 'Not Another Teen Movie', and 'Scary Movie 1, 2 + 3' 'Date movie' pulls in parts from all those romantic comedies to make a fantastic and uncomparable film. Julia Jones, works in her family cafeteria serving coffee, sad, alone and depressed. Wanting to find her prince charming, whilst her parents want her to marry someone of thier chioce. Providing a almost unfillable category for this man, Julia becomes even more depressed. ...

She then inlists the help of Hitch, hoping that he will be able to help her get her true love. After 'pimping her' out, she's finally ready to fight for Grant. From meeting Julia's parents, to putting up with Julia's nosey neighbour - who loves cats... Grant is put through a seeming hell, but one not worth missing out of. The end of the story? ...

I must start this review with a simple chuckle *hehehe*, this is because this is what you will be doing while watching this film, along with snorting, looking at the screen in disgust, pissing yourself with laughter and laughing soooooo hard you'll regret it in the morning... I watched this film in the cinema, and i think i could be one of the funniest movies of the year. although very rude, foul language and very distasteful, this film really lightens ...

I was really looking forward to watching this film and was let down by what i seen. from the start it all just felt childish and not worth watching but i kept it on and watched it to the end. the film was very funny for the first 5minutes but after that it got boring and the story wasnt that good either. when i seen the actors in the film i thought it would be a good film to watch but it wasnt. it had its ok moments but most the time i could feel ...
...hard to stay awake to finish the film the middle of the film was very simple and the end was just as simple. after the film had finished i couldnt even remember what had happened because it was that boring. not one to watch soon!!! not a very good story line! one good thing was the sountrack to the dvd. ...

This film in my eyes is conntected to Meet the Parents/Meet the Fockers and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I liked both of those films and loved this when I first watched it. Even my partner who doesn't like this sort of filmed enjoyed watching it. Julia Jones works in her family cafeteria serving coffee. She is a very unhappy person.She is looking for her Mr Right, but looking the way she does she knows that it will never happen. Her family want to ...

She needs all the help she can get to make her look beautiful and goes to see a man called Hitch in hope that he will be able to help her. After 'pimping her' out, she's finally ready to fight for Grant Fockyerdoder. Julia takes Grant to meet her parents and he gets quite a shock when he goes to the toilet and sees Jinxers the ...

i'd have to agree with sghawken, it was awful from start to finish. despite some really good actors, it couldnt be saved, and i wish i hadnt bothered. storyline was very predictable, everything else was pretty forgettable, i think they managed to make the 'scary movies' look pretty good! that would be a challenge for anyone, you can definately tell its by the same people as the humour, or stupidity, is exactly the same. the actors are normally really ...
