John Wilson This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen! People who have written negative reviews must not have a sense of humor or they are so politically correct that they cannot laugh anymore. The actors were outstanding, particularly Alyson Hannigan and Eddie Griffin. The humor is quite bawdy, true, but I like movies that are just plain silly, so if you like the airplane movies, or the police squad movies or the scary movies series or The Three Stooges then you will love this movie. I have seen it several times and it still makes me laugh so hard that I have tears in my eyes. I highly recommend this fine viewing experience to anyone who wants to have a seriously hard laugh. Pay particular attention to the basketball scene, the girl with the fat butt, the removal of blubber, Eddie Griffin's eyebrows, and the cat. Don't let the stuffed shirts who gave negative reviews of this movie stop you, I guarantee you will laugh throughout the entire movie!!! And that's why I give it highest marks 10 stars!!!!

Carly1985 I hated this movie within about 30 seconds, but I gave it a chance. Alyson Hannigan was the only good thing in it, but her talents are wasted, as any woman could wear a fat suit and fall on face. I didn't make it all the way through the film, but I saw enough to know that there is nothing redeeming about it.A parody movie can be good if it has some originality and makes clever observations about the genre. Copying every scene from other films, with more exaggeration and grosser humour, does not make a good parody. Likewise, gross out humour in films can be funny (i.e American Pie, Bridesmaids, etc), but using it in every scene and overdoing it is not funny. It seemed that the writers were just trying to be as gross as possible, as that was the only was they could get a laugh. Overall, this movie took the movie references and grossness too far, and wasn't remotely clever or funny.

gregeichelberger When "Airplane!" came out in late 1980, it set the standard for the spoof movie, a motion picture that parodies a whole genre of others. In "Airplane's" case, it was the disaster film. It made fun of the Airport pictures, as well as "The Posidon Adventure," "Earthquake," and "The High and the Mighty," among others.This comedy was followed in quick succession by "Spaceballs," "Amazon Women on the Moon" (which satirized sci-fi movies), the "Naked Gun" films, "Spy Hard," "Mafia" and "Repossessed" (all with Leslie Nielson), "Dracula: Dead and Loving It," "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon I", and the 'Scary Movie" series.Many of these had their own special charm, although none has lived up to the dumb-but- hilarious high mark set by "Airplane!" (although Nielson's "Naked Gun" trio, based on the short-lived 1982 TV show, "Police Squad!," probably came the closest).The newest effort, however, "Date Movie" (a send-up of all of those romantic stories we love to hate), attempts to do to those tales what Dick Cheney did to Harry Whittington's face, pepper it with shotgun pellets without hitting anything vital.This film attempts to make fun of such modern work as "King Kong," "When Harry Met Sally," "Wedding Crashers," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "Kill Bill," "Meet The Parents," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "The Wedding Planner," "Bridget Jones's Diary," "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith," "Hitch," "Napoleon Dynamite," and a whole slew of the hip black comedies seemingly being released every week. Unfortunately, all of these are much better movies than this one satirizing them.And while the scattergun approach has worked before, the multiple targets aimed at by "Date Movie" remain unscathed and the audience, for the most part, remains unmoved (by laughter, anyway).I tried my best just to smirk at some of the "jokes" here, but I could not even force myself. I've actually been to funnier executions. This movie makes France's Reign Of Terror seem like an episode of "Rocky & Bullwinkle." I've gotten bigger laughs with MY jokes, and my jokes stink.I think you get my point.The plot (what there is of it) has one of the most untalented individuals ever to appear before a camera (including Al Gore), Adam Campbell as Grant Fonckyerdodder (get it?!), a nebbish idiot who is wooing Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan, "American Wedding," as well as a host of bad TV shows) and the supposed comic misadventures they go through meeting his folks, Jennifer and Fred (Jennifer Coolidge and Fred Willard, both veterans of the much funnier films, "Waiting For Guffman," "Best Of Show" and "A Mighty Wind").Meanwhile, Grant's beautiful ex-girlfriend, Andy (Sophie Monk), wants him back.Other embarrassed clowns passing themselves off as celebrities appear in this travesty, wondering around like doomed souls on the deck of the HMS Lusitania just before a German torpedo smashed into her cargo of illegal armaments. These include the poor man's Wayne Brady, Eddie Griffin (he played the pimp in the "Deuce Bigalow" pictures, in fact,he plays a pimp in EVERY movie he's ever been in, so you get an idea of what I'm talking about), Carmen Electra, Michael Brooks, Matt Austin and Michael Jackson impersonator, Edward Moss and, oh, who cares?It really doesn't matter one iota, anyway, you know.With Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer ("Scary Movie") sharing writing and directing chores (much like Loeb and Leopold shared in the killing of Bobby Franks – in fact, even Clarence Darrow wouldn't defend these directors), this will go down as nothing but a dull series of parodies that fails to parodize anything and does not even remotely approach the town of Humor.It just stops at Tedium, spends about 90 minutes (although it seems much longer) and ends. To be fair, I guess seeing a cat on the toilet, King Kong groping Electra or Griffin as a midget pimp (is that the only character this goof-ball can play?!) might make one laugh. Probably the same people who sneak into locker rooms to sniff gym socks or those who voted for Al Sharpton, but not anyone else.

gigan-92 This film falls far short of "Scary Movie", or it sequel, even in comparison to the terrible third and fourth. And that's really, REALLY, saying something. The jokes are predictable, being composed of pathetic fart jokes, potty humor and random cursing and innuendo. I literally sat through the whole movie with a blank face and wondered what drives a studio to the point of desperation to release this kind of a movie? The only entertainment I got out of this blunder was the "anit-commntary" when I had rented it. You heard me right, an anit-commentary. So, the film makers knew their work was so lackluster they actually paid two critics to make fun of their own creation. I'll be damned. Wow, the only movie that makes you feel stupid for even renting it in the first place.
