 Surprisingly a Good Parody Movie June 28, 2009
James N Simpson (Gold Coast, QLD Australia)
I wasn't expecting much at all but this is surprisingly one of the better of the recent parody movies. Alyson Hannigan shows she has some real comedic talent. I love her as Lily in How I met Your Mother but she doesn't get to show just how funny she is, especially with physical comedy such as wearing the fat suit in this one. She's long been the sidekick in movies and other TV shows as well such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer but shows with this she can play the leading role. I hope she keeps making How I Met Your Mother but I hope she gets more opportunities like this to be the leading comedy actor in future projects as she has talent I'd never realised she had before.
Some of the films this movie parodies scenes from are, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Pretty Woman, When Harry Met Sally, What Women Want, Kill Bill, Dodge Ball, Hitch, Shallow Hal, Book of Fate, Jerry Mcguire, Wedding Crashers, Mr and Mrs Smith, Lord of the Rings and King Kong.
The parody character of Jinx the cat (from Meet the Parents) steals this movie though, watch it for his appearances alone.
Romance comedy spoof November 3, 2008

It was an ok movie. I'm just saying what i think, but they needed a girl who wasn't flat as a board for the main girl, just sayin'. A good comedy, i'd definetly watch it again. Loved the Napoleon Dynamite spoof at the begining. I say see it, especially if you like romantic comedies.
 A very, very bad movie April 11, 2007

I recently witnessed this car crash of a movie. I usually like parodys but this movie was boring and unfunny.
The ads proudly state "From 2 of the 6 writers of Scary Movie". Need another reason not to see it? April 10, 2007

The writers of this movie thought that referencing dozens of different movies would make a comedy. No. There has to be jokes, funny jokes. There needs to be something humorously said about the original films to make it a satire. I have seen many of the films this movie "spoofs" including Napoleon Dynamite, When Harry Met Sally, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Hitch, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Wedding Planner, Jerry Maguire, Sleepless in Seattle, and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and ALL of them are funnier than Date Movie. It really is pointless to spoof comedies. The writers don't even reference date movies all the time. They reference King Kong, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and it doesn't work. Even the so-so Scary Movie films have something to say about the films they are spoofing. Not only was it terribly unfunny, it was sick. I like Monty Python and American Pie but when a cat starts humping a decayed human torso I draw the line.
The writers of this film also made Epic Movie. I saw Date Movie on DVD. I will not see Epic Movie ever or any other film made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. It is a sad time in our world and an extremely small part of that sadness is the fact that movies like these are made and make millions at the box office.
