Amazon.co.uk Review
Sophomoric is too weak a word by at least half to describe the utter silliness Date Movie revels in at every turn. But that's exactly the point of this effort in lowbrow slapstick that proudly proclaims it was created by two of the six writers of the Scary Movie franchise. Adhering to the same spoof formula of those movie romps, Date Movie lampoons countless other current movie characters and plot themes, plus a few that might be a little old for the core audience of youngsters to remember. Date Movie isn't quite as successful in keeping the gags at the same pace they came in the Scary Movies, but it will certainly satisfy those with a taste for tasteless humor. The wisp of a story involves fat girl Julia Jones, played by Alyson Hannigan, who quickly becomes as thin and pretty as she was in the American Pie movies and on TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You'll lose count how many movie references writer/directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer throw in her path as she searches for true love in a world gone mad. Hitch, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Meet the Fockers, King Kong, Lord of the Rings, When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Kill Bill, are just a few of the movies that get unkindly homage. There's also plenty of flatulence, mild sexual ribaldry, and the kind of bad taste humor that will utterly delight the pubescent and teenage audience this movie was made for. --Ted Fry

Synopsis
This send-up of romantic comedies is directed by SCARY MOVIE screenwriters Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, and features the comedic talents of Jennifer Coolidge, Fred Willard, and BUFFY's Allyson Hannigan.

Customer Reviews

One star is too good for this film
Easily the worst film in my DVD collection anyone thinking about purchasing this just simply shouldn't. If you are one of the people that are looking for a waste of time comedy i would recoment 'The Shining' before this film! APPALLING!

In general the jokes in Date Movie don't work
There are one or two very funny moments in this film but on the whole it fails to deliver humour and tries to do so by being over crude and unoriginal.This is like an American Pie movie but the pie has been overcooked.

fun
some of this film had me in stitches. The constant references to other hollywood movies are perfect to keep you on your toes and have you remembering films you havent seen for so long!!i'd recommend it, but only to rent, not to buy!
