Date Movie- discuss it!

Date Movie


The story of hopeless romantic Julia Jones, who has finally met the man of her dreams, the very British Grant Fonckyerdoder. But before they can have their Big Fat Greek Wedding, they'll have to Meet the Parents; hook-up with The Wedding Planner, and contend with Grant's friend Andy - a spectacularly beautiful woman who wants to put an end to her Best Friend's Wedding.


Read more about this movie in Josh's Previews!

REVIEW:
"Date Movie plays as if the worst two of the six writers of Scary Movie scribbled it down on the back of a cocktail napkin while on the way from their hotel to the set. It sets out to apply Scary Movie's horror parody formula to rom-coms, and in doing so comes up with something, believe it or not, worse. " - Joshua Tyler, CinemaBlend.com [1/5]

The beginning is probably some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a trailer. It goes downhill from there, but I still want to see it.

not to say such a film deserves such attention to detail...but just thought I should let you know that your intro says "two of the three" when it should be "two of the six."



aside from that, goodtimes.

There are people who will no doubt find Date Movie uproariously funny. Luckily for the continued health of our culture and country those people are few and let's face it, they're the types who will laugh at just about anything. This is the absolute bottom rung of spoof-humor, and those of you with an average to above average IQ will find it a nearly impossible task to squeeze out even the tiniest of chuckles.
*sigh* Yep, I was with those people last night. I'll admit, I had a few chuckles, but most of the movie I just kept wondering how much longer I had until the end.

Sorry for insulting you Absy.

There were a few laughing REALLY loud in the one I was at.

I had a hard time staying awake though.

Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad. I thought it was fairly decent.

No, no insult there. There are times when I need mindless humor!

I think if they had tried to parody those movies in an original way, it would have worked. Instead, like you said, they took the best humor and tried too hard. Basically taking the same content, but twisting it.

The one thing I really hated was with the portrayal of the Barbra Streisand character. I think they went too hard there and it almost seemed like an insult instead of a parody
