Memorable, crazy movie

Crappy film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Up until very recently, this film was on IMDb's infamous Bottom 100 list--the 100 lowest rated movies to receive a minimum number of votes from the public. Because of this, I put it on my queue for Netflix as I have an insane desire to see the very worst films of all time in addition to the best. I've already seen all of the films in Harry Medved's "The Fifty Worst Movies of All Time" and I am trying to see all of IMDb's as well...though a few simply are not available in the States or do not have English captions. So was "Date Movie" terrible? Well, like all these rotten parody films (such as "Disaster Movie" and "Epic Movie"), it is designed to appeal to teenagers and I cannot imagine adults enjoying it in any way. In fact, I really think most teens wouldn't enjoy it...mostly just the stupid ones.The film sends up films like "When Harry Met Sally", "Hitch", "Meet the Parents", "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and a variety of other romantic films as well as the TV show "The Bachelor". A few of the jokes are funny...most are just gross and stupid. If you like fat jokes, folks beating up hobos and really, really crude jokes (such as about cats relieving themselves and anal sex references)...you'll like the movie.Overall, the film was about as bad as I expected....without any sort of redeeming value...unless you are REALLY drunk or extraordinarily stupid. And, I must admit that while I enjoy watching a dumb film from time to time, these sorts of things are pretty much impossible for me to enjoy or want to see twice...they're not just dumb but artless, brainless and will rot your mind.

Is it absolutely ridiculous and tasteless? Well yes, but allow your immature side to have a little fun. It may be because I watched it by myself as a young teen that this movie holds its glee for me but I still laughed really hard and had a good time when I saw it again more recently (6-8 years later). Don't go into the movie expecting something sophisticated or classy and you can have a good laugh. Also it is fun to watch out for all the references to other movies (since it is a spoof movie after all.) Also props to the two main actors Allison Hannigan and Adam Campell for being the ones that truly make this movie comical.

Date Movie is a failed movie, and the last time I checked, it was in IMDb's bottom 250. Now I know as to why it is on such a shameful list. The film is vulgar and pointless and it is like a broken record, and it repeats the same unfunny gags and jokes again and again. The movie makes no sense. The movie makes fun of romantic films and it is about an overweight girl who falls in love with a man with a British Accent. Many unfunny gags are used such as a cat making bodily dysfunctions on the toilet and a girl with an over sized butt. The film doesn't even parody the romantic movies, the film just makes them look far better. I didn't laugh once during the whole thing, and the definition of a parody is to make laughs. And that I didn't laugh at all is saying something because I thought that Epic Movie and Vampires Suck were both funny. To summarize this, this movie fails to do what other parody movies have done:exaggerate the parts/elements of a movie to the extent that it is funny. They don't exaggerate, they come up with non-relevant scenes that doesn't pertain at all to a parody movie. This movie is not worth your time. I am trying to save you from this horrible movie.

This movie features a gag where a cat sits on a toilet for over a minute while disgusting noises play.I laughed hysterically at this. For the whole scene.This movie is good for the immature-at-heart. Anyone looking for real satire should look elsewhere. A few stretches aren't funny, but enough made me laugh to give this an 8/10.That's really all I can say about the humor. The production quality, acting, and music are all right, though nothing special.Most of the best gags are visual. I don't think the writers know much about verbal comedy.
