Date Movie (2006)

Spoof of romantic comedies which focuses on a man (Campbell), his crush (Hannigan), his parents (Coolidge, Willard), and her father (Griffin)

    Imdb.com shows this movie as having a star rating of 2.6 out of 10. And yet I watched it. I do not know why. I'd like to blame medication, my lack of school work, anything. But alas, I cannot. I saw this because I actually thought it might be funny. How wrong I was.

     First of all, the acting is terrible and I hated everyone, even Alyson Hannigan, who I generally find appealing. The spoofs were unfunny, vulgar, and random so the movie felt like a series of bad impression sketches, which has been the downfall of other recent spoof movies, like Disaster Movie (which, I will admit, was worse than Date Movie) and Epic Movie (equally bad, I'd say). 

    Seriously, I'm lying belly down on my mattress at 3 in the morning trying to think of anything else to write about this movie, but it was just awful. There was NOTHING redeeming about it. Not one funny sketch, not one moment where I smiled...nothing. This would be an AWFUL movie to take a date to. 

   If you liked the Scary Movie franchise, maybe you'd like this, I do not know. Those weren't that great in my opinion anyway, but they did have a slightly more coherent plot, but still much too crude for my taste. 

    In a nutshell, avoid this movie like the plague. This one finally convinced me to stop watching these spoof movies and give up on my dream of a good spoof film anytime soon. I'll stick to old Mad TV sketches and SNL from now on, thank you. Even Family Guy has better cultural references. I am not joking, and I don't care if I sound obnoxious, BURN THIS FILM. BURN IT. It does not deserve a happy ending.
