 | Date Movie : 本国映画ライターによる映画の内容 with イングリッシュ : English Description of Story |  |  |  |  | Amazon.com: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 |  |  |  |  | | | | | Date Movie : 現地ハリウッド市民の評価 : 英語批評版 : Native Evaluation | | | | |  It's a SATIRE / 2006-03-01
I found this movie funny. No, it's not Oscar material. It's not meant to be. It's meant to make you LAUGH. And everybody in the audience was. I will say I thought the cat on the toilet scene was gross. But the rest was pretty funny even though apparently some people are upset that they couldn't figure out what movie they were lampooning. The funniest scenes were the male lead playing a "Pretty Woman" prostitute (he didn't look bad) and when Julia commandeers a motorcycle to get back to her fiance - the stunt person riding the bike is obviously a black man in a pink dress. What was that about? Oh well, it was funny. Throughout the movie, Julia maintains her optimism in life, interspersed with a little low self-esteem.
Don't give up, Prince Charming is out there - you just have to overlook a lot once you find him. | | | | | | | | | | | | so stupid, it was kind of funny. / 2006-03-01
Meet the Parents and Pretty Woman were just a few of many bits and pieces they had in this movie. This movie was soo stupid. I don't mean Napolean Dynomite stupid or Anchorman stupid. A fat ugly girl turns into a skinny and beautiful after seeing Hitch in a Pimp My Ride attempt and ends up on The Bachelorette where a weirdo bachelor shoots off the loser opponents and ends up marrying her. There are many funny scenes in the movie, like the cat that takes a dump and the Michael Jackson scenes. The plot is so stupid. This movie is so stupid, that I guess it was pretty funny. It had me laughing. I seen it on a 4 dollar Tuesday night so I suggest you do the same. | | | | | | | | | | | |  How to Lose an Audience in 10 Days / 2006-02-27
I enjoy spoof movies. I've seen "Airplane" a million times, the Scary Movie franchise still makes me laugh, and the "Naked Gun" films were inspired and fresh. Heck, even "Not Another Teen Movie" had its funny moments.
This film, on the other hand, simply falls flat. I think the writers forgot that to make a spoof, they had to do more than just menetion the movie they are spoofing, or at least make the spoof moment somewhat satirical and entertaining. It's like they made a list of all the films they wanted to make fun of and then couldn't come up with ways to make them funny.
Examples:
1) We need to spoof Pretty Woman! Let's have the male star dress up as a hooker and walk down Melrose in a flashback sequence! Wait a minute, huh? Why is the male star imitating a female prostitute again?
2) We need to spoof Meet the Parents! I know, let's have the goofy Ben Stiller character knock down the urn with the mother's ashes in it, only THIS time, we'll have an entire dead body spill out of the urn instead of ashes. Oh that will be a hoot! And THEN we'll have the cat go and french kiss the dead body instead of pee on it. That's hysterical!
3) We need to spoof Kill Bill!! (Wait... what? Is that even a date movie?)
4) We need to spoof Hitch. I know! Let's have a dwarf play some guy named Hitch who gives love advice to our lead female. Hysterical!
5) We need to spoof When Harry Met Sally. I have a great idea. For no reason at all, we'll start a dinner scene with our male star faking an orgasm (ridiculously I might add). He won't be trying to prove a point or anything, he'll just be wailing around like a dying seal for no reason at all at the beginning of the scene. That will get a huge laugh.
6) We need to spoof My Big Fat Greek Wedding. So let's have our female be a member of a huge family, and we'll have her father be a black man and her mother be Indian. That's too much humor right there folks.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. This movie doesn't hit the same, satirical notes that better spoof movies do. It just succeeds in mentioning a bunch of date movies and making you feel sick to your stomach while at the same time feeling confused. I guess that's worth ONE star.... | | | | | | | | | | | |  A rental! / 2006-02-25
A good laugh, but only if you have seen a lot of "date movies" - which is the only true way to see the humor in this movie. I was surprised that they dug back as far as they did - I expected it would be just current "date" movies. Went back to Pretty Woman and even Say Anything! Definitely a rental - wait for the dvd! | | | | | | | | | | | | avoid unless you are extremely bored..... / 2006-02-23
i would recommend seeing date movie if you are either bored out of your skull or have been helkd at gunpoint. otherwise, i'm quite certain you will find better things to do with your time which could include reading amazon reviews or saving your dollars for quality entertainment on a rainy day. luckily for me, i caught the matinee last saturday & the admission was only a little over $3. had i followed my intuition, i would've left the movie during the first 20 minutes & demanded a refund. glutton for punishment, i stayed with a friend & watched the entire film. ok, i laughed a few times but i'm not applauding this movie. more or less, you can't help but laugh at how embarassing it really is or how the films lacks cohesiveness. anyone can appreciate the parody films which celebrate or give honor to all the great films which can be made fun of easily but this one is not even a good rough draft. date movie parodies everything from the recent king kong all the way to my best friend's wedding albeit very poorly. yes, the filmmakers obviously had a decent idea but the script doesn't gel at all. i tend to think this film could've been a winner had the wayans brothers completed the project. i wanted so very much to like this film & to laugh my head off but yet i couldn't. i really don't even know why it is still playing in theatres. for a better raunchy comedy with no holds barred, i suggest dirty love with jenny mccarthy. skip this one if you know what's good for your wallet. believe it or not, this is the lowest rating i have ever given to any movie here on amazon. | | | | | | | |
