“Date Movie” Movie Review
By: Sam Steinhauser
“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,” says Joshua Tyler. Date Movie is about a girl who is rather large and is trying to find her dream husband. Her family is very make-shift, having an Asian daughter, a Caucasian daughter, and an African-American father, none of which were adopted. Julia Jones, the rather large girl goes to a guy named “Hitch” who is supposedly a match-maker. He gets Julia to be extremely pretty and not fat anymore.
Julia then has the confidence to ask out the British guy who she finds attractive. The movie takes already funny movies and twists them a little to try to make them funnier. I found this movie hilarious. It was very unrealistic and stupid, but it was funny. I wouldn’t recommend this movie for younger viewers because they may not understand all the jokes and parodies.
Part of the movie was where they filmed a cat on the toilet, kind of constipated looking, for about 5 minutes. It clearly wasn’t even a real cat. It was funny at first but after like 30 seconds it got boring. There was also a part where they showed pointless flashbacks that had nothing to do with the plot line. I found it un-amusing.
So overall I would give this movie a C. It was hilarious but some parts were just totally unnecessary. I would recommend this movie to anyone who has seen Kill Bill and Lord of the Rings. Also, fans of the Scary Movie series may enjoy it.
