Synopsis

The twisted minds of two of the screenwriters behind Scary Movie Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg this time skewer the romantic comedy genre. The new film tells the story of hopeless romantic Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan), who has finally met the man of her dreams, the very British Grant Fockyerdoder (Adam Campbell). 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.

Awards: 2006: 1 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress (Carmen Electra)

Critics' reviews

"A lame pastiche of Hollywood romances."

Ruthe Stein: SFGATE
"The only thing remotely resembling parody in this depressing waste of time and money is Jennifer Coolidge's sendup of Barbra Streisand"

Carina Chocano: Los Angeles Times
"'Comedy is hard,' said Steve Martin. For the writers of 'Date Movie', it's apparently impossible."

Jack Mathews: New York Daily News
"Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, who wrote the screenplay, have crammed dozens of movie parodies into this deliberately juvenile spoof of romantic comedies. Mr. Seltzer, who directed, has made very few of them funny."

Anita Gates: The New York Times
"It's kind of amazing that a joke-a-second comedy like Date Movie doesn't contain a single laugh."

Scott Tobias: AV Club
"'Date Movie' is stupefyingly unfunny in its attempts to mock romantic comedies"

Joe Levy: The New York Observer
"'Date Movie' is a good date movie in one sense: If you're still speaking to the person who brought you to see this, you just might have a future together."

Liam Lacey: The Globe and Mail
