Date Movie, a review by Jimmy

Title : Date Movie (2006)

Overview
Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan from the 'American Pie' series) is looking for love in ALL the wrong movies, until she snags the man of her dreams! But now, a devious ex, a farting feline and eccentric in-laws threaten her perfect Hollywood wedding!

My Impression
I was expecting something way more bad than that after all I've read about those movies, but this is only the beginning. Not that this movie is good or funny or subtil in any way... Most of the "jokes" are juvenile at best, how someone who is more than 8 years old can find the cat joke funny? How original or funny is the beginning? Shallow Hall had already done it... This is a parody not a remake so do a short reference and get over it, no need to pass 20 minutes on this. Maybe it's just me, but since when comedy are parody materials? Did I miss something? Another thing; when you make a joke don't overkill it... One obvious case when they do this is when they introduce the sexy blond girl (not that sexy by the way)... None of the jokes were that funny at least for me, only the Pretty Woman reference gave me a little smile. In fact the only time I've laugh is at the joke at the end credit (kind of lame when your best joke is in the credit). At least Alyson Hannigan is a cutie, but why she is only in stupid movie like this or American Pie? She can do better than that... Some of the song are good even if they are wasted in this.

Not necessary a waste of time or a waste of money (.88$ isn't that much, I can't even buy a chocolate bar with that), but not something that I will rewatch even for the commentary tracks or the extra materials.

This is a movie I have on a Triple Feature DVD release called Gritty Horror Tales. Basically the story of a mother going psycho on her children during a bad case of postpartum depression. For the most part I liked the movie a lot... but there is one downfall for me here. And unfortunately it is a pretty big downfall. I just didn't care about any of the characters. This did take away from the film some. Other then that... the intensity of the story was good. It kept my interest through-out once it got started. Though the first about 20 minutes is a bit slow. Over-all the movie is worth watching.
