Sophie Monk Movie:

Date Movie Reviews:
A very, very bad movie
2007-04-11 - I recently witnessed this car crash of a movie. I usually like parodys but this movie was boring and unfunny.

The ads proudly state "From 2 of the 6 writers of Scary Movie". Need another reason not to see it?
2007-04-10 - The writers of this movie thought that referencing dozens of different movies would make a comedy. No. There has to be jokes, funny jokes. There needs to be something humorously said about the original films to make it a satire. I have seen many of the films this movie "spoofs" including Napoleon Dynamite, When Harry Met Sally, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Hitch, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Wedding Planner, Jerry Maguire, Sleepless in Seattle, and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and ALL of them are funnier than Date Movie. It really is pointless to spoof comedies. The writers don't even reference date movies all the time. They reference King Kong, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and it doesn't work. Even the so-so Scary Movie films have something to say about the films they are spoofing. Not only was it terribly unfunny, it was sick. I like Monty Python and American Pie but when a cat starts humping a decayed human torso I draw the line.
The writers of this film also made Epic Movie. I saw Date Movie on DVD. I will not see Epic Movie ever or any other film made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. It is a sad time in our world and an extremely small part of that sadness is the fact that movies like these are made and make millions at the box office.

great
2007-03-18 - I love this movie. Its so funny and it can in great condition.

Goof
2007-01-30 - This film is a spoof of a lot of other films in the same tradition as Not Another Teen Movie and Scary Movie. Only those films have redeeming qualities while the entire existence of this film is one big goof.

Eddie Griffin does a pretty good job considering the bad material he was given; but this movie is just ridiculous.

I only chuckled 4 times:
1. One scene involving a Britney and K-Fed spoof.
2. An Eddie Griffin line when he's spoofing Robert DeNiro from Meet the Parents.
3. When the main male character (I don't even care enough to remember or look up their character names) is parodying Brad Pitt from Mr. and Mrs. Smith during the psychiatry session.
4. During the Hitch spoof, the midget guy is pointing to pictures of all of the celebrity couples he's responsible for putting together even though they are no longer together. e.g. Tom and Nicole, Ben and Jen, Brad and Jen, Matt and Ben, Anne and Ellen, etc.

Bottom Line: Pass; unless you want a movie to laugh AT instead of WITH. But you'll probably be more disgusted than anything.

I don't think I laughed once and afterwards I felt bad for all of humanity
2006-11-23 - This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. The trailer is pretty hilarious but it's a film (and I use the word "film" in its broadest sense) that just doesn't work.

The concept is very funny (mock some of the most popular "Date" movies of the year: Bridget Jones, Meet the Fockers, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Hitch) but mostly I found myself staring blankly at the screen.

I even said aloud (more than once): "Let's just stop watching it, please."

But since we *rented* it I suppose we felt obliged to "get our money's worth".

Seriously though, it was a waste of two hours. Watch the trailer and chuckle. But save yourself and refrain from watching the entire film.

If you're looking for something funny try Monty Python.
