Rating: 4.0
Oh, for God's sake, calm down...
This movie isn't half as bad as people make it out to be. Of course, it's dumb: it was meant to be that way. If you want a supposedly-clever-but-it's-actually-a-really-boring-comedy-made-for-anal-retentive-intellectuals kind of film, then of course, you're better off renting some other boring film such as Thumbsucker (can't believe it was labelled a comedy, I practically had to tape my eyelids to keep 'em open through the whole thing, but I digress). I'm not particularly fond of the Scary Movie franchise, as most of the time, I don't even know what movie they are spoofing. But Date Movie is cute, and while the spoofs are very obvious, I still think they are fun. I'm not one to give a movie a bad review simply because it's dumb; I think a dumb comedy is like junk food: if you have it just once in a while, it can't hurt you. Of course it's not a great movie, there are thousands of better satires out there. But I also think that they are tons of worse and less funny movies too.
