Product: Date Movie [UMD for PSP] (2006)
Rating: 2.0
It's Just Not Funny
What little plot there is to "Date Movie" is lost under a sea of unfunny and constant spoofs of other films. From "Napoleon Dynamite" to "Hitch" to "Star Wars," this Alyson Hannigan vehicle is overloaded with poor references to other films. Heck, it goes so far as to spoof Paris Hilton commercials and "Girls Gone Wild."It starts out rather bland, with a rather large (think Gwyneth Paltrow from "Shallow Hal") and lonely Hannigan looking for Mr. Right. Her father, played by Eddie Griffin, is determined to find a husband for her, no matter what his station in life is. Desperate, Hannigan goes to a "Hitch"-like man (Tony Cox) who helps her drop the pounds and eventually hook-up with a British dude who's just perfect. Of course, a jealous ex ("My Best Friend's Wedding") pops onto the scene and tries to steal Hannigan's man. From there, we're treated to nothing but bad spoofs of just about every film made within the last two decades.As the review title states, this film just isn't funny. Only Eddie Griffin and Tony Cox made me laugh a little. Hannigan just can't carry a film like this on her own. She needs back-up, fast.Not recommended. If you want spoof flicks, check out the "Naked Gun" flicks. Heck, pick up "Hot Shots" for something funnier than this bomb.
