Meet the Fockyerdoders, the story of a Pretty Woman who gets Hitched after nearly Losing a Guy in 10 days
Whoah! What a rush! I've just spent 83 minutes of my life trying to identify the movies, music, TV shows and even advertisements spoofed by this stinker. There's a story in there somewhere, about a young white woman of mixed ethnic background who undergoes an extreme makeover to win the bachelor of her dreams, but it's kinda hard to find underneath the pile of gross drivel attempting to pass for humor.Supposedly a spoof on romantic comedies, the movie focuses on Meet the Fockers (another stinker), with supporting gags from Hitch, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Bridget Jones' Diary, Shallow Hal, Wedding Crashers, The Wedding Planner, Sleepless in Seattle, Pretty Woman, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, and When Harry Met Sally, among many, many others.When it's through with the comedies, it takes on Kill Bill, King Kong, The Lord of the Rings, Napoleon Dynamite, The Bird Cage, Dodgeball, the song Milkshake by Kelis, Candy Shop by 50 Cent, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, Michael Jackson, The Bachelor, Pimp My Ride, Paris Hilton, Taco Bell, Best Buy, and even Girls Gone Wild.It would take an expert on pop culture (or a very bored person with a lot of time on their hands) to identify all the parodied and lampooned subjects in this movie, which admittedly has quite a few chuckles, but far too many gross-out scenes are too prolonged to be anything other than mind-blowingly bad moments on film.Consider this movie a pop-culture quiz and see how you fare, but be warned - you'll need to park your good taste at the door, and we can't be held responsible for its safety. Enter at your own risk, and may the farce be with you.Amanda Richards, June 24, 2006
