Four Star Date
I love good Satire. The trend that started with the film Airplane , grew into Police Academy and then Scary movie and now into this film Date MovieI go to these type of movies to see how they can throw in Kill Bill with Shallow Hall and make it work. It steals from all the romantic movies of the last 15 years and makes it FUN. The plotline is thin, but the plot are also thin in Airplane and Scary Movie, it is more a slapstick gag fest.Buffy's Alyson Hannigan is the glue that holds this film together. She seems to have fun with comedy. She does have a flair. To me, this works. Date Movie is a joke a minute piece...of there is a joke that dont get you, there will be another in a few seconds that will.If you are going for great story or great cinema-DONT GET THIS ONE. Sophomoric is a great way to describe any of these satires...from Airplane to this. Its a popcorn film for those who love midnight madness movies. I suggest pair this film with Grandma's Boy (see my review)for a night for entertainmentI think this type of film is like MAD magazine, ITS good for a evening's few laughes and then throw it awayBennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD
