Surprisingly a Good Parody Movie
I wasn't expecting much at all but this is surprisingly one of the better of the recent parody movies. Alyson Hannigan shows she has some real comedic talent. I love her as Lily in How I met Your Mother but she doesn't get to show just how funny she is, especially with physical comedy such as wearing the fat suit in this one. She's long been the sidekick in movies and other TV shows as well such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer but shows with this she can play the leading role. I hope she keeps making How I Met Your Mother but I hope she gets more opportunities like this to be the leading comedy actor in future projects as she has talent I'd never realised she had before.Some of the films this movie parodies scenes from are, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Pretty Woman, When Harry Met Sally, What Women Want, Kill Bill, Dodge Ball, Hitch, Shallow Hal, Book of Fate, Jerry Mcguire, Wedding Crashers, Mr and Mrs Smith, Lord of the Rings and King Kong.The parody character of Jinx the cat (from Meet the Parents) steals this movie though, watch it for his appearances alone.
