Date Movie

Hopeless romantic Julia Jones, who has finally met the man of her dreams, the very British Grant Fonckyerdoder. But before they can have their "Big Fat Greek Wedding," they'll have to "Meet The Parents," hook-up with "The Wedding Planner," and contend with Grant's friend Andy--a spectacularly beautiful woman who wants to put an end to her "Best Friend's Wedding."

I think the goal of this movie was to see how many movies they could spoof. From Bridget Jones Diary, to When Harry met Sally, to Napoleon Dynamite, to Wedding Planner, to my Best Friend's Wedding, to... you get the idea. I don't think there is a romantic movie made in the past 10 years that wasn't spoofed in some way. Unfortunately, none are spoofed very well. It's the typical humor you'd expect from the Scary Movie crowd except (if this is possible) not even as well done as Scary Movie.

This movie pushes PG-13 to the limit. Sexual dialogue is raunchy and constant and not even redeemably funny. Some side nudity is shown.

In the vein of Not Another Teen Movie, this spoof is not well done at all and hoping to grab a quick buck off of the success of Scary Movie. Don't waste your time.

2.0 out of 5
