Date Movie

Post by Marlboroprojects »

Just saw this last night. Think I would have gotten a bigger laugh lighting 10 dollars on fire, but maybe that's just me? :?

The problem with this movie is that it is really just a bunch of sight gags strewn together with no real semblence of a plot. At least the Scary Movie series kept the main plot to just a couple of movies, while throwing in the occassional reference to a few others. This movie seemed to go all over the place.

Eddie Griffin's box office appeal seems to be dropping faster than the temperature here in the big apple the last few days. After his last pile of crap, "Duece Bigalow: European Gigalo" & now this I think he'll be going direct to video pretty soon. He plays the father in what I guess was supposed to be a spoof of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" (get it - he's black, but he's playing a Greek. Isn't that hysterical  :roll:).

Other movies spoofed are Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers, Bridget Jones Diary, The Wedding Planner, My Best Friend's Wedding, When Harry Met Sally, Hatch, The TV show The Bachelor, Shallow Hal, Kill Bill, Lord Of The Rings, King Kong, and the list goes on & on.

You'd think that with all this material, the movie would have been a whole lot better. I say save your money & rent the DVD when it comes out if you must see it.

i thought it was funny too.

because a film doesnt have blood and gore in it doesnt mean the film isnt worth seeing.

for those that have heard the theory of the film being a waste of money you can only take their word for it unless you see it for yourself you might find you like it.

plus alison hannigan is hot :lol:

What does having blood and gore have to do with it?  :? Why would anyone see a comedy expecting blood and gore. Maybe you think cause I write reviews of a lot of horror movies that that's all I'm into but you'd be wrong. I thought 2 of the best movies to come out last year were The Wedding Crashers & The 40 Year Old Virgin.

I just didn't think it was either that funny or that good. Toilet humor is fine, I can deal with that but sight gag after sight gag with no semblence of a point to all of it just didn't do it for me. Hopefully Scary Move 4 will be better than this.

the majority of movie goers these days seem to see the blood and gore movies like saw and underworld 2.

thats what my blood and gore statement is about.
