Vortex Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 OK...rented this flop tonight via my movies on demand thing because I was bored and figured it would be a great laugh.. not so much.. In all great parody movies they try to get the movies tied with the theme...and as much as possilbe.. here are the movies i picked up that they were doing parodies of; (the major plotlines) Shallow Hal My big fat greek wedding Hitch Miss Congeniality Meet the Fockers 50 first dates When harry met sally Bridget Jones diary The Wedding Planner Pretty Woman My Best Friends Wedding (the cameos) Lord of the rings Paris Hilton Burger King Commercial Mr & Mrs Smith What women want Dodge Ball Kill Bill Say Anything How to loose a guy in 10 days Sleepless in seattle Notting Hill Wedding crashers King Kong There are some really good funny parts to this movie....(such as Jennifer Coolidge doing a parody of Barbara Strisand as the mom in "meet the fockers"...brilliant!) but for the most part the movie was dull and predictable. Furthermore the parts that you couldnt predict were stupid because there was no leading up to what was going on.... Here inlies the problem with this movie to a major extent. In my opinion this movie was doomed from the beginning because they are doing a huge parody on comedy movies (or more exact...Romantic Comedies). To make fun of a scene that is already funny just doenst work all the time....unless its a sketch comedy on tv that takes 3 minutes to get its message accross....But this was an hour and half movie...making fun of comedy scenes. So most of the scenes just werent funny...or only "kinda" funny. Several scenes made no sense...(especially the king kong thing at the end...that was just dumb)... Its worth seeing to see a scene or two..but as a whole its a worthelss movie...B rated at best...Download it...dont buy it...or rent it if you have nothing else to do and cant find anything else to watch! In conclusion...the advertising that sais "two out of the 6 (if thats correct) writers for scary movie" wrote this film...the 4 that didnt write it should be proud..because the scary movie series is brilliant and funny. Dont parody comedy scenes because its a good bet you cant improve on it.... I love the scary movie series..the date movie was a total disaster!!! Enjoy!!

How can your opinion be the correct one....if, infact, its only an opinion?!?!

Anna Perenna Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I knew from the first scene that this film would suck. Her running around in the street being a stupid fat shit, for some reason, just didn't do it for me. Hopefully Epic Movie will be halfway decent, but from the looks of the previews, it is going to be just as bad. The only good parody movies are the Scream movies, Scary Movie I (not 2 or 3) anything with Leslie Nielsen in it, and Not Another Teen Movie, which was actually pretty funny. p.s. Meet the Fockers sucked! Quote _______________________________________________________ I don't know how to put this, but ...

eddo Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Hot Shots has always been one of my favorite spoof movies. Airplane & Naked Gun are classics, and Spy Hard wasn't to bad. I thought Scary Movie 1 sucked, and haven't seen the others. Might eventually see Epic Movie, but not in any hurry for it once I heard it was from the same people that did Date Movie. Quote I'm trusted by more women.

Oops - Hot Shots I and II are both on my list of favourites, I just forgot them. I'd better pay homage to Space Balls, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon, and Flying High, too. p.s. Have you seen Mafia? There is one scene that makes the whole film worthwhile. Quote _______________________________________________________ I don't know how to put this, but ...
