Julia Jones is a lonely obese woman looking
for love. Working at her parent’s restaurant, she serves coffee to a beautiful
man and she is smitten with him, but, when her back is turned, he disappears.
Desperate and feeling ugly, she sees a consultant, Hitch, who convinces her to
go through a physical transformation, Pimp My Ride style, and then be a
contestant on The Extreme Bachelor. The Bachelor is the same guy she saw at the
restaurant, and they fall in love. But, when the families get together, all
hell breaks loose.
Date Movie is one of many spoof films put
together to poke fun at various cinema genres. Here, as you will probably
guess, we are talking about romantic comedies. Among the movies being spoofed
in this 2006 comedy are: My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Hitch,
Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Napoleon Dynamite and Wedding Crashers.
Unfortunately, there is nothing really
memorable about Date Movie. A decent cast of talented comic actors was
assembled, but the material they were given was absolutely putrid. There is a
way to make toilet humor funny, but the makers of this film sure did not find
it. Skip this one, folks, unless you are starved for punishment.
