Date Movie
Director: Jason Friedberg
Starring: Adam Campbell, Allyson Hannigan, Eddie Griffin
Details: US, 83mins, 15A.
Spoof movies used to spoof serious films: Airplane! spoofed Airport and other disaster movies, The Naked Gun series spoofed film noir, while Hot Shots spoofed Top Gun and Rambo. But when The Date Movie spoofs a comedy (in this case Meet The Fockers, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, etc.), surely the point has been lost and people are running out of ideas fast. With Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood, Not Another Teen Movie and Scary Movie 1, 2 and 3 (with part 4 winging its way over here soon), we're snowed under with this drivel, and when you are reduced to spoofing crap like Meet The Fockers, maybe it's time to call it a day. Like Big Momma's House 2, the old jokes are unhooked from their life support, helped into their wheelchair and pushed around again. Here we get fart jokes, smelly breath and, everyone's favourite, the big knickers joke (if anyone laughed at 'Fonckyerdoder', they'll love this).
