Well Deserved Praise

Boring

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Is it absolutely ridiculous and tasteless? Well yes, but allow your immature side to have a little fun. It may be because I watched it by myself as a young teen that this movie holds its glee for me but I still laughed really hard and had a good time when I saw it again more recently (6-8 years later). Don't go into the movie expecting something sophisticated or classy and you can have a good laugh. Also it is fun to watch out for all the references to other movies (since it is a spoof movie after all.) Also props to the two main actors Allison Hannigan and Adam Campell for being the ones that truly make this movie comical.

In an age where cinema is bogged down with lighthearted fare like 12 Years a Slave and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, comes a refreshingly original exploration of what it means to be one of the feline species. I feel sincerely that the director and writers should be extremely proud of taking on such a difficult topic with such aplomb, to say nothing of the fantastic cast, who breathe rich life into such well rounded characters.But really, the star of this piece is Jinxers. For too long have felines been forced to live in the shadow of their canine cousins. Often portrayed as ruthless, evil creatures hellbent on world domination. Finally, thanks to a shrewd script we witness the true side of the cat world. Intelligence, creativity and sexual prowess.To say that the feline defecation scene exemplifies cinematic art at it's finest would be an understatement. Creatively shot, it carefully depicts the skill and mental ability that cats bring to this world. With deft scripting we are able to witness a side of the feline not previously shown on celluloid. For too long have bigots trodden the cat name into the ground with falsehoods about litter boxes and small piles of faeces in the gardens of fellow neighbours. Finally the truth is revealed.At a time when Oscar nominations are going to such hacks as Robert De Niro, Jinxers executes his role perfectly. With subtle movement and flare he conveys the emotional trauma of cat crappery. People have dared to suggest to me that Jinxers is, in fact, animatronic. How offensive. Such a skilled performance could only be accomplished by such a fine thespian and people should miss his work at their peril.This movie is an unrequited masterpiece and I am appalled that this ever shallow world of low brows and Daniel Day Lewises more people are unable to recognise such fine artistry.

This movie is not as good as the Scary Movie spoofs, but better than for instance Epic Movie. Date Movie is also a sublime masterpiece compared to Pearl Harbor, the most horrifically bad movie in the history and future of the entire Universe.I read a few of the other reviews before I watched the movie, and I felt that the general opinion (and rating) of this movie is a little too harsh. It really isn't *that* bad.Movies like this are generally made as super light comedies: a series of sketches rather than a movie with a plot. That is what you should expect, and if you want more you will just be disappointed.If you are looking for something to stimulate your intellectuality, then perhaps you should try books instead? May I suggest philosophy, or perchance mathematics?If you are looking for ~80 minutes of light humor and a story you barely have to pay attention to, and you enjoyed the Scary Movie series, then this should be a decent choice. I laughed a few times through it. :)

In 2006, the public was introduced to Aaron Seltzer's newest parody comedy film, "Date Movie." The parodies include such hits as "Hitch", "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Meet the Parents." The film stars Alyson Hannigan of "American Pie" fame and Eddie Griffin as her Greek father. In a series of parodies, "Date Movie" is essentially a romantic-comedy of sorts where the girl falls in love with the guy, meets his parents, and they get married. The best parodies are that of "Napoleon Dynamite" towards the end of the film and a parody of Owen Wilson's broken nose.As funny as a film as it is, many critics agreed that it was the bottom of the barrel of films released in 2006. I would have to give this film a 5 of 10!! It could have been better.
