"Date Movie" is from two of the six writers of "Scary Movie", and is a spoof of romantic comedies. Apparently, they chose two of the worst writers from "Scary Movie", because the movie falls flat more often than it works. Alyson Hannigan is Julia Jones, the fat girl looking for Mr. Right. Hannigan deserves a better role -- she can be funny, but the material she has to work with is less than stellar. She does what she can, but it is not enough to make "Date Movie" work. The supporting cast of Adam Campbell (the boyfriend), Eddie Griffin (the dad), and Jennifer Coolidge and Fred Willard (the boyfriend's parents do not add much to the film either. "Date Movie" does manage to be pretty gross at times for a PG-13 movie, but that is not really a selling point either. This will be enjoyed by some, but only mildly. It is not awful, but it is far from great. Wait for the DVD if you must see it.
