Avis à la une
This is probably the most reviewed title among those I really felt like writing about, but still I think it can go with yet another mini-essay on how bad it was.
Being in a mood for something light and hearing "there's something about a funny fat girl on TV" i sat down to watch. For a reason unknown I thought about an original story about a fat girl who finds happiness or something like that. However, the fat girl was replaced with a thin girl, paired with a boy and a collection of unrelated idiotic scenes followed.
The supposed meaning behind these unrelated scenes was a parody of scenes from all well known American date movies. The problem is that date movies are often referred to as "romantic comedies" and you really can't make a comedy being a parody of a comedy. Funny turned into "funnier" results in RETARDED and romantic/erotic element made into "funny" becomes GROSS.
The cross-references to popular date movies are possible to grasp only if you remember a particular scene from this or that comedy. There is no parody of the style or genre, but only situations and gestures are copied from scenes from other movies and put in a different context or more precisely, into non-context. Every scene seems more pointless and less funny than another. Even if you are not a demanding viewer, in a mood for something silly, enjoying toilet humor and soft porn from time to time you may not be able to watch the whole of it. In my opinion to switch it off during a cat's attempt at sexual activity with a dried human corpse is already a few scenes too far. The question remains: when would YOU switch it off?

My friends and I went into this movie expecting something along the lines of a dumb but funny movie like "Scary Movie" or "Not another Teen Movie".
Sad to say, this was the worst movie I've seen since the beginning of 2005. DO NOT see this movie and DO NOT believe the advertisements for this movie as those scenes were the best parts of the film. I admit, I laughed during the Napoleon Dynamite skit, but that was probably the only funny scene in the whole film.
This film is stupid, but not stupid in a funny way. It is stupid in an EXTREMELY boring way. The only (barely) entertaining parts of the movie were in the first 10 minutes. The rest of it was filler as the scriptwriter probably ran out of dumb ideas.
I, along with probably most of the audience, felt like leaving on the spot. This is a bad film with no redeeming features.

Are you short for cash, Alyson? Is that why your beautifal face had to be seen on screen in this joke of a parody movie? I went to this movie with high expectations. I mean very high. I am a sucker for the parody genre. Ever since The Naked Gun films and Airplane!, Wrongfully Accused, Spy Hard, Scary Movie.. I've been a nut for these types of movies. So why was this one so bad? I can't really explain.. I saw all the movies they parodied, and still.. it just wasn't funny. I am absolutely in love with Alyson Hannigan. She's a very beautifal and very talented actress. Eddie Griffin is one of the funniest comedians to grace the silver screen in years. And please, Lil' Jon is in the movie! What's not to like? Well, the fact that basically, a lot of the parodies were just word for word retellings of some of the movies. The dinner scene was an ENTIRE ripoff of the Meet the Parents scene to a t. This movie tries too hard to be funny, and at sometimes its okay (the Pimp My Ride scene comes to mind), but honestly.. it just tries too hard and doesn't go anywhere. I can't say I was disappointed, it was beyond that. If there's a sequel to this atrocious comedy I'll eat my hat.
I'm glad I saw this movie for free, because I would not dish out $2 to see it. The acting is horrible and the parodies of the other movies are not done well. I don't think I laughed more than twice the entire movie, and even those were small chuckles. The soundtrack used in the movie is comprised of simply played out songs that have appeared in many movies already. Even though the point of the movie was to have shocking plot twists by referencing various pop culture ideas and movies, the movie was completely predictable at all times. The only thing that kept me watching this movie was Alyson Hannigan herself.
Save your money on this one.

The fact that this movie was allowed to advance past the "script writing" stage is beyond me.
If I could vote it 0, believe me I would. Watching paint dry would be a more cultural experience.
They actually re-created scenes from existing comedy movies & virtually did them note for note. Can somebody explain the word parody to the film makers???
Some of the acting was quite good, it's just a shame that they had so little to work with to be able to assist with making this pile of junk watchable.
