Sexy Movie

I'd imagine that the main reason that people are paying to watch this is because it stars Alyson Hannigan. Well, she's in it, and she makes the most of a thoroughly unchallenging role, but unless you're a total completist, that shouldn't be enough of a reason to waste even 80 minutes of your life on this appalling waste of talent.

What the writer/directors seem to have missed is that if you're going to parody or satirise a scene from a decent movie, you actually have to add something. It's not sufficient to just throw a bunch of stolen scenes together in the hope that the conjunction will generate humour by itself. I honestly could not see one - not ONE - original thought or idea or line in the script or direction. That in itself is something of an achievement. The whole thing plays like it was scripted by teenagers, and not teenagers from the top end of the grade curve.

In fact, I have to wonder if this films is deliberately aimed at the lowest common denominator. If so, it missed by several yards to the south.

This won't be a long review, as this movie doesn't warrant much more than a warning not to waste your money on it. I'm not sure how a movie so god-awful can make it to screen, but my faith in the system has been shaken. The film isn't funny, I'm not sure if it tries to be or not, but it's not. It references other movies (Meet the Parents, When Harry met Sally etc.) but doesn't really spoof them. This was the biggest problem I believe, as it doesn't have any semblance of flow or sense. Random scenes pop up, trying to get a laugh by basically reenacting the scene, not exaggerating it or making fun of it. I managed to sit through House of the Dead, but this film actually made me angry it was so unfunny. Please skip it, have one of your friends go see it instead and then ask about it. If they don't knock your teeth out for setting them up to lose money and 90 minutes of their life, then you can go see it yourself.

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.

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?

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.
