First we had Scary Movie (and a number of sequels) and now we have Date Movie, a spoof of just about every modern romantic movie, utilising the same over-the-top formula.

Of course being a romantic comedy spoof, the crass sexual innuendos are everywhere, and the real laughs are few and far between.

The basic plot goes a little like this: Young female waitress dreams of being in love, meets the man of her dreams, but has to overcome every single clichéd obstacle in her way to be with her true love. Yadayadaayad, predictable as hell.

To be fair though, it’s not really my type of humour (in case you hadn’t already picked that up) and it does the crass humour genre rather well, so if you like the Scary Movie franchise or Meet The Parents type movies, you’ll probably love Date Movie.

If on the other hand you’re like me, and enjoy more subtle comedy, you’ll be finding your own fun through playing the guessing-the-movie-scene-that-they’re-ripping-off game.

Food for thought:
Is it worth going through hell, just to be with your true love?
