WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
benjaminweber This film reduced me to tears. I felt sad and nauseous throughout its awful run-time, with thoughts of how far away I am from my family constantly streaming through my head. I usually reserve 1 star for so-bad-it's-good films, but this film truly deserves nothing more. It is a soul-destroying wreck of a film, that feels far longer than its 82 minute length would suggest. Avoid like the plague, even if that means exposing yourself to the actual plague.
Python Hyena Date Movie (2006): Dir: Aaron Seltzer / Cast: Alyson Hannigan, Adam Campbell, Eddie Griffin, Tony Cox, Jennifer Coolidge: Vulgar satire of romances such as My Best Friends Wedding, Bridget Jones's Diary, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Napoleon Dynamite, Wedding Crashers, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Wedding Planner, Hitch, What Women Want, and King Kong to name a few. Starring Alyson Hannigan as a fat waitress who is transformed into a looker and matched up with a potential date. Obviously inspired by the success of Scary Movie and Not Another Teen Movie. Director Aaron Seltzer proves to know the date movie clichés and exploits them. The premise works but story is standard fare. Hannigan is perfect as the hopeless waitress yearning for love. Adam Campbell plays a good foil as the potential Mr. Right. Their relationship is standard and predictable but they have superb comic chemistry. Eddie Griffin is hilarious as Hannigan's father in a jab at There's Something About Mary. Tony Cox plays the progressive Hitch but it is a one joke performance and the Will Smith reference is of little amusement. Jennifer Coolidge is another fine comic talent often ushered into these films and she will always be funnier in American Pie as Stifler's mom. Whether one wishes to share this film with a date doesn't divert the fact that it knows the clichés. Score: 6 ½ / 10
michaelhirakida Listen here you little #@$%heads, Just because you think the writers made a bad movie doesn't me you should give them death threats. I would slap all of you but its unfortunate that I cannot. Friedberg and Seltzer are not perfect directors in any means, but I think they're movies are funny. VERY, VERY funny. Very few people are afraid to talk about movies like this because if they say they like it their opinion is silenced with death threats. Stop being ignorant you guys. This movie is not hilarious by any means but it is funny in some parts.Julia Jones is a overweight Greek, Indian, Japanese Jew who works at her parent's Greek restaurant. She meets the perfect man and becomes beautiful later on. They plan to get married but will her farther approve of this and will another woman get in the way? The Casting for this film was the start of casting the same people in all of their movies. Tony Cox, Adam Campbell and Carmen Electra are most of the people who show up in these kinds of movies.Friedberg and Seltzer prove that you don't need good jokes to make a good movie. You can have good and bad jokes as well to make a good movie. I love slapstick in these type of movies because they work so well. For me that is, because my taste in comedy is different then everyone Else's. One of my favorite jokes is the beginning of the film where Julia dances on the street to get a man but fails and falls flat.But the second half and third act of this film isn't quite that funny. Sure there is a laugh here and there but its not like there are so many at once. I guess they were being more serious with this movie then any of they're other parodies.Date Movie is not perfect by any means necessary. But it is funny for me. By the way, Im going to be reviewing all of their films. So you just stay tuned for the same stuff! 79/100 B
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain It isn't a spoof, it's just a repeat of many better films. It's quite disgusting how far these movies have come. It can't even stay within it's own parameters, suddenly "spoofing" Pimp My Ride and other TV shows. It's an embarrassing film to be caught in and luckily Hannigan escaped to greener pastures. Campbell is actually a rather good actor, and he doesn't let on how bad he must know the film is. He puts in a lot of effort to something that is overall crap. The most telling scene of spastic stupidity comes from the Meet the Parents scene. It takes the jokes FROM that film and repeats them in exaggerated ways that suck out all of the humour.
