SKIP THIS DATE
There have been a lot of "spoof" movies. These of course are
films that make fun of other movies. Some of the best have been
"Airplane'. 'Hot Shots", and the "Scary Movie" films. Now
playing in theatres is "Date Movie", a really bad . only sometime
funny movie. ALYSON HANNIIGAN. who should not try to carry a film
on her own, plays Janet Jones, a really overweight girl who is
starved for love. The opening scenes of her dancing down the street
trying to flirt and the reaction of the men are some of the few
funny scenes in this straining for a laugh movie. She has all sorts
of disgusting treatments done to her to make her thin and pretty. It
works,sort of. She is interested in a young man and pursues him
and he proposes marriage. They visit a wedding planner, a take off
on Jennifer Lopez, complete with oversize you know what. Janet
meets the best man of her soon to be husband. Only the best man
turns out to be a gilrl, and what a girl, who happens to be an old
flame of his. Ther are elements of "Meet The Parents", "Wedding
Planner' and you name it, it's there. But it isn' very funny.
Trying their best to make something of thi wreck is FRED WILLARD and
EDDIE GRIFFIN. But they can't save a sinking ship. Oh, just for good
measure, they throw in a scene from the new "King Kong". That film
was bad enough on it's own, so did we really need it? This farce
was directed by ARRON SELTZER. Shame on you. SEE YA AT THE
MOVIES CLYDE
