In an exciting story that looks quite different, with that story about Julia Jones. Julia is overweight, so she looks very unhappy and often lonely. While Julia and Julia are next to her parents, she thinks she will always be alone. But over time, the boy meets her dreams of Grant Fockyerdoder. On the day before the wedding day of their dreams, parents must meet with each other and stay through Julia's scheme which looks completely different.
You have to be hungry for comedy that's salty and loud, that hits your palate with all the delicacy of hot grease. If you're in that mood, a handful of these jokes will likely be just what you crave.
The targets here are Hollywood's bubbleheaded romantic comedies, but director Aaron Setzer (who co-wrote the script with Jason Friedling) doesn't satirize the genre's familiar tropes so much as merely re-stage familiar scenes.
This crass drag of a dud at best manages to elicit just a couple of half-hearted chuckles over the course of its 80-minute allotment.

It's kind of amazing that a joke-a-second comedy like Date Movie doesn't contain a single laugh, but what's there has been so thoroughly focus-grouped and market-tested that no joy escapes the vacuum.

far less smart and often less funny than the films it ridicules.
