Date Movie
Some friends and I went to see Date Movie last night. While some of the jokes were genuinely funny, most of them were dragged out for way too long. For example: the cat’s toilet monologue, the opening dance number, and the introductory scene for “Andy” could have all been cut down by 75%.
Several of the gags, such as the bum fighting, charred mother’s remains, and zit popping scenes were completely over the line. The writer/directors for these movies need to realize that drilling the humor into the ground isn’t the best way to make audiences laugh. Bring on the subtle humor. Bring on the nuance. Bring on the Knights Who Say Ni!
Sharon: “I feel like I almost got my seven dollars worth.”
Paul: “You paid nine dollars for that ticket.”
Patrick: “I certainly didn’t get nine dollars worth of entertainment.”
Ian: “Is it just me, or are comedies just not as funny these days?”
Emily: “It’s not just you.”
Rating: 2.0/5
