Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

In Date Movie, the hormones, anxiety, and princess jealousy that fuel the majority of Hollywood love stories are made so excessive that the romance itself is revealed to be...every bit as big a crock as it usually is.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Bobby HankinsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Date Movie has enough laughs to make rambunctious dudes hoot and holler, but not nearly enough to ensure the happy ending it promises.Read the full review

The New York Times | Anita GatesAdd Critic to Favorites

Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, who wrote the screenplay, have crammed dozens of movie parodies into this deliberately juvenile spoof of romantic comedies. Mr. Seltzer, who directed, has made very few of them funny.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

San Francisco Chronicle | Ruthe SteinAdd Critic to Favorites

Variety | Joe LeydonAdd Critic to Favorites

Arguably the lamest of all the free-wheeling genre parodies that have taken flight since "Airplane!," Date Movie is stupefyingly unfunny in its attempts to mock romantic comedies, celebrities, reality TV shows and anything else that pops into the heads of its creators.Read the full review

The only thing remotely resembling parody in this depressing waste of time and money is Jennifer Coolidge's sendup of Barbra Streisand as an over-the-top string of Jewish mother clichés.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Michael RechtshaffenAdd Critic to Favorites

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.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Scott TobiasAdd Critic to Favorites

It's kind of amazing that a joke-a-second comedy like Date Movie doesn't contain a single laugh.Read the full review
