"I knew something was wrong with 'Date Movie' when a cat puppet with nasty flatulence received the film's biggest laugh."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
A. J. Hakari
"far less smart and often less funny than the films it ridicules."

"It's just February, and we've already found a film worse than
BloodRayne.
I didn't think it would happen that fast, but here we are."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"Alyson Hannigan deserves better. In fact, we all deserve better than DATE MOVIE, a slow-witted assembly of every date movie joke we've already seen."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1/5
"Get it? It's just like that one scene you saw in that one movie, but with poop!"

David Cornelius
1.5/4
"...as terrible and slipshod a film as one could ever imagine..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
1.5/4
"Poor Alyson Hannigan somehow retains her dignity throughout, even in the face of ridicule and material that couldn't have seemed good on the page, let alone during shooting."

"This would-be spoof of romantic comedies falls prey to the misconception -- common in modern American humor -- that to make reference to something is the same thing as parodying it."
EricDSnider.com
Eric D. Snider
"It's loud and obnoxious, but too full of itself to be interesting and not sober enough to be truly offensive. (Unrated)"
DVD Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
0.5/4
"It’s painful."
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
1.5/4
"Basically, this drawn-out vehicle is the equivalent of a defective whoopie cushion without the funny sounds...plays like a string of cheesy late night sketches."
Movie Eye

"Calling it ghastly would be an act of kindness toward this woefully unfunny take-off on the cliches of Hollywood romantic comedies."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
4/10
"Lower your expectations or drink a lot before you watch it."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
3/5
"Leave your brain at the ticket desk and
Date Movie
will likely appeal. Bring it with you and you may as well have stayed at home."
FilmFocus
Joe Utichi
1.0/4.0
"Looting the key scenes and plot points of hit movies is the bread and butter of spoof comedies, but the script for
Date Movie
is about as funny as dry white toast."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
2.5/5
"It might make you laugh. Just don't go if you want to think. You could really hurt yourself."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1.5/4
"You'd be much better off watching any of the films that
Date Movie
parodies than you would be watching this one."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
C-
"This thing doesn't have a script. It has a year's worth of "In Touch Magazine" thrown into a blender with some crotch humor and a joke about beating up a homeless man as a way to spend a romantic evening."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
1.5/4
"The whole thing unravels like a long night of Trivial Pursuit."
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
0/5
"The American moviegoing audience is, by and large, made up of deranged howler monkeys."
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
1/5
"While the premise of a gross-out spoof of such movies may sound like a good idea in theory, it doesn’t make a lot of sense in practice."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
1.5/5
"The filmmakers don't seem to know when to cut a gag short and get on with things--every joke is stretched to the point where it ceases to be funny anymore."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
1.5/5
"The kind of spoof that doesn't so much "poke fun" at its targets as it does "lazily reference" them."
DVD Clinic
Scott Weinberg
1/10
"As an entertainment consumer reporter, I can save you money right now. Don't by a ticket to see this movie! It's only February but it's a contender for one of 2006's Worst."
