The glorious Hollywood institution of the
romantic comedy gets raked over the coals in this broad
parody of any number of boy-meets-girl flicks.
Julia Jones (
Alyson Hannigan) is a young woman who wants nothing more than to find the man of her dreams and settle down. However,
Julia has a rather serious weight problem that prevents her from making a positive impression on people. Determined to find love at all costs,
Julia somehow drops the weight and meets
Grant Fonckyerdoder (
Adam Campbell), a handsome and charming Englishman who falls head over heels for her.
Julia and
Grant waste no time in setting the date, but until they make their way to the altar they have to deal with meddling parents, flaky wedding planners, fights over the right wedding dress, vertically challenged romantic advisors, and
Andy (
Sophie Monk), a longtime friend of
Grant, who isn't so happy to hear he's getting hitched. Also featuring
Fred Willard,
Jennifer Coolidge,
Eddie Griffin, and
Tony Cox,
Date Movie was written and directed by
Jason Friedberg and
Aaron Seltzer, proudly billed as "two of the six writers of
Scary Movie."
