	Stale gags and silly spoofs make this one cheap 'Date' - The Boston Globe
		Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are two of the many writers behind the Wayans brothers' ''Scary Movie" franchise, which made fun of the horror genre in all its gory glory.
		The two go it alone with ''Date Movie," and if their goal was to make a spoof film with heart, the end result has an irregular beat at best.
		Seltzer and Friedberg rely on the usual melange of frat-boy humor and pop-culture references in an effort to lampoon romantic comedies.

	RTE.ie Entertainment - Date Movie (15A)
		Directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, starring Alyson Hannigan, Adam Campbell, Jennifer Coolidge, Eddie Griffin, Fred Willard and Sophie Monk.
		Firstly, the writers ("two of the six writers of 'Scary Movie'", according to the tagline) Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have questionable pedigrees.
		When 'Airplane!' plucked scenes from little-known B-movie 'Zero Hour', it was in the knowledge that such badly written and ham-acted rubbish could be made into effective comedy by the merest of tweaks.

	Date Movie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Date Movie is a 2006 spoof of romantic comedies directed and written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, two of the writers of the first Scary Movie.
		The scene where Carmen Electra's character gets her clothes ripped was based on censored (but subsequently reinstated) footage from the original King Kong.
		Also, Electra gets her clothes ripped in the beginning Scary Movie, in which Friedberg and Seltzer also wrote the beginning.

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - Date Movie
		Crudely sophomoric sendup of recent popular romantic comedies barely held together by a perfunctory plot involving the upcoming wedding of a formerly obese waitress (Alyson Hannigan) to the man of her dreams (Adam Campbell), a wedding that the latter's seductive ex-flame (Sophie Monk) threatens to sabotage.
		Following in the genre-skewering footprints of "Scary Movie," directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer spoof such films as "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "Hitch" and "My Best Friend's Wedding," among others, in a nonstop barrage of vulgar, interminably adolescent and unfunny sight gags that test the limits of its PG-13 rating.

	Top Box Office Movies - Date Movie
		Certainly, Date Movie screenwriters Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (who also directed this silly-minded dud) cannot be mentioned in the same breath as these effective moviemaking satirists.
		In culinary arts analogy, Brooks and the Zuckers are to the comical richness of a hearty roast beef lunch whereas the Friedberg/Seltzer collaboration are to the mere luster of a half-eaten, stale bologna sandwich.
		But for the most part, Seltzer and his cohort Friedberg lazily serves up the referenced source of ridicule without fortifying their irreverent bits with any comprehensible gusto.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Date Movie: Unrated Edition
		Writer-director Aaron Seltzer proves just how tough the parody genre can be in Date Movie (2006) by not only summoning barely enough gags to populate a 75-min.
		The picture is essentially a short film padded to feature-length by Seltzer's excruciating proclivity for drawing out decent throwaway gags for minutes-on-end until the sheer unfunniness of the execution overwhelms the conceptual promise, if any.
		Also on board are 12 deleted/extended/alternate scenes, extended dailies, interviews with cast members about their own dating histories, an actually amusing "making-of" spoof of Peter Jackson's incessant self-documentation, audition tapes, a reduction of the entire movie into six minutes, an optional (very optional) laugh track, and several trailers and other promotional items.

	BBC - Guernsey - Entertainment - Date Movie
		Brought to you by "two of the six writers" of Scary Movie (Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer), it's another jumble of throwaway skits that'll have you gritting your teeth in embarrassment more often than Ben Stiller in yet another rom-com.
		For the opening gambit she gyrates in a jiggling fat suit, which is the first sure sign that Friedberg and Seltzer are lean on ideas.
		Friedberg and Seltzer tend to flog a joke to death JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GET IT, like Campbell going blue in the face trying to outdo Meg Ryan in the faked orgasm stakes.

		When Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer co-wrote the Scary Movie films they only spoofed scary/horror movies in them.
		She sees Grant at the restaurant when she is overweight, gets a makeover for him, blah blah blah--you know the deal.
		But that’s what Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are aiming for and they hit the nail on the head.

		The twisted minds of two of the six writers of SCARY MOVIE — Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg — skewer the romantic comedy genre in DATE MOVIE, a film for people who love date movies and people who hate them.
		Seltzer and Friedberg tell the story of hopeless romantic Julia Jones, who has finally met the man of her dreams, the very British Grant Funkyerdoder.
		The duo sold their first “spoof” screenplay, SPY HARD, just out of college, and a few years later they contributed to the screenplay for the box-office smash SCARY MOVIE.

	Date Movie Listing at Box Office Prophets
		And so it is that the men who created the Scary Movie spoofs and Leslie Nielsen's Spy Hard have determined that the moment is ripe for a spoof of all such things.
		Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer will try to duplicate their past success in these projects by directing and writing the film.
		Given the success that Friedberg and Seltzer have had in the past, if their spoof is well-marketed, it does have a great shot at breaking out and capturing the attention of a crowd that might just be weary of all the formula.

	Date Movie \| The A.V. Club
		And since it's for everyone, its strung-together movie parodies have to be so head-slappingly obvious that no one could possibly miss the joke.
		As with the Scary Movie series—of which Date Movie director Aaron Seltzer and co-writer Jason Friedberg are chief perpetrators—the result is a comedy that congratulates its audience for getting references to movies that made over $200 million.
		The answer is, "You don't," but Seltzer and Friedberg forge ahead anyway by stealing jokes from other movies and taking them to the outer limits of anti-hilarity.

	Movie Review - Date Movie - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		This would-be spoof of romantic comedies, written and directed by two of the "Scary Movie" writers (Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer), falls prey to the misconception -- common in modern American humor -- that to make reference to something is the same thing as parodying it.
		For example, there's a scene where two women, rivals for the same man's affections, appear in costumes from "Kill Bill," with the same music playing in the background.
		Now, I'm guessing Friedberg and Seltzer referred to that scene around the set as "the 'Kill Bill' parody." But it's not a parody.

		The only thing the movie can be credited with is finding a reasonable way to squeeze in its spectrum of ripe targets, in this first parody film aimed specifically at chick flicks.
		But the actual jokes penned by Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg aren't the least bit skillful.
		It's sad that two members of Christopher Guest's troupe of sublime parodists, Fred Willard and Jennifer Coolidge, have lowered themselves to appear in this abomination, even if their Meet the Fockers riffs on Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand are the "best" parts of the movie.

		And as the parody film has progressively gotten worse—The Naked Gun series and maybe the first Hot Shots being seen more favorably—it has spawned a cottage industry of enterprising young writers out to make a quick buck and even quicker product.
		To be sure, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the writer-director tandem behind Date Movie, have cut their teeth in the industry; both served as writers on Spy Hard and the Scary Movie franchise.
		Not resting on their laurels, though, they’ve already sold scripts for future projects.

		Directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer can't stage comedy, can't write jokes, lack imagination, and extend scenes beyond the point of tolerance.
		This tendency goes back to the craftsmanship issue.
		Friedberg and Seltzer are unable to find enough inspiration within the genre they satirize, so they go looking for ideas elsewhere, preferably from recent hits in order to sucker us into thinking they stumbled onto something clever.

		As a spoof of romantic comedies, Date Movie is nothing more that a string of tasteless and unfunny skits.
		"Friedberg and Seltzer’s philosophy seems to be — make fun of other movies first, worry about our own movie second.
		"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."

		The wisp of a story involves fat girl Julia Jones, played by Alyson Hannigan, who quickly becomes as thin and pretty as she was in the American Pie movies and on TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
		You'll lose count how many movie references writer/directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer throw in her path as she searches for true love in a world gone mad.
		Hitch, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Meet the Fockers, King Kong, Lord of the Rings, When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Kill Bill, are just a few of the movies that get unkindly homage.
