Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

You have to be hungry for comedy that's salty and loud, that hits your palate with all the delicacy of hot grease. If you're in that mood, a handful of these jokes will likely be just what you crave.

Date Movie has a nascent sense of the absurd but doesn't know what to do with it.

This is a deeply rubbish film.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

These are sight gags best appreciated with a blindfold.

Bobby Hankinson Boston Globe (Top Critic)

If their goal was to make a spoof film with heart, the end result has an irregular beat at best.

Ben Kenigsberg Village Voice (Top Critic)

It takes a certain gall to pass off mere references as jokes.

Any movie that tries to parody Kill Bill and Dodgeball in the same scene is OK by me.

[Mocks] movies that were much funnier than this one.

Joe Leydon Variety (Top Critic)

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.

The movie sputters along on borrowed gags without improving them.

It's not enough to just make the reference. You've got to make something funny out of the reference.

Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

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.

Dudes, does a spoof count as a spoof if it's dumber and more obvious than the thing it's spoofing?

There's not a single laugh to be had.

Felix Gonzalez Jr. DVD Review

It's loud and obnoxious, but too full of itself to be interesting and not sober enough to be truly offensive. (Unrated)

Anton Bitel Eye for Film

far less smart and often less funny than the films it ridicules.

Ethan Alter Film Journal International

There's nary a laugh to be found in this relentlessly idiotic parody of popular romantic comedies, which manages the difficult feat of seeming overlong at just 80 minutes.

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.

More shocking than hilarious, this spoof of the teensploit genre offers just enough funny moments to earn this critic's seal of approval.

Um filme feito por idiotas com a esperanca de que seus espectadores tambem sejam.
