NOT AS BAD AS I FEARED, BUT STILL... 4.5 OUT OF 10
Added 8/12/2009
I was still willing to give this film a chance, even after seeing the abomination called Disaster Movie (Unrated Widescreen), from the talentless hacks Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (They need to be banned from making films). While Date Movie seems like a masterpiece compared to the horrendous Disaster Movie, it still sucked. This film was nothing more than a boring romantic comedy, with several spoofs of better films thrown in. You have much better comedy options to choose than this.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: A girl named Julia Jones is an ugly fat chick no one wants, who is seeking love in all the wrong areas, until she gets liposuction from a guy who is supposed to be spoofing Will Smith's character from Hitch (Widescreen Edition) and a crew of people supposed to be spoofing the show Pimp My Ride. She then competes in a show that makes fun of Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire? and wins the love of the handsome British man she falls in love with. But when her fiancee's ex shows up and threatens to destroy the wedding, Julia must stop this ex from ruining the plans.
MUSIC: The music does fit the romantic comedy theme, and it is pretty good. They even threw in some songs from other romantic comedies. However, in this day and age, the Milkshake song has gotten old and tiresome.
ACTING: Most of these actors aren't necessarily bad, but they get dragged down by too many bad jokes and spoofs. The dialogue can also get on your nerves with too much annoying sexual humor and racial slurs.
ACTION: Most of the spoofs are boring or just plain awful. The spoofs get boring because they overkill the jokes, and ruin them. The bad spoofs include the spoof of Kill Bill and wasted every opportunity to make a fun spoof out of that. There are also spoofs of Napoleon Dynamite as well as a few others, but I won't get into that because this film rips far too many films to want to list.
OVERALL: You and your date are better off watching an actual good romantic comedy instead. This film isn't worth your time or money especially when you look at review score averages (6% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). This film isn't torturous like Disaster Movie, it's just boring and uninspired.
THE GOOD: Some funny spoofs, good music, and decent actors.
THE BAD: Too many awful or boring spoofs, no original ideas of its own, and bad dialogue.

Date Movie
Added 2/4/2009
>Very funny! Made in awfully poor taste, just what I like. It absolutely spoofs other movies and television shows to death, leaving one to wonder where can it all end; what with so much ridiculous imitating of other productions going on, it barely has time to follow it's own storyline or plot. Some scenes are just plain gross, in the direct-in your face style that shocks and violates all of your six senses-which more often than not-repels, rather than sets one's affections for the eventual wedding couple;
(let alone any other members of the cast)...However, it is hilarious and over the top, with nonstop ludicrous scene after scene-complete with a happy ending for the two young lovers that none of us would really want to know or meet up with anywhere. If I did I would RUN!-Kevin Griffin...

The movie is an epic....EPIC FAILURE!!
Added 11/1/2009
Ok, the movie title sums pretty much of the movie up. It's a epic...epic failure. I thought it'll be like the "Scary Movie" series but its just garbage. It's so beyond cheesy and lame, there is no word to describe the movie. The casting is horrible, the effects are horrible. Its just one thing after another. I went movie shopping at Wal-Mart, and this was a movie I got. It happened to be $20.00, but in all honesty, its not even worth 20 cents! I threw it away just like I did when I got "Kids in America" starring another washed up druggie: Nicole Richie. Another part I don't like is when that girl portraying Paris Hilton. I think its mean and cruel. I love Paris Hilton!

A DESPICABLE WASTE OF HUMANITY 2.25 OUT OF 10
Added 10/17/2009
Words hardly describe the 'Movies' of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. With each new film from them, they each earn many distinctions from people as the "worst movie ever," and they just keep making their films even worse as they go along. In fact, their films are so bad, I'd have to say (most of) Uwe Boll's films look like cinematic masterpieces compared to these supposed parody films. Epic Movie is not as bad as Disaster Movie, but it's still a horrible experience of the most unbearable length. It's like Friedberg and Seltzer said, "Hey, you know what? We don't need to put the slightest bit of effort into this film! Let's just make references, add break dancing scenes, add gay jokes, and repeat things over and over again! All right! Now we can get more stupid teens to go see this!" Friedberg and Seltzer are the biggest hacks in the history of Hollywood. They are a waste and an insult to all of humanity, and should burn in the flames of Hell.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Four orphans (Who just so happen to be adults): Lucy, Peter, Susan, and Edward all win tickets to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, where they are taken prisoners to be made into chocolate. Then one day, as they are all trying to escape from Willy Wonka, they find a mysterious wardrobe which leads them to the land of Gnarnia (A 'G' in front of Narnia? Ha! Ha! Hilarious!), where they are all learn about the evil White B**ch who will destroy the world if she is not stopped. So the four orphans must go see Aslo (The Liman who is part lion and part human) and encounter a series of many other crappy parodies along the way.
Below is a list of the films that you can look forward to this film "referencing" to throughout it:
1. The Chronicles of Narnia.
2. The Da Vinci Code.
3. Snakes On A Plane.
4. Pirates of the Carribean.
5. Scarface.
6. A Christmas Story.
7. X-Men.
8. Borat (Yes! Let's make fun of comedy that's infinitely superior to this film in every way possible!).
9. Nacho Libre.
10. Willy Wonka/Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
11. Superman Returns.
12. Lord of the Rings.
13. Click
AND MANY MORE FOR YOUR PLEASURE! OH BOY!
MUSIC: The score itself isn't so bad, but it's ruined by the horrible rap music and horrible break dancing scenes.
ACTION: There is nothing good about this area in the slightest. Loaded with bad special effects and cheap set designs, this is yet another area this film fails spectacularly in. On top of being incredibly unfunny, it's also incredibly dull and you will be wishing for those 93 minutes of your life you just wasted back. The only highlights are of brief female nudity, that is all.
ACTING: Well, the guy who impersonates Jack from Pirates of the Carribean is okay, but everyone else just sucks. You will despise these people, and you will not wish to every hear of their existence again. It's disheartening to see Kal Penn who was in both Harold and Kumar films and Fred Willard in this horrendous film and see them being at their most unfunny. Another area this film is an epic failure in.
HUMOR: I only chuckled briefly twice. I don't remember what those moments were, but that was all! This film only serves as a torture and a punishment for our sins. Start repenting and praying that Friedberg and Seltzer will never make anymore parody films.
OVERALL: A despicable, unbelievably horrendous, and absolutely God-awful waste of time and humanity, Epic Movie is only epic in the sheer number of ways that it sucks. To enjoy this film, you need to be below the ranks of a complete moron and need to be on some serious drugs to enjoy this kind of film. If you say that "You need good taste in humor to appreciate this kind of film," there is a special place in Hell for people like you.
THE GOOD: Those two moments I chuckled and brief female nudity.
THE BAD: Everything else.

STOP MAKING THESE GODDAMN HORRIBLE THINGS
Added 8/23/2009
It is such a sad thing that people use millions of dollars to make trash instead of using it to help those in need. There is no excuse for this [no word to express my disgust]. I flipped back and forth to it, as a masochist would, each time feeling more sick at the "jokes" about midgets used as projectiles, pop culture references and whatever else the [no word to describe who made this thing] put together to make EM. Who is paying to see this garbage and WHY?
Anyone who gives this thing more than one star (which is one star too many) needs to be shipped off and abandoned to the land of retards.
