Why We Rated This off for Ages 15 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Tedious, unimaginative gags about sex and dating; though the daters find true love, it's hard to care because they're only one-dimensional bases for jokes.
  • Violence:

    Comic violence, but gross and sometimes brutal (Grant shoots and kills bachelorettes on Extreme Bachelor; kids on a date express their "love" by beating up a homeless man).
  • Sex:

    Women wear tight outfits and show cleavage; references to gay men (Julia thinks one is interested in her, Grant has an ex-boyfriend), diner features neon sign that shows man tongue-kissing a sheep; "date doctor" has OB-GYN on his office door; kissing is repeatedly excessive, involving licking and slobbering; Jello (joke on J-Lo) has huge behind; Grant appears to fake an orgasm in restaurant (copying Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally..., and also rubbing his nipples); Julia emulates "Girls Gone Wild" video, removing her bikini top in a hot tub (covered with a superimposed bar); Grant and Julia kiss passionately and pull of clothes, then scene cuts to post-sex conversation in bed; Andi mimics Paris Hilton and others (wearing bikini, wet, gyrating, rubbing hamburgers and other foods on her body).
  • Language:

    Obnoxious language, used frequently: s-word, "damn," "crap," "hell," "ass", "d--khead" (written), slang for sex ("lots of tail").
  • Consumerism:

    Rediwhip; Vagisil; Cosmopolitan magazine; T-Mobile Sidekick; Trio 650.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Cat smokes cigarette, references to smoking in a diary.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Date Movie

Parents need to know that this film is comprised of relentless obnoxiousness. Body and bodily function jokes include gastrointestinal distress, coughing up hairballs, moles, and pimples (one popped to release lots of goo); a chicken wing stuck between a girl's teeth, body makeover in the form of "Pimp My Ride" (hair removal, liposuction, a sander for yellow toenails, a drill taken to girl's body); cat using the toilet with much farting and grunting; urn with grandma's ashes also includes skeleton (which cat proceeds to hump, sexually); and cats are tossed about in an old woman's apartment. Sex and "date" jokes include horrified reactions to obese girl (her breasts turn around on her body as the soundtrack plays "Milkshake," which includes sexual references); sloppy and extensive kissing; arranged marriages; boy's last name (Fonckyerdoder, reference to "Focker"); couple exchanges lyrics of 50 Cent's "Candy Shop" (sexual references); allusion to "knocked up"; uses of "ho" and "bitch"; a cat smokes a cigarette, apparently after sex with old woman.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how this kind of humor influences kids and their developing relationship to their sexual lives. They can also ask what would happen in real life if these situations occurred. Since the target group for this movie is young teens who are emerging into their own sexuality, it's important to have a discussion that balances out the movie's humor with respect for the opposite sex and for sex itself.

    Very well done!

    I saw this movie and could barely tell it was a spoof. It was interesting and funny and an all around great movie

    Origional, but often dull spoof movie

    This movie is funny, but i have seen beter, it has some issues though: 1. comic violence and suicide. 2.Language includes S--t, a-s, B--ch and more. 3. lots of sexual content including women in skimpy outfits, implied sex and nudity, and many sexual refrences and jokes. This movie is worth watching if you love spoofs, but if not, you probably won't enjoy it that much.

    Not as good as it would've been.

    I can sum this film up in one word: Eeew. There are a lot of gags about sex, dating, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, sex, fat people, Lil Jon, sex, King Kong, sex, and Greek diners. Did I mention there are gags about sex? There's a fake orgasm and that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's (kinda brutal) slapstick like bumfights and the "Elimination Round" of a Bachelor type show with guns. Profanity? Iffy. Social Behavior? Iffy. Everything? Iffy. But the sex? Red. The film's still extremely funny. It's probably about as rude as Punk'd or Drawn Together. Although I think this film's funny, this is one case not to ignore the pause rating.

    inappropriate but hilarious

    it seems that most people here didn't like this movie, however i have differing oppinions that i wouldn't mind sharing. this movie made me non-stop laugh the whole time. if you can handle it, you'll love it, but it depends what type of humor you like..

    Stunk to high heaven!

    This movie was so bad, it was almost painful to watch. Only one or two jokes were funny. Even my immature boyfriend disliked Date Movie! Avoid this movie, there's really nothing good that can come of watching it.
