Date Movie, starring Alyson Hannigan, is being released without benefit of critic's screenings. This is frequently a big old warning sign. Too bad, the idea of spoofing the conventions of a romantic comedy has promise.
Possibly it's an idea that would have been better in the hands of a Richard Curtis or Jim Brooks, people who know how to make date movies in the first place. Rather than "two of the six writers of Scary Movie."
What's more of a shame is that this is, unless I'm mistaken, the first film in which Hannigan is first-billed, and it's probable failure will keep her in TV. Hannigan is the rare actress who can play comedy or drama while also being a beautiful woman.
Yet apart from (arguably) American Pie, go prove that by the movies in which she's been cast.

I think it's meant to be a parody along the lines of Scary Movie, anyway, so it's likely to have puerile humour and get slammed for it. Still, it's nice to see her get top billing.
