Critically Acclaimed: Date Movie and It Happened One Night

There was a time when spoofs like DATE MOVIE ruled the world. We do not speak fondly of those times. This cheap shot, gross-out parody of rom-coms like MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING and SHALLOW HAL is pretty hard to watch nowadays, but you asked us to do it, and we had no choice but to comply. Fortunately, we get to pair it with the classic comedy IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, the film which invented many of the tropes that DATE MOVIE would send-up, nearly a century later. Plus, we’ve also got new reviews of ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE, MIRAI and THE POSSESSION OF HANNAH GRACE! Hurray!
