Plot: A town is unknowingly host to a malicious virus that turns normal people into extremely unfunny impersonations of seminal movie characters.Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
This complex piece of post-modern horror digs deeper than any previous movie in this series. Here is a movie that shows no restraint in its examination of the human condition and the limits of our psyche's descent into the overwhelming mundanity of contemporary cinema. Here is a film that exposes the disgusting, decomposing underbelly of film audience and architecture in the most horrifically exaggerated way possible. While not the most scarring of the series, Date Movie will surely impregnate your senses, possibly turning you off movie-viewing for a decade or even forever. These shock movies aren't really my cup of tea, but for being one of the first, Date Movie is absolutely deserving of acclaim. From sick minds comes the best kind of art, and as supremely challenging as this material may be, it's importance should be indisputable.
Best scene: Choosing just one scene out of the wealth of moments tattooed into my recollection is no easy task, but the immortal Kill Bill parody is as monstrous as it is pulse-quickeningly beautiful.
Warning: This film has been known to trigger psychotic episodes in some small-to-medium sized endotherms.
