Yes, Scary Movie-like spoofing of romantic comedies, and crassly. No real reason to see it as it is not particularly funny and the send-ups show how good some of the originals were – although Jennifer Coolidge does a great Barbra Streisand in Meet the Fockers.

The main thing to do if you are a movie buff is to indulge in Trivial Pursuit making sure you have all the references, which include My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Shallow Hal, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Mr and Mrs Smith, Hitch, The Wedding Planner, The Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball, Jerry Maguire and a weak King Kong finale.
